Since it was Saturday I got to watch my two year old granddaughter, though my wife feels it's the other way around. I can't help it if I enjoy watching cartoons and making a mess with crayons, coloring books, and lego blocks. All baby girl wants to do is read books and talk to the dogs. So boring. And why is it bad to blow bubbles inside the house?
Later in the day, in a tribute to my manliness and to July Fourths long gone by I made a fire in the Weber grill, got some charcoal heated up, and barbequed some hotdogs.
