OVER THE EDGE

So today we really should write something about Fat Tuesday or Presidents' Day or spring or celebrating something or other.  But all we can do is relay a little story that we bet you might find familiar.

Yesterday, being Presidents' Day, and being, of course, excited and pleased that our little chickadees would be home from school, we embarked on a small adventure.  Because it was unusually cold here in Texas (high-40s for some may not be very cold - for us it shuts things down), our outing to the park was rescheduled for Chuck E Cheese's.  We're not huge fans.  But the children are, and friends would be there, so off we went.

Two hours later, $60 poorer, we headed to meet more friends at another favorite - Chick-fil-A.  After all, the kids were out of school.  Shouldn't they get to go where they wanted to go?

We didn't fully realize the toll all the indoor excitement was taking on the elders in the crew.  Until we tried to tell a friend where to meet us for lunch, and out came, "Chuck E. fil-A".  Oh boy.  When does school start again?
