HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!
You too! Happy Father's Day!
Got my wisdom teeth removed this morning... All four of 'em. Yay.
Hope your weekend is much better than mine is starting out to be.

watch out for dry sockets. Man those hurt.
Ouch! Cut out or pulled? Either is pretty bad. But they give you better drugs if you've had them cut out.
I've been meaning to ask you - for some reason I think you'd know, but I have no proof of that. Anyhow -
fun things to do with teenagers in New Orleans? We're vacationing there this summer. We've been once - 25 years ago for our honeymoon. I'm sure much is different.
Lepplady - your advise would be valued too!
And ear infections. I had mine pulled out and ended up with double ear infections from the drainage.
Owie!Feel better!
Here's an endless supply of popsicles just for you.

Cut out. And yes the drugs they gave me have been most appreciative.
As for New Orleans, it's been a while since I've been there. I will be going there briefly again at the end of next month for a concert. I'm just a bit out of touch on what teenagers might find fun, lol. If I wasn't working so much these days I might be able to go out that way more often.
Talking to my son about slow-cooker leftovers:
Me: "What do you think I have three container full of in the fridge right now?"
Son: "The hearts of your enemies."
Me: "Second shelf."
Son: "The dismembered body parts of people you only dislike."
Me: "In the door, son. In the door."
Son: "Oh. Your Tony's." (Tony Chachere's cajun spice.)
Me: Facepalms. "Crock pot leftovers, dude."
Son: "oooooooh. Those."
True story. Just hung up the phone.

That's great!
Oh - well, they won't find anything they have to do with us exactly fun. But I know there are some tours that might be fun for me to force on them . I found Lord Chaz online - it seems like an interactive tour - but I wonder if it's too cheesy. And I was thinking an air boat swamp tour might be fun - have you ever been on one? But they are pricey - if we do it, I want it to be worth the money. This was supposed to be our 25th anniversary trip and I didn't think we were inviting the kids, but the Ogre wanted to. We're even taking the almost 25 year old.
I knew you weren't a teenager. But I don't remember why I thought you would know. Someone said something about you being from that part of the state, I think, somewhere, sometime.
Grandma and I turned to a PBS show about the fusion of country/western performers Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson doing a group thing for the road.
I'm not a country/western guy. I grew up on rock'n'roll, and one particular rock'n'roll band (ELP) introduced me to classical, and I like that too.
But what i really like, beyond genre, is virtuosity. And let me say, the group that we saw on this show had virtuosity in spades. I tried to imagine the rock'n'roll equivalent. What if John/Paul, Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix had done a tour? Or, whatever. Iconic characters who not only melded but liked being around each other.
I grasped for an equivalence, and all I could thing of was the prototypical basketball USA Dream Team, where Jordan et al. showed the rest of the world how far behind they really were in basketball.
While all of those C&W guys are legends in their own right, I have a special fondness for Kris Kristofferson (Rhodes scholar, helicopter pilot, football player, actor, and country recorder), ever since I realized that he actually wrote the lyrics that Janis Joplin put to such good use in "Me and Bobby McGee."
"I was feeling nearly faded as my jeans"
"freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"
"I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday"
You just don't get better, whatever your genre. Play it it to blues, to country, to rap, to swing. It's just great imagery.
So we watched the PBS show, and it was eminently worthwhile, and after we clicked it off, I sang a few verses to Jennings' "Luckenbach, Texas." Grandma looked at me, a little shocked, and said, "I didn't realize you knew that song."
Well, sure. I try to stay versed in the classics.
