I can honestly say that I am glad last week is over. But, I don't want to bore you with those details, so I will highlight the other stuff.
- I was really saddened to hear that Bernie Mac died today. He became the voice of parenting that I wish I could use. Bernie was a really funny guy and always made me laugh.
- I am reading Harry Turtledove's Guns of the South. In this Science Fiction alternate reality, a group of South African Whites steal a time machine and travel back to the Civil War to arm the confederacy with AK-47s. The book is a real page turner, but, how will it end?
- Today I finally cleaned my car. Really, I was starting to apologize to my fellow coffee runners every time they got in. It did not reach the legendary funkiness of George's mini-van (a classic post), but it had its own double dutch bus aroma all of its own.
- This morning, I took Megan out for a breakfast date. We went to the Broken Egg Bistro. She had a pancake and a slice of bacon. I had two biscuits covered in sausage gravy, two eggs and hash browns. We had great conversation.
- For lunch, I took Katie out on a luncheon date. We went to TGI Fridays. Katie had chicken fingers and fries. I had a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a coke. We talked all about the boating expedition that she went on yesterday with our local Marine Science Museum.
- I learned that, while these touch points with my girls are important, I need to schedule them on separate days. I am still stuffed.
- I've discovered that I really, really like country music.

I read that "Guns of the South" book. It was a page turner, for sure.
I took my daughter out on a date about a year ago. I told her we could go anywhere for dinner she wanted.
"McDonalds," was the reply.
Sausage gravy is good on anything.
On my last daughter date, we hit the Chick-Fil-A on Main Street in Columbia. Before that, Burger King. Daughters are cheap dates. :)
