Happy, Happy

Mikey turned 10 yesterday. He kept saying the word decade, and it bugged me. Too fast! Too fast!

We celebrated his entrance into his “next decade” (his words) with swim tryouts. Hah! Not the most exciting of days, but this weekend he’s having a slumber party. We’re going out to dinner where there is a clarinet player. Then, the boys, I’m sure, are going to spend the rest of the night playing video games and watching Doctor Who. In the morning they want to play tennis and go swimming.

Sounds good to me, especially since the pool we go to has a bar. Since my favorite drink is nonalcoholic, I can have as many as I want without worrying about someone drowning. Soda water, cranberry juice, and two lime wedges = SO GOOD. Not too dry, and not too sweet if you are specific and ask for a heavy splash of cranberry juice. Splash! Otherwise the bartender thinks it’s a drink for a kid, and you’ll end up with a really sweet, disgusting drink.

Have you read the comments on yesterday’s post? So thoughtful, so accepting of different viewpoints, so willing to offer ideas and suggestions. I knew you all would make what could be a contentious subject interesting and inspiring. Thanks for that. :)
