I meant to write up a post on Sunday, but quite frankly, I was even more exhausted than I thought I would be and promptly falling asleep after visiting Diana for her birthday.

Speaking of, for her birthday, we went to Rita’s. I have never been to a Rita’s before, and it was good, although I’m not sure if it is good enough to support all the hype I hear every year about it. I had a gelati, which is Italian ice sandwiched between custard. I made a root beer float with vanilla custard and root beer Italian ice, which worked out pretty well. I did promise Diana that we’d go to Charlie’s, the local soft-serve place before it closed since she has never been there.

Fishing Derby and Trailblazer were a lot of fun, and everyone seemed to have a really good time. I was in the kitchen for most of it washing dishes, but I was able to walk around a bit and even run the trading post for a while. Dinner was crazy and I never thought I’d make it through the pile of dirty trays, and by the time we were done, it was time to start cooking for cracker barrel, but that’s the fun of the kitchen. We had music going and I got to play in the bubbles, and we had a great time.

My boss has a wii, and plays Call of Duty, or at least has tried it for a little bit. That makes me happy.

Coming home from camp, I came via Rt. 66 and when I merged back onto Rt. 22 I was met with two giant billboards.  The first with a large picture of the sun with the line “Man made global warming, the big lie” and directly underneath it, one with an old white man shaking his fist, declaring that seniors will lose Medicare coverage and instead be encouraged to die.  Fun times!

I’m currently reading the new Dan Brown book, The Lost Symbol (look for a fun link in the next couple days once I find it again), so I’ve taken a short break from “Haunted.”  However, I didn’t realize it glowed in the dark, since up until now, I had it face down.  This is what I was staring at, glowing in the dark last night:

A bit unnerving to say the least.

I’m still fairly tired, allergies are in full swing, so I’m saving a bunch of links until I can think a bit better.  Until then, have a great one!
