Got Out of the House
Spent the day visiting with various college friends, many of whom I’ll see again next week at a wedding. Remind me to have a word with either the Yahoo directions folks or PennDOT about the direction of Germantown Pike – that led to about 20 minutes of wandering around trying to find an Outback Steakhouse. Regardless, it was good to see people and spend some time away from the keyboard and the yard. Not necessarily in that order.
The unintentional comedy highlight of the day had to be Alex, upon realizing we had not packed the specific yellow pencil that she wanted, wailing for at least fifteen minutes: “I want to go home! I don’t want to go to New Jersey!”
OK, so the Jersey tourism board won’t be calling us any time soon. Still, you gotta find the humor in the tantrums where you can.
About Dave Thomer
Born and raised in Philadelphia. Studied philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I made many great friends and met my wonderful wife. We moved back to Philadelphia, where I studied philosophy some more and became a teacher. Online and off, I'm looking for ways that we can be better citizens and build stronger communities.
