My wife chid me for not writing anything all month.
This month was Kevin's birthday. All month. At least he wanted it that way. Just before his birthday I traded in my 1995 Ford Escort Wagon for a 2006 Toyota Sienna. He's okay with the van, but keeps asking why I opted for that instead of a red pickup.
We celebrated his birthday at Mr Gatti's pizza place. He had a good time and we didn't have to clean the house before OR after the party, which was good for us.
We took the van out for an inaugural road trip for Thanksgiving. We drove to Longview on Wednesday and to Comanche on Friday night before returning home mid-day on Sunday.
Longview and Thanksgiving were more fun than they have been in some time. I blame "Apples to Apples" and Aunt Terry's hospitality. Kevin got a little birthday celebration, along with Jacob and Gayland Friday evening just before we left. He got another set of gifts at Comanche, the best of which was a scale model John Deere tractor.
I continue to be overly interested in soccer, but it's starting to mellow a little. I'm not quite so giddy, and my wife will occasionally listen to my comments and watch a little when it's good.
