Back in the country, just me and my dad. I’ve settled in at the school house, and I have a fire going and a little antenna up on a windowsill where I can get a single, lone bar of signal for my Verizon wireless card. Hey Verizon: I can’t hear you now.
We had a nice time over the weekend up in Baltimore with redmed, justkidding_nr, and sacredangle. It was my dad’s 60th birthday, so we went ahead with plans made previously and celebrated. The activities included my siblings introducing us to Viccaro’s pastry shop. We ate Way Too Much dessert. My brother was actually defeated by the “Death by Chocolate.” I’m not convinced that I’ve ever seen any amount of food stop him cold before.
For my part, I’ve been trying to avoid self pity … but I did some serious wallowing in rum cake.
