What a weekend! Let’s update…
On Friday I clocked out early. Went and picked up the kids, took them to Lawrence to drop off with Adro because Bub had a dentist’s appointment. I then turned around and drove to De Soto to play golf with Joe.
Waze took me a nice, relaxing back way to De Soto. Only problem? Some jackass tailgated me the whole way… even on two of my random-ass turns. I slowed down to 50 at one point, with plenty of daylight ahead of me … moron wasn’t interested, just wanted to be on my bumper the whole way. Apparently he had attachment issues.
When I finally got to the golf course, I realized I was coming in from the opposite direction of what I was used to, so instead of a right, it was a left… and it was sudden. I decided a hard brake was what this dude deserved and if he was going to play golf, I was ready to discuss. It was somewhat satisfying seeing him lock up his brakes behind me as I made my left into the golf course. Ha!
Golf was good. I dropped a bomb on Joe on No. 5 for par, taking a two-stroke lead, and I played solid from there. Weather was perfect. Music was just OK (sorry Joe.) Strangely the par threes are what killed me. My 3-wood is solid right now…
(Interpol on the jukebox right now… so, soooo good.)
Drove home and I missed Bub, he went next door for a sleepover. My pal Josh came over with his daughter Isla and we listened to the jukebox and played Uno. Made some frozen pizzas because I’m fancy. Isla took the Uno series, 3-2-2.
Adro went and got Evey who was at the Eudora football game. They lost a close one. Her pal Ryan came over and they had a sleepover (I think they may have helped knock out the pizzas because I may have over-estimated the amount of food needed.)
Back at the HOJ, it was barely 10 o’clock and I was falling asleep. Josh and Isla went home and Adrianne reports I fell asleep instantly. It was a long week. Plus, my 3-wood. Dolla billz.

Saturday I woke up early (well, I went to bed early) and snuck in a work-out (I know!) then I made literally six omelets. Is that how you spell omelets? I think it should get an extra l. Omellets. Maybe not.
Then we went to Bub’s soccer game. We played in De Soto, on the crooked field. It slopes on a severe angle. If you’re defending the north goal, you have to be ready, the ball funnels right at you. Interestingly, Adrianne loves this field and doesn’t see the problem. The kids and I discussed it and we think she might have slope blindness. If that’s a thing.
Boyd played goalie first half and only gave up one goal, when the team totally bailed on him. These kids… if they’re playing offense, they swarm their own teammate. If the ball penetrates our goal box? They scatter like it’s a grenade. I don’t get it. I may have made a girl cry but in my defense, she cried before the first practice even started. (She came back on the field and even had a few decent plays.)
Our team lost 2-1 (maybe 3-1) but honestly, the goalie single handedly beat us. He made crazy saves and we took a ton of shots… even dominated time of possession (TOP). We got three PKs. Kid saves three PKs!!! Crazy. I do think the kid was 17 or 18, but still — he had a nice game! I hope he enjoys college next year.
We got home and had a decision to make. Go play in the EHS boy’s basketball golf tournament? Or chill-ax? Both kids had sleepovers, and I had just cooked six ommmelletts. We decided we deserved a break. We called it a fun day to do whatever you want.
Boyd took a short rest then ran next door to hang with Aiden. Evey took a little nap then went to her room to watch Netflix. Adro was productive and watered then cleaned the garage. I mowed the yard then came to the HOJ and cleaned here and there in anticipation of the KU/Duke game. Everyone was happy (and the weather was beautiful.)
Adrianne finished her chores then came over to the HOJ and sold me a free beer. We collectively killed the Coors keg. It was a good keg. It was $59 and actually, North Coast paid for it. I don’t love Coors, but I love cheap keg beer. And I really love free keg beer.
Kansas played well for a half. I enjoyed watching them. They’re getting better.
As the sun was going down (and the weather was so nice) I proposed an outdoor movie to the family. Only Adrianne said no. So I set it up and we watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Adro even joined us! It was a nice cool night, we all had hoodies/stocking caps and blankets. The movie looked great. I’ve been wanting to watch that movie on the projector since we got it. Adro scored it on Redbox for $1 recently, good get!
I fell asleep by 10:30 again. I had a cool dream that my Dad and I went to a Wichita Wings game together. The only weird thing about it was it was at a strange location, maybe Southwestern Moundbuilder’s gym in Winfield, Kan. But I was my current age, and he was like I remember him.

Woke up around 6 a.m. because let’s be honest … that’s almost 8 hours of sleep right there.
Did not go workout because instead we went to go praise sweet baby Jesus, in person for the first time since March 2020.
The return to church was… the return to church. (I have so many questions.)
We then went to McDonald’s where I got a bacon-egg-and-cheese biscuit, hold the bacon. Or, wait! There’s some bacon hidden in there. I was SO HUNGRY but McDonald’s chose not to feed me this time. I’ll never order that again. Or I’ll order three of them. Even church was more satisfying.
Got home and I got my game face on. CHIEFS! Prepared the HOJ.
Sis and Marina came over. Jess brought some good queso dip. Neighbors came over as well, minus the dad, who had to work. I grilled cheeseburgers and they seemed to be a hit! But the game was a dud, and the Chiefs lost again, falling to 1-2, last in the division. Frustrating game.
I decided to stay in the HOJ all day. It’s 6 pm as I write, and I’ve been out here since 11 am. But the Ryder Cup was on, then the afternoon NFL game (fun watching Tampa lose) and soon Sporting will kick off.
Boyd came over and asked if he could go hang out at Aiden’s some more, I said yes, be home by 7:30. The girls are going to go see the move “Carrie” or “Karey” or “Carey” or “Cary” or “Kerry” I don’t know. Sounds awful. I’d rather go to church and then eat a baconless bacon-egg-and-cheese biscuit.
Weekend is almost over. It was a good weekend. Sad it’s over. But I’m looking forward to this mild weather.
(Interpol just came back on! So good.)
