- The new season of Man vs. Wild. My favorite TV show is back! More scenes of eating live animals and bugs, squeezing water out of elephant dung, and grabbing live baby alligators!
We fired up the rotisserie for the first time this year. A whole leg of lamb rubbed with garlic, thyme, and oregano, olive oil, and lemon. I think I overcooked it slightly, but it was still damn tasty.
- Yesterday was my very first Father’s Day. The kids chipped in and got me a pair of old-skool Jack Purcell’s. I love the timeless classic look of these, and I get the feeling that I’ll be wearing these for a very long time.
- Father’s Day breakfast at the Deluxe Town Diner, with their most delicious blue corn pancakes. I have to figure out how to make these at home.
- The Tess Gallery is constantly being updated. This past week features her first real bath. Yes, these will be the pictures that we show to her future boyfriends to completely humiliate her. Luckily, she has at least 30 years until she’s allowed to date, so she has some time to prepare herself.
- I’m utterly shocked at how good Adobe Photoshop Lightroom fixes my photos. By shooting in RAW format, it automatically corrects exposure, fill light, white balance, sharpening, etc., completely saving pictures that I thought were worthless. It’s as if all of a sudden, I have twice as many good looking photos.
- Tess has cooperated and allowed us to eat out at restaurants. By timing it correctly, she’ll sleep through the entire meal in her car seat. I know that this won’t last forever, so we’ll take advantage of it while we can. We’ve also discovered that at 6pm, every restaurant is filled with parents with little kids.
- What are the odds of breaking two different pairs of sunglasses in one week. It’s not that I sat on them or something, but they just broke from fatigue and they cracked. Luckily, I learned by lesson years ago and refuse to pay more than $15 for a new pair.>/li>
- The lovely Suse and I played some Guitar Hero 2 in Best Buy last week. I’ve heard a ton about this game, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it in person and played it, and I can see how it could become completely addicting. It took a few plays before getting the hang of it, but once you catch on, man, is it fun. I used to be a huge video game freak, but no longer have the patience or interest in most of them nowadays. But I think something like this could keep me entertained for hours. Our friend just got a Wii, and I think I might have to spend the summer at his house.
