so we leave town friday after work, headed to richmond - as is becoming more and more usual - ready as the season calls to hit the mountains for a day trip of riding, powered by nana and pop *aka g-diddy* (the only people our kids like more than us, santa clause and chucky cheese cyborgised and replicated baring gifts and wisdom). upon arrival, nana has an ear infection (x2) and bronchitis. nix the trip. no sweat, great time to help her out and just kick it, take care of her, pay back the eons of favors, etc. 2 days pass of such; and, with little to note other than a few good old fashioned weekend activites..

• tiger woods ‘08 on the wii
• IPAs! (big up the 90 minute imperial dogfish, though wifey prefers for some reason the 60 minute edition)
• b-dubz (buffalo wild wings) and a wolfpack win on the road
• a brief introduction of DDR *not ram, but breakin’ it down* to pop, lightly flirting with a fall into the creek
• i actually think this was last towards the tail end of last weekend maybe, but worth a mention nonetheless. “un-tee surr’ dawg,” and her innocently easy handful of play-doh -> new man, which in her position and the level of this kid’s believable good-guy-ness should be a no-brainer.. come on, a nice guy sub 5 years, basketball coach from the midwest or somewhere like that!?!? too easy, she’s 30 and single! duurrrrrr.
• *** and *** kaylee getting her ear’s pierced - no big deal right? she did great! brave, nothing to it, etc.

…until, ’round midnight the day before our venture home, let the scream-a-thon begin - guess what it is? kaylee’s ears. ok, what’s wrong with the screaming kid? ears. so is it -
(a) the earrings?
(b) the psychological effects of the earrings? (ok, that was probably only applicable to me)
…or…
(c) the ear infection

who woulda thought, but after seeing dr. feelgood meyers, alas all is well again. we return tomorrow @7am to make it back in time for school, thus avast.
