Go 'skers!

What ever happened to “Take your Sons to Work” day?

I’ve been running during my lunch hour on Fridays to the nearby levee. The five mile run is an excellent way to forget about work for 45 minutes and be around nature. What I also enjoy is the constant smell of licorice. Wild fennel grows all along the levee trail and is literally baked in the 90F plus temps. This heady elixir makes me think of Good & Plenty (I’m the only person my age still buying it as told to me by the Long’s Drugs check out clerk) or Stomach Ease Tea from Yogi Tea. Great stuff, both of ‘em.

Wouldn’t a child from one black parent and one white parent also be half white?

Sure glad I didn’t buy anything fancy for my nephews when my sister and her family came recently. The 4 X 4 box my chair came in and the bag of 40 clothes pins (for the chips) were a HUGE hit. Who knew?

I’m looking forward to another season of Hus (and college) football. That is one thing I missed when I was living in Europe. The Blackshirts are going to be tight with the return of Carriker, McKeon, and Moore. Now, if the O line can cowboy up and Taylor rounds the learning curve, we could be in for some fun (especially with Kenny Wilson at I-Back and Terrence Nunn returning punts). And, it looks like I’ll be spending some time at the Final Final, the NE bar in SF, as I won’t be getting a TV anytime soon. I’m blaming the stereo on that one.
