So.....On a whim

[Stinger]

So was preparing for a typical weekend. Wife and I working around the house on Saturday daughter working at her job over the weekend, and son working on a college paper. Sunday watching football on TV with said son and wife.

Saturday wife gets call …. meeting has been moved up to Monday so she out of the picture this weekend, but the son emerges and said he got his paper done early. So son’s been busy at school and I’ve been busy with work, so haven't spent a lot of time together lately. So I ask if he wants to help me around the house. His response was not as enthusiastic as I would have hoped, but he agreed started raking leaves in the back yard.

While working we talk about school, and what not, his plans for the weekend, he had no real plans except for the paper he wrote. So then as usual we get to talking about the game this weekend against the Colts. Got to talking more than working and just enjoying ourselves. Then got to thinking how I have missed this interaction with my son.

Got a wild idea ……. 7 hours later…… Here we are.


Awesome road trip so far.
