We're Not Going to Win Any Awards for Blogging (Yet)

Hey All,

When we last left off, nearly two weeks ago, Jenn and I were in the midst of an ant problem. I'm happy to report we, along with Triple S Services, have crushed the ants. So much for the animal revolution! We had also just finished a Memorial Day weekend that culminated in a party at Tucker and Meghan's place in Takoma Park or Silver Spring (we're not exactly sure where it is). We were riding a big time high, at least I was, fueled by a few Corona's and the exhilaration of winning a cornhole match with Jim Sauber. The two Michigan alums just flat out humbled Tucker and his ringer teammate (I forget his name, but he was from Arkansas). Jim and I came through in the clutch to win the series two games to one with some big holes in one down the stretch. So inspired was I that I may have just ordered my own custom Cornhole set from AJJCornhole of Cincinnati, OH. It should be here next week. Tucker, Jim lets get ready for the rematch! Now, the Cornhole victory would have made even the lamest party a good time,but let me tell you Tucker and Meghan have a great place, even better friends and threw a super party!! Do I smell an annual tradition in the making?? Graeme was introduced to Heidi Sauber and I think they had a pretty good bonding session. Heidi is quite possibly the most natural person with kids I've ever scene! Graeme was putty in her hands. Graeme had great time and if I had remembered the camera you all would see pictures that would support that claim.

One of the funniest vignettes of the weekend happened on the way home. Jenn drove (see above regarding Coronas) and I sat with Graeme. I must have been so exhilarated from the cornhole that I began to fall asleep. Here is a brief excerpt from part of our ride home

Jenn: "Is Graeme asleep?"
Will: Said in a have sleep induced trace "Not quite, but soon."
Jenn: "What"
Will: "Because they had a Catholic Wedding"
Jenn: "Are you falling asleep?"
Will: "Yes, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

Jenn is still giving me a hard time!

In keeping with the theme of the blog I should tell you that Jenn and I brought Jenn's Grilled Vegetable Pasta Salad, It was a big time crowd pleaser, although she is quick to point out that my first plate was loaded with Bar-Be-Que and no pasta salad. Jenn is pretty good at summer salads, pasta, tomato and mozzarella and grilled veggies are all right in her wheel house and she kills them every time! I put together a mixed berry trifle, that we actually put in a big hurricane candle thing, since we didn't have a trifle dish. Okay, I actually bought it thinking it was a trifle dish until Jenn pointed out how thin the sides were! Hey I've always said this Jenn is the one the is MUCH MUCH better at the presentation and table scape stuff than I so it's no surprise I goofed that up. Anyway it looked great and most of it was gone when we left.

Well that is all for now, sorry to leave so abruptly, but we are off to dinner at Cafe Berlin with the Picks.

Peace
