I sent the captain of my competitive fastball team an
e-transfer with my fees for the season and for some reason I wrote
Congratulations in the message space. I
have no idea what I meant by that.
For many years, I kept a family diary devoted to good news and funny stories about my family while the girls were growing up. I stopped a few years ago. I am thinking of starting it up again because I have noticed that a lot of good and funny things are happening to my wife and I.

Olden Days
Barb and I were talking about dress codes in the old days
when we were in high school. I said that
when I was in grade nine there was a lot of controversy over allowing girls to
wear pants to school. Up until then they had to wear skirts or dresses. Barb asked me if I remembered garter belts
from grade eight and I said how would I know about garter belts in grade eight
with a shocked expression on my face.
Tee Shirt
Waiting for the fireworks, they were giving away tee shirts
to people in the audience. They asked
who had come from another province and Laura put up her hand and said she was
from BC. The announcer called the
unicorn down and gave her a black tee shirt.
Obsessed
There was a little girl about 6 years old sitting in front
of us in the stands and when she went down the stairs to dance with the other
kids, her mother turned to us and told us that the little girl was obsessed
with Laura's hair. The mother said the
little girl's birthday was coming up and she would let her get a little purple
colouring in her hair. Laura wrote down
the name of the good hair dye she should use.
The mother asked if she could take a picture of the little girl with
Laura.
Unicorn
We were sitting in the stands watching the FMX Moto Extreme
Show of motorcycles jumping and doing stunts in the air. The announcer wanted us all to cheer for the
two guys who were doing the jumping. He
looked up in the stands and said he wanted the unicorn to cheer and he was
pointing at us. I guess Laura was the
unicorn because of her blue hair.
Parking
Barb and Laura thought the $5 entry fee to get into the park
for the Canada Day Festivities was only for parking. Since we had walked to the park, Barb and
Laura never paid they just walked right in.
I was behind them but I read the sign and realized it was a entrance fee
and had to pay.
Flowers
We were walking past a cemetery to the Canada Day
festivities and I said I had walked by the cemetery many times on my walks
downtown. I said that there were often
people in the cemetery putting flowers on the graves. Barb said she didn't see any flowers. And I starting pointing to flowers saying
there are flowers over there and flowers over there and flowers over there.
