Was I the only one that made Oreos and Ice Cream for breakfast

[Glassunion]

for the kids on Saturday morning?

1. I used to make milkshakes.

Does that count?

2. Yep. That counts.

After a whole day of watching the news on Friday and a night of hugs and video games (we stayed up way too late) and about 200 calls from Mom. I made waffles with ice cream and Oreos. Just like the commercial, it started with "don't tell your mother".

I had been left alone with the niece and nefew for the weekend. I did not realize what sugar did to kids. I spent the next two hours what felt like herding cats.

3. You are a wonderful person and the children are extremely fortunate.

Mine are grown, but I felt the grief profoundly. If they were small, I think it would have been even worse.

4. The nice part about being an uncle

Is that I get to spoil and smother the crap out of them.

It was a good evening. I had my nephew driving race cars in Monte Carlo (video games), while I taught my niece to dance with the help of Davis, Coletrane and Charels. We built a fort and then played Godzilla. Then we all crashed on the living room floor.

5. I look forward to being a grandparent (sometime in the next 5 years or so)

for the same reasons.

Enjoy!

6. I love this:

". . . taught my niece to dance with the help of Davis, Coletrane and Charels."

May I just say you have an exquisite taste in music.

7. Not my generation at all

But it is so relaxing.

I really enjoy the modern artists as well. Michael Buble, Diana Krall, etc... They are keeping the style alive.

I have weird taste in music... Led Zep made me pick up the guitar, I work out to heavy metal, I jog to anything with a 180 time signature, basically, I don't have a specific taste. You'll find Bach, The Greatful Dead and Pantera all in my iPod.
