Y'all get some Cadbury Cream Eggs or what? Peanut Butter Eggs? man those are good.

Hit the beach all weekend with The Real Man. Sunburned, but a monumental sand castle was constructed, and then destroyed.

We then experienced an Italian Easter feast that I will never forget. It was at this gentleman's previous home...

I could still smell Katina Taylor is the pool table room.

It was very nice, thank you.

The highlight of the weekend was taking the kids to see this show:
http://www.barrelofmonkeys.org/performances/

My wife and I laughed our asses off; so did our kids.

Quote:
After teaching creative writing in the CPS system, BOM’s ensemble of actors, comedians, musicians and playwrights selects and adapts some of the thousands of stories generated by children for stage presentation. The result has been an audience favorite—a show that is “safe” for all ages, yet very much appreciated by an adult audience. “That’s Weird, Grandma” changes each week according to audience votes (switching one to three sketches each performance), and each show runs about one hour. The show started in April 2001, and has produced over 500 stories and musical numbers.

Christopher Piatt of the Chicago Reader says: "This group is funnier than anything at Second City, more genuinely creative than anything at Lookingglass, and does more good than all the other nonprofit theaters in town put together. If you don't have a good time, there's something wrong with you."


Afterwards we went out for tapas.

You know, a traditional-type Easter thing.

Great weekend if crazy busy.

Good Friday, I drove the wife and kids to my parents house to enjoy crawfish and beer. Crawfish are finally getting good. Then went and had drinks with a couple friend while my parents watched the girls.

Holy Saturday, We drove with our couple friends to NOLA for lunch and drinks at Cafe Adelaide, and to show our friends the new house. Went back to my parents house and drank old fashions on their patio.

Easter Sunday, we drove to my wife's aunt house for another family party where we drank beer and ate crawfish bisque.

Lots of family, friends, booze, and good food. Who can complain with that.

Traveling to Norfolk, NE to visit my Dad and staying in a local motel went as well as it could, and we didn't have car problems.

The highlight was going to see Deerhunter last night. Some of my friends opened up for them and I had a nice spot at the front of the stage to see the show. They were filming it for some reason.

Ate some dim sum with $5 bottomless mimosas, then two rehearsals.

I was stuffed for the rest of the day.

Brunch at Neuro's, some biking, some fixing stuff, some drinking, some grilling... good shit. Epic Weekend Weather too, for the first time all year, = killer timing. It was shitball outside like up til 2 weeks ago.

Friday-Went to my boys JV Highschool Baseball Game which was way too long because the 3 of us were driveing to Boston to see DBT/Lucero at 8 pm--Drove like a fool to get there, walked throught the door literally the second Lucero started their 1st song, stayed in the HOJO's right next to Fenway, then drove home the next morning.

Saturday and Sunday- The rest of the weekend was all about the bunny and my 7 year old daughter.

Unfortunately, ol ball and chain begged me to shave it off, so I did. I have a fine pair of Rodney Dangerfield-in-Caddyshack-pants to make up for/embarass her further.

Weekend was amazing - went to Mobile for a Crawfish Boil, drank a fifth of 21 year old scotch, got chased down the street by a bouncer after I walked next door to the hotel to a bar, ordered a glass of wine for Femgar, poured it into a to go cup and walked out the door. I was safely behind the locked door by the time he caught up with me, though.

Ate some BOMB ASS Mexican Food at my new fave joint in the world, saw a buddy's new house, and then took care of client issues from the Mobile Command Center aka my Yukon on the drive home.

Went to church, took pictures with the baby, took a 2 1/2 hour nap (something I NEVER do) Sunday afternoon, and then cooked up Leg of Lamb with Spaghetti Carbonara and had a strong martini in bed.

Yeah, I heard a "HEY MAN" as I slipped the card in, and the guy got to the door and I shrugged, smiled and kept walking. She enjoyed the wine.
