What a bright-eyed little floof!

Good morning.

After the desk was assembled, we went to lunch at a place called Lonny Boys, and it was really a disappointment. Its supposed to be BBQ, but since my Favorite Son lives in the South, he knows BBQ, and what we had wasn’t. I won’t go there again. Two eateries down, a dozen to go.

From there, we went across the street to the theater, and watched “Midway” and I’m here to tell you, if you haven’t seen it, GO! I think I held my breath through half of it, and cried through the rest of it. What a movie. There were a couple of clips that I recognized from WWII “official” War Department movies of planes crashing on carriers. They were cleaned up digitally and you couldn’t tell they were anything but part of the movie. There were one or two parts that were slightly “bogus” but I give the movie a AA Thumb’s Up.

Then I followed him into St George, as they are at McCarran as we speak, getting ready to fly back home. All in all it was an amazing few days, and I had a lot of fun with my son. His wife even said, “I love you, Mommie!” She calls her step-mother “Carol,” not “Mom.” What an honor! She’s come a long way!

I found my way at night, through two traffic circles to River Road, which is the only road I know in St George, thanks to Greta Goober, and from there to home. (Google Maps)

So I now don’t have enough gas to get to St George next Sunday for my great-niece’s Farewell, but I’ll worry about that later.

I slept until 0440, and now I have to go jump in the shower. I’ve lost 2-1/2 of my most productive hours and I almost feel in a panic. “Sleeping in” does that to me! GAH!!
