Ingies n' Things

Wise Alaskans appreciate preparedness.

My children, I am pleased to announce, are actively applying the preparedness lessons they have learned.

(Make a note – that sentence did not include the word “appropriately.”)

For example, one can never predict exactly what one might encounter when fishing. It is, therefore, prudent to anticipate a variety of circumstances.

I’m not exactly sure what my son thought he might encounter this afternoon when he headed out to the tiny little pond on his grandparents ranch to fish for catfish with his father.

Clearly he wasn’t anticipating falling in the pond. Whatever he was expecting I’m assuming he felt prepared.

Or at least really, really cool.

I think we’ll revisit the lesson on appropriate flotation devices.

Cheers,

The other day G looked like a Texas country boy . . . clean-cut hair, shirt tucked in, jeans, belt where it belongs and cowboy boots.

I hardly recognized him.

Who are you and what did you do with my child?

It lasted for about three hours.

And then the boy I know came back (minus the hair) . . . just in time for a trip to town (much to his father’s chagrin).

If you look closely you can see that the boots are even on the wrong feet . . . because if they were on the right feet it was either a) entirely by accident, or b) because someone else put his shoes on his feet for him.

That’s my baby!
