July 5
Ive just crash landed back at HQ after another all day
event. Today Miles and I were at Penngrove park for their 34th
annual hometown parade. It was a long day that started with the perfect storm
of horribleness for Roger. I took the van with all the set-up in it and he took
the kids in the station wagon. As he got out the driveway he realized he
didn’t have enough gas to make it to the park, so stops at the gas
station…where he realizes his tire is FLAT. So he goes back home to air
up the tire only to find the air chuck (or whatever) has gone missing so he has
to go to another gas station to air up. Ok; gas, air….then the daughter
says ‘daddy…’ and he turns around and promptly barfs all over
herself and begins to cry. Ack! Back home and into the shower…about that
point I call and ask where he is as Ive had to lug all my stuff and try to set
up the tent and the humongous weights all by myself.
I soldier on and he washed the daughter and appear down at
the park a half hour later. Miles stays with me and we finish the set up. He is
continuing his education as line manager (still working on customer service
skills) but he got to see the parade up close and catch candy as they went by
(kind of like a mobile piƱata!) we were pretty hoppin’ after the parade
ended all the way up until about 15 minutes before the closing time –
even though there was another ‘free’ face painter volunteering for
her church. I saw Marvin whose picture inhabits a space on my board and friends
from iCandy pole dancing studio – who we will be painting next to later in
the month.
I talked to bunches of old-timer penngovians, some of whom
have only ever moved 5 miles away from where they were born!
I finally smartened up and let Miles wield the camera as I
always have the best of intentions but hardly ever break long enough to snap
anything.
We stopped at some fast food on the way home and he talked
me into giving him 10 minutes at the toy store with half his pay for the
weekend. He came out with some nerf dart gun (yeah…not) and then on to
home – where approximately 2 hours later he now has the barfs…oh
joy
