    !. Took the lid off of the Jeep and ran our weekly errands. Sun and wind.

    2. Raided the catnip patch in the garden. The cats were drunker than one ANSI standard boiled owl.

    3. Went busking at a restaurant, last evening. Three hours of music and fun.

    What?!? 10 months go by and nobody has a good day around here?

    Thread Resurrection:

    1) My Mother's Day Olive tree has dozens of teeny olives on it.

    2) Watching 2 Mexican tattoo artists decorate their father's coffin with silver magic markers.

    3) Pineapple-Coconut popsicles from the street vendor.

    Thread once again thriving.

    1) Walking downtown to church with my spouse and child, instead of the standard boring drive

    2) Enjoying coldbrew coffee at a local cafe

    3) Spending hours writing with a fountain pen, thinking about self-improvement.

    1) Attending a Memorial Day service where my wife sang the National Anthem and God Bless America that she has done for many years. Veterans Day also.
    2) Took the dogs for a walk.
    3) Cooked NY Strip Steaks on the grill (1 1/2" thick).

    I also cut the grass but that doesn't count even though it was a good thing.

    1. Put on the old Army uniform and rode in the rumble seat of a 1931 Model A Ford and threw candy to kids in a Memorial Day parade,

    2. Attended a contest for restored autos.

    3. Cooked burgers and veggie skewers on the grill. Drank IPA and listened to the flickers giggle.

    Well, if anyone else but you said #3, I'd think it was a bad thing.

    I'm really glad Mycroft's okay and that your son's cursive is coming along well.

    2. I got through my first kettlebell/weights HIIT workout without stopping.
    3. I had the best nap ever after it.

    Yep. It was a tiny baby rattler, but the little beggar hung on (I'm told that's normal for baby snakes). Mycroft panicked so I stomped it to pieces wearing my dressy sandals. This was ill-advised, according to native Texans, but this is my DOG we're talking about!

    1) Finally got my treadmill delivered after multiple delays

    2) Found out grad school is only 4.5 years, not 6.

    3) Thanks to the aforementioned treadmill, finally hit 20,000 steps in a day.
