Dunkirk NY – Everybody has arrived safe and sound. Right now they are all playing a game of Clue while I am in the back room icing my knee, which gives me a moment to get in this post. No doubt the last few days of writing a post a day will contain some very short entries.
Today was a rather lazy day all told. It was windy and rainy, and so we spent a good deal of the day indoors. My middle son and I watched about three hours of cricket. The game has become a new way for us to connect, which is good. He’s always been a little envious of the way my youngest son and I connect about baseball. I have found cricket to be an entertaining way to pass the time, actually. I’ve now gotten a taste of all four types of cricket (T10, T20, ODI, and test), and they all have their good points. I already have a notion of going to England and attending a bunch of matches. I think it would make an unusual and interesting vacation. It also gives me more incentive to get to New Zealand and Australia to see cricket there. I wish, when I was in India, I had known more about the game, because India is a pretty cricket-mad country.
We enjoyed some pea soup for dinner. My youngest son took one of my best beers – a Sam Smith Nut Brown Ale – instead of the IPAs I had for him. I’m sipping an egg nog and Bailey’s. Tomorrow will be busy with preparing the Thanksgiving meal. Life is pretty good at the moment. -twl
