My grandparents each had a cousin who had married the other's (so they were the second generation with a Ransohoff/Westheimer marriage in it), and so a bunch of my cousins on that side of the family are both third and fourth cousins, or fourth and fifth, or fourth and fourth once removed, and so on It gets complicated.
ION, both kids are punchy as fuck because of the heat, and in a Daddy-only mood on top of it. Every time I get near one of them I hear "NO I WANT DADDY TO DO IT!" So I'm hiding out in the bedroom being unwanted.

Mine too. My grandmother's first cousin was married to my grandfather's aunt.

But that's where the A/C is, yes?
Aw yay for a pride service. And I'd want to go to Toronto too, their pride is awesome.
I don't wanna get up and face the day.
If you missed it yesterday like I did, President Obama's remarks on Trayvon Martin are really something special. [link]
I've already unfriended one twit on facebook over his "See, Obama is a racist and wants to oppress us poor, put-upon gunowning white men!" comments.

Our church has had a group in the Pride parade every year since the mid-90s. We have a pride service pretty often as well, but this year there's been an extra push from the wife of our new minister. At least 20 people have committed to marching, and more said they'd like to, but aren't sure. Since the entire congregation is only around 100, that's pretty good turnout!
Aside from the temperature, it's looking to be a great day so far. The papa alley cat is now waiting around for my approach (cat food in hand) in the mornings, my snapdragons are beginning to bloom, a sprig of basil I got from a co-worker has taken root, I found some tasty concord grapes for sale at the farmer's market, and Mom is going to take a break to come see
RED2
with me. (Our last mother-son movie was The Artist last February.)
If you have time, aurelia, and want to get together, let me know!
I will. I'm a little afraid that my father will have every day scheduled though.
Speaking of my father... It seems some ducks had a nest hidden near my parents house and the mama duck chose last weekend to march all the babies to the nearby lake. They had to cross a fairly busy street to get there so my dad went out and stopped traffic for them. How cute is that?
