So, it's kind of funny how you take simple things for granted. Like, for example, throwing a frisbee. How long have we been throwing frisbees? Madison wanted to toss one back and forth today in the front yard, which of course was a fun idea to do. Daddy went out there, and away we went! Only, Madison was gripping her frisbee entirely wrong. She had her four fingers on the top, and her thumb on the bottom. The end result was not much distance. So Daddy steps up, and shows her the proper way to throw a frisbee, and it's like night and day. She suddenly throws her frisbee with such speed, power and even accuracy.
This is why Daddy will be starting a new frisbee tossing school. We'll call it… wait for it… Frisbee Tossing School. Here, we'll learn some of the basics of throwing a frisbee. Things like this:
Yes, just ask my former student, Madison. Before, she was just a washed-up 'wanna-throw-a-frisbee' person. But now, she's an expert, whizzing frisbees great distances across the front yard, nearly taking Daddy's head off.
If you can't throw a frisbee worth a flip, then perhaps you should write us here. In about five minutes, I can give you access to a whole new world of frisbee-throwing power that you've never experienced before. All this and more awaits you at the Frisbee Tossing School. Write us for information today!
Meanwhile, we had a Monday where we slept in. Yep, that was worth writing about. We had more work towards Summer Xtreme, and we had some LEGO building to do as well. Daddy went and got a whole bunch more mulch too.
It was the first day of no school, the first Monday of summer. Appropriately enough, Madison has been into Phineas and Ferb lately. She was watching a bit of that today, while Daddy was doing a lot of writing for Summer Xtreme. Madison's chores involve watering the plants, but she hasn't had to do that too much lately - we've had so much rain. Don't mean to rub it in, California, but geesh. Rain, rain, rain, rain. Seriously, we wish things would move east to west, and make it over those mountains to you. Because we've had pretty much too much rain. We've had flash flooding, and regular flooding. Our ground is so saturated!
Today was saw "Tomorrowland" together at the theater. This required popcorn, of course. It also required "Tomorrowland" pin. Daddy ordered one of these for Madison, one that will join our growing Disney pin collection, of course. Daddy loves anything Brad Bird directs, but this one sort of fizzled towards the end. It was still a fun movie, extremely so at the beginning and middle. All the retro stuff was right up our alley. But it wasn't one of our favorites. We buy into the concept of Tomorrowland completely, about "feeding the right wolf" and so forth. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, and it is important to keep an optimistic spirit about things, and do something to make the world a better place. That's all Disney there, something channeled from the 50's and 60's as we were flying higher - even into space. Since then, the Space program is shut down for the most part, and we seem adrift in a bit of malaise. Hopefully that can change for us as a nation, because there IS a great big beautiful tomorrow. We cannot subscribe to doom and gloom.
Along those lines, we do have bad news to report regarding Uncle Dave. And it all ties in to the correct attitude about things. Of course, the facts are the facts. He's facing a worst case scenario if there ever was one. There is not much anyone can do but pray. Daddy will commit some time to writing something for him, for all of those who just like Mommy, were facing that worst case scenario. It's not much - and beyond prayer there isn't much I can do. But it's something, and that's where it starts. We all have to work together and make it brighter, and shine our light before everyone, so that they will see our good works and glorify God. We're praying Uncle Dave, just like we are each morning, and evening, and without ceasing. We're praying for you, that you can have a great big beautiful tomorrow.
