Been up to Boston the past few days where eldest daughter Shana did her senior recital, part of the graduation requirements for Berklee College of Music where she attends. Audience included family, friends, and even her boss from Comicopia where she works on Tuesdays. She sang mostly original tunes; she’s developed into quite a sharp song writer. The triumphant set was followed by a pizza party at her apartment.
We then stopped off in Connecticut on the way back to visit with my sister, Beth, her husband Rande, and their kids Sara and newborn Emma, whom we were meeting for the first time. She bore a striking resemblance to Caroline. We hung out, chatted, and were tormented with curious television choices, such as Rande and Kathleen watching a DVD of the Rankin-Bass “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” while Beth and I begged for it to stop. We also watched some rodeo on TV with cowboys riding on bulls. Whereupon I was informed that the reason the bulls buck so much is that there’s a tight rope yanking on their privates that they’re trying to throw off. Is that true? If it is, am I the only person in the world who didn’t know this?
