January 12, 2015
I was up before the alarm and in the middle of making a cup of Joe when Papa Squatch Dayscare started. Like two tiny tornadoes, Bella and Christo came through the back door dropping hats, mitts, boots and coats wherever they landed. Bella went straight for Nutmeg and Christo pulled out the two string, pink guitar and started plunking on it. I went into my office to hide/work on yesterdays blog for the twenty minutes I had before I took Bella to school. They play pretty well together. Hardly ever trying to kill each other. It wasn't raining so we went to the school yard five minutes early so the kids could play in the playground. When the bell rang. Bella ran over and got in line with her classmates, waved and went into school. Christo was at the top of the slide with a gang of kids to young to go to school. He was six inches taller than any of them. I think he's going to be Squatch sized.
Back at Casa Lisa, I let him watch half a show, Huggymonster or something, while I worked on my blog. Thirty minutes later I'm taking him and the Rat dogs to preschool. I made a quick stop at Blue Mountain park to let the Rat dogs do their thing on my way home. I was finishing up yesterdays blog when I got a call from Barry "Mole Boy' Ho. He was going to be in the neighbourhood around lunch time and what was I up to? He was going to meet me at the house around 1:00. I finished up and posted my blog just in time to pick Christo up at preschool.
My plan was to go see Mama Lee, then do a lap of Como Lake with Christo and the Rat dogs.
Half the plan worked out. We went to the lake first so Mama Lee would have time to finish her lunch.
It took forty-five minutes to go once around the lake. I could drag myself around the lake with my tongue faster!
In Christo's defense, there were an inordinate number of exceptional throwing pebbles today. There were no fisherman today so he was allowed to throw the rocks off the dock.
He has worked through the spasmo throwing stage and now can throw reasonably straight. There were a lot of Rat dogs at the lake today. People let them off the leash to play and we did the dog park thing. What's it's name? How old is he? What breed is he? blah, blah, blah. Elvis started being a jerk. He's a cranky old man of thirteen and doesn't like to see anyone having fun. By the time we made it around the lake, I had to skid Mama Lee.
Mole Boy Ho was waiting in the yard when we got home from Como Lake, admiring the damage done by the critters eating the Chafer Beetle grubs.

Christo was hungry so we went to Red Star (Austin Diner) for lunch. It's chinese/ western style cafe. They have a large selection of chinese food as well as diner classics, ( Liver and onions anyone?) and all day breakfast. When we sat down the waitress asked why Christo wasn't in school. I told her he was only four. "He's so big" she said The apples don't fall far from the trees. Christo had a pancake and bacon, MB Ho had a Shanghai Noodle and I had Combo B, Chop suey, pork and chowmein.
Going to a Chinese restaurant with MB Ho is pretty cool. He looks like a Mexican drug dealer but he's actually Chinese/Italian.

That's a guy who knows his noodles! When MB Ho started talking to the waitress in Chinese she was stunned. As we were finishing our meal she came back with the other waitress. Probably to show her the Mexican who speaks Chinese. They got into a conversation in Chinese. They were all laughing so I assume MB Ho was slagging me in Chinese. That's what I'd be doing.
I got tired of typing Mole Boy so I shortened it to MB Ho, and then by chance, and bad typing skills, I reversed the letters. You can write your own BM Ho joke. I have a million of them.
MB Ho left about 4:00 I drove him down to the Skytrain and came home to watch the Raptors game. The lovely Lisa was home about 6:30 with a 4:30 a.m. call time. I whipped up our dinner, lamb, cabbage and spinach salad, potatoes for the lovely Lisa.
8:00 and the lovely Lisa was off to bed. I went down to the green room and did my workout. I am having a stair issue. So I didn't do my One Stair Steps. As I was doing my floor exercises the lovely Lisa came down stairs to tell me she had just been pulled two hours. She now had a 2:15 call time. That's a 1:45 wake up call. I rode the Iron Maiden through an episode of Lilyhammer.
Had a long hot shower and sat in front of the TV like a Zombie until chef Boy R Lisa got up for work.

That's all I've got
Till Next time
