Return of the Fat Bastard - Ballet in the land of plaid.

June 11th 2016


      9 a.m. Found us Back in the restaurant at the  semi luxurious Carmel Inn. With the $4 coupon for staying at the semi luxurious Carmel Inn I had the eggs Benny for $4.95 they were pretty good. I ordered them soft but they were pretty solid. I considered, briefly, sending it back but I was starving!

Eggs Benny for Squatchy

If you believe a 300 lb man could starve overnight perhaps I have some low mileage exercise equipment you may be interested in.
      Dr Dan bought us tickets for Julia' s ballet recital. We were told to meet him at the Prince George Secondary School at 10:30. We showed up at 10:15 and the joint was packed. Evidently Dr Dan gave us the wrong time. The show started at 10.00. We we!e there in time to see Julia and her classmates do their thing. Unfortunately our camera wasn't. Okay. the lovely Lisa had the camera I gave her at the semi luxurious Carmel Inn. Pretty much a paper weight without a card in it. And who's fault is it? Yours! I download the photos everyday so I can use them in my humble efforts to inform and entertain you the obviously incredibly bored eleven people who read this blog. I hold each and everyone of you personally responsible for me not putting the card back in the camera.
      But wait! It gets better.  We were in our seats and watching the other dance groups.By the way the dancers were all excellent. The little ones were so cute and the older ones could really dance. Yet I digress. This is when the lovely Lisa informed me that the camera was useless with a glare that caused my genitals to shrivel. " No problem Hon, I'll record it with my phone"
Shortly thereafter Julia's troupe was introduced They are the Ballet Mini's. I turned on my phone turned on the camera and it said cannot connect to camera.It's happened before so I knew what to do. Turn off the phone then turn it back on. As Julia and her pink clad gang of unbelievably cute Ballerinas entered stage right. I waited, As Julia and her pink clad gang of unbelievably cute Ballerinas went through their routine, I waited, As Julia and her pink clad gang of unbelievably cute Ballerinas spun around all at different times and speeds and some times not at all....Hey lighten up the kids are 4 years old! Finally my camera was functioning. I recorded 40 seconds at the end of the show.

Number 2 on my oops list. At intermission we walked out into the lobby to find Ryland and Avery waiting to go to breakfast with the lovely Lisa and I.Just as we had arranged the night before. Totally forgot and we had just come from breakfast. They had to be back at Avery's house by noon for the party her parents, Rod and Angela were throwing for them and it was already 11:15. There was a half hour wait at Dennys so we moved on down to the Camelot Motel Restaurant. In a strange moment of Deja vu I stayed at the Camelot years ago when I was doing standup. My joke on stage was " I'd like to thank the management for the wonderful accommodation . What's that place called The "Come a lot? Are you renting the place by the hour?" Huh? Funny or what?
      I had coffee because I just had breakfast. The lovely Lisa had a piece of cherry pie, Ryland  had a waffle and Avery had a vegetarian omelet. She's planning on going Vegan before they go to Australia in November. I told her not to let the Aussies know she's Vegan They eat them there! "Alright  Mate throw another Vegan on the Barbie" I swear I sounded just like Crocodile Dundee! We drove them home just minutes before 12 and took off to meet Dr Dan before returning for the party.
      We met Dr Dan at a Starbucks for a coffee before we went to the party. When we got there we saw that Angela had gone nuts with the food.

There was a big crowd probably 40 people not counting the 10 or saw prepubescent Banshees! Of course Julia was one of them. Her dolls name is Baby Jesus. I thought he'd be taller!

Julia and the Baby Jesus

It was a really good party. Lot's of interesting people. Lots of good food. A pool table in the rec room and a couple of guitars. Oh yeah, they also have an animal that creeped me out! The freakin thing looks like Gollum!

Hairless Rat Tailed Gollum Cat

We got to spend a lot of time with Ryland and Avery and Auntie Lisa got to play with Julia.

Auntie Lisa and Julia

      I Played a couple of games of pool and a few tunes on the guitar with Doug Who is the father of either Rod or Angela I forget or perhaps I never knew. Doug started playing a year ago when he retired. He's still learning his way around the guitar. I think He'll be good some day because he has passion and desire and he's a nice guy. The time just flew by. Next thing you know it's 8 and we have put in a full shift.
      We headed back to the place where Dr Dan is staying which is also the house he just bought. We met his pal Perry and his wife who's name I can't remember and the lovely Lisa is asleep and I don't want to wake her because she will punch me in the throat. They have 2 dogs and 2 cats...all of them have hair. Perry is a 26 year member of the RCMP and a well informed and intelligent guy. The house is beautiful and he did all the work. He says he's ADD and a little OCD it shows in his work. His wife ....let's call her Madam X talked about training for their Dog Mars who goes ballistic with excitement every time you move and is going to Doggy Training on Monday.

Mars and Madam X

Another good day in Prince George spent with family and new friends.

That's all I've got
Till next time
Peace Out Y'all
