Staggering Around on Father's Day!

Well, at least THIS year, you can blame the stiletto heels, right?!?

Well, I thought I'd make a happier, sillier caption for Fathers Day, unlike the heavy post I put up on Friday night. Thank you to those who don't mind me getting serious from time to time. Doing that ended up influencing this caption, believe it or not.

One year for our anniversary, we spent the day in Boston, doing some sightseeing, which was good, because she wasn't from the Mass area, and I hadn't seen much of the historic sites since I would go on field trips as a child. We each chose something that one of us wanted to do .. she chose looking at old fossils and bones at one of the college museums .. I chose the Sam Adams brewery.

By the way things turned out, we hit the brewery tour first .. at 9:30 AM! She enjoyed the tour part, as she was always interested in how things are made, and the history behind things (The other Sam Adams breweries all modify their water supplies to match those in the greater Boston areas reservoirs! So LOVE that dirty water!) Anway, after the tour, they do a taste testing, which is usually the standard brew, plus 2-3 other small run beers they make throughout the year. For instance, when we went, they had a Boston Marathon beer called 26.4 which is only served along the route of the actual marathon, and is only on tap.

So, long story short, the GF doesn't drink, so I ended up with her glasses, as well as mine. They give you a 8 or 10 oz glass especially designed for drinking beer, that you get to take home with you. That means I drank approximately 48 to 60 oz of beer in about 10 minutes at 10 AM!

Of course, in Boston, you take "The T" around the city .. aka the subway, but many parts are at street level or elevated. And I am pretty sloshed by the time we get to the museum exhibit of fossils and such. I was a strong drinker, so I am pretty good at navigating my way around, but she's holding my hand anyway, because .. she knows me pretty well, and doesn't want me to embarrass her any more than I usually do. Soooooooo, the guide is pointing out some things in the dinosaur skeletal remains room, and I see an exhibit that is being set up, and there is a glass cabinet with nothing inside.

You know my sense of humor. Any idea what my quip was? If you bet on, "Hey look. It's an ancestor of the boneless chicken!" then you win, my friends! Immediately after that, I was pulled out of the museum, and had our planned picnic on the campus grounds in the grass. Well, a few of the kids in a group on a field trip thought it was quite amusing!

There we go. I brought this story full circle!

I remembered that, and thought back to how dads in my family tended to want a Fathers Day where they could just drink beer and burn animal flesh for family consumption .. just the way God intended it to be! So please enjoy this blog exclusive and comment below. And Happy Fathers Day to anyone with current or former rugrats under their supervision! You earned that day in heels and makeup!

What could be more Boston than The Dropkick Murphys singing Dirty Water? Old-time racism? Yeah, well that too, but nowadays, its The Dropkick Murphys singing Dirty Water!
