Father's Day 2006

A great Father's Day weekend for fun, a bittersweet (read:awful) one for sports. My son and I had an excellent time this weekend. Saturday was just a perfect day. After breakfast we headed out to a small park and ran around a bit. Went home and had lunch and awiated my friend's arrival- Jen is so sweet- met my boy for the first time and brought him a Spider-Man kickball. Went over to the Great Lawn and kicked the ball around, threw (unsuccessfully) a boomerang--it never came back to us, and just ran around. Headed home after about two hours, stopping at Pintiale's for a few slices-superb pizza, BTW-and put the boy in for a nap as we relaxed.
Then the sports: USA v. Italy 1-1 tie- MAN! The refs were just awful! We won that game. Yankess go up 9-2 on the Nationals and lose 11-9. Ok, fast-forward to Sunday and Phil Mickelson who I really like blows it on the last hole, losing the US Open, as do the Yankees when Wang's bid at a CG win fades real fast when Zimmerman hits a two-run bomb shot in the bottom of the ninth- walk-off!

Oh well, sports were bad but spending time with Jen and Kieran was lovely. BTW, I saw Mel Brooks in CVS when I was buying water and asprin. We also went to see Cars, which was pretty good- not close to Incredibles, Finding Nemo though. It's hard to top those...
