The good:

• Monday night I made it to Loring Park to see Low (though the guys declined to join me).
• Yesterday we had a playdate at Brackett Park. It was lovely, even if the little man was a bit on the tired side. Dinner seemed to reinvigorate him so our little family unit went for a walk down to the neighborhood library. All in all a good day.
• Next month I plan to take the lad to Seattle. The husband may or may not join us. More on that to come.

The bad:

• Last week and over the weekend something was off - and I punked out on every single happening I planned to attend. Bad Sharyn. Bad.
• The husband’s luggage still hasn’t turned up. He’s supposed to call back tomorrow or Friday and will likely have forms to fill out. The filling-out-forms phase generally means all hope is lost.

The ugly:

• My ragweed allergies have kicked in full force and I now have fluid in my ears. This is a first. And a small taste of what it must have felt like for the little man, before he had tubes installed.
• Tomorrow I’m going to the State Fair, to see The Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth. A hard rain is supposed to fall. All afternoon and evening. Naturally the show is outdoors. Sigh.

Bonus: I love Tony Jaa. Sure, The Protector, looks to have a very similar plotline as Ong-Bak, but that’s not what it’s about. I will happily shell out money to watch that man’s Muay Thai and acrobatics on the big screen.
Plus: Man, everything is finding its way to YouTube these days. I remember being fascinated by the crayon-making process when I was a kid. To no one’s surprise, I still am.
