A once-in-a-lifetime kind of evening…

We went out to see stand-up comedy, spur of the moment. The headliner was Marc Maron.

Interestingly, between the opening act and the headliner were two acts — where there usually is just one.

What made it a once-in-a-lifetime thing? Every act was strong. Honestly, there was no weak material. I’ve never had that happen before in my life.

Oh, and it’s too late. They’ve moved on.

Oh, and we got in under the wire.  No, they didn’t sell out, no SRO here.  I’m pointing out that in a few weeks I could have had to sit through Craig Shoemaker again.

Kite practice worked beautifully.

We took Grace to the park.  She chose to get dressed in her soccer uniform, and we brought the soccer ball to the park with us.

She spent plenty of time running around, and played much soccer with Daddy Cy as goalie.

Before leaving, she chose plenty of time to climb on the playscape.  Each time I reminded her that we needed to leave soon, we got negotiation to extend the time.

I’m sure she will be a fantastic negotiator when she grows up.  Sigh.

Go fly a kite

Something to remember — this is important!

The Zilker Kite Festival is coming on the 4th of March. It’s supposed to be windy and warm today, so I may try to take G out to practice locally.

And just how often do I remember to blog about things that are upcoming? How often do I remember about the kite thing before it happens?

This must be a daddy thing.

Then again, you must also remember to not use razor-sharp string.
