The boys asked me for a theme night. They’ve fallen into such things lately. They’ve been exposed to Harry Potter night (complete with a homegrown tri-wizard tourney) and Dragon Ball Z night (with an outdoor movie-style projection and associated gameplay). Now they feel the Need for Speed.
Race car night is set to happen this Saturday, the day before the older two take the court in Suns Arena for their final basketball game of the season and one week before the AYF Tackle Football season gets underway. In sum, this is our last gasp of a summer vacation-esque weekend. The festivities will include a first look at the Rocket League racing/automobile-soccer game and an epic hot wheels racing extravaganza throughout the house.
Now all I gotta figure out is what to feed them. I mean, what do racers eat? They never actually make a big deal of such things on screen unless you’re counting Ricky Bobby…
Some Thoughts:
- I have been in programming hell for a few days now. It started with the effort to get the blog back to posting to facebook (not easy) after a brief flirtation with cancelling facebook. Seriously, reactivating after deactivating facebook is harder and more cumbersome than getting a new credit card number after a hack. Of course, nobody knew I was gone, so there’s that.
- Then I tried to update another site I run and that whole thing collapsed and shattered in dramatic fashion. 40 bucks later I’m still picking up the digital debris.
- On a positive note, this one ought to publish to the book of many faces. Let me know if it did, okay?
