Just back from our annual Dads ‘shopping night’ .. It’s a 25 year tradition that started as part of our dads group.. The group was created for us by one of the wives of our memebers who thought it would be good for all of us dads to have soemthign to do…

 

For many years we’d all meet in burlignton and shop for our wives.. then eventually end up at the daily planet for dinner and beers.. then we started meeting for dinner first.. and the more hardy of us would ventture out for shopping.. the shopping part got later and later.. and fewer of us whnt.. untill we gave u the subtrifuge of shopping altogether… ..  Now we meet at the public house in Hinesburgh.

 

we had a full house tonight… .. it was great catching up with everyone.. we talked families travel, jobs and (of course) politics… i love these guys

I love this tradition….

 

quick change of  topic…

I’d like to ask your help in somethings. My friends Earnestine and Leo are two young teachers in Greenville Mississippi are trying to raise money for their students to participate in FIRST robotics this year. They participated last year and their students got so much out of it. I’m trying to help them with their fundraising via a Kickstarter campaign. Please take a look and support them if you can. THey are a 501(c)3 so any donation is tax deductible.
