HG and I had a good day today. While he was reading the Sunday paper, I ran 3.14 miles. Afterward, I cooked us breakfast (eggs on English muffins) and then we got dressed to go shopping. We went to Cabelas. It was like going to an amusement park. The traffic was insane. The crowd was insane. And the merchandise was impressive. HG made me drive as he is trying to get me comfortable driving in traffic and on interstates. I made it just fine with the traffic.

I'm hoping to know something this week, but time will tell. Until next time...

After a few minutes of this, I did intervene. I told him to get in line. Take his turn, and when it was his turn he was to go. And the next time as other kids pushed past him, it only took a few...
