A Pretty Good Day

Well, is rolling to a close and that coincided with Stu's closing out his summer class. So, to celebrate I asked Stu if he wanted to see a movie once he came home from his exam and after I prepared dinner (Chicken Shawarma and a Bulgar Wheat, Edamame and Cherry Tomato salad). So Stu and I headed off and saw Harry Potter.

At Harry Potter we were the only people there except a father/daughter couple. Stu and I had fun making fun of the movie. Midway through the movie my phone rang. It was a scouting friend and I got rid of him by telling him I was at a movie. I used to find days I could come home early and go to movies with Stu. It is always a fun time and we get to regress to father and son (except now the snarky movie comments flow both ways).

Pat loved dinner. I told her that we were having broiled scallops but I outsourced the meal and it came back as Chicken Shawarma, an Indian dish. These are high vegetable, low fat meals that are new and different to make and eat.

Ron Cady called back to let me know that I was selected as a Silver Beaver by the Connecticut Rivers Council (Boy Scouts). I felt bad that I had not called him back. He let me know that I'll have to get my photo taken and attend a dinner. Pat, who avoids scout dinners like the plague, has indicated that she wants to attend this one. The funniest thing is that I get to review the information on the application prior to the award. I hope some of it is true.
