This year's March 17th weather was sunny and warm (in the mid 60s) which made for an even more amazing day. My plan was to come downtown at 2 when the kids go down for their nap. That morning, Brayden was a mess. Crying and crying, telling me his ear hurt. He has tubes in his ears, and he's on an antibiotic already for prevention of Curran's pneumonia. So I knew it couldn't be a typical ear infection. Then I looked at his ear and there was fluid leaking out of it! So I called the pediatrician and they asked me to bring him in at 1:45. Turns out he has a puss pocket in his ear on the outside of the tube. Apparently this is from getting water in his ears. We try as hard as we can to be careful, but I guess some water must have gotten in. We pumped him full of motrin and Dr. Ghazoul prescribed him ear drops to treat the sore. Poor dude.
So I took him home, put him down for his nap and my day began. I made my way downtown to meet up with big Mol. She, of course, was not answering her phone, so I didn't know where to park. I finally got her on the phone and found out the place to be was Panini's. Then it was on. I started the onslaught and drank several Miller Lite tallboys way too fast.
A summary of the next couple of hours follows: I fell, I made friends with some people from Sandusky, I dropped my cell phone in the toilet, I lost my friends, I took a nap in the bathroom, I was found by a very nice girl who put into a cab and sent home, I left my broken cell phone in the cab.
Yea, it was not one of my better evenings. I was home by 8:30. I also left my car parked on E9th Street and knew there was a good chance it could of been towed the next day. The cops must have been busy with other drunken criminals because my car was there when Steve took me downtown the next morning. I had the mental capacity of a staple gun at work yesterday.
But it was a great day. So many people downtown, so many happy people!
I know I didn't post any pictures, and I apologize. But I was not about to take my camera downtown on this particular day. You read what happened to my cell phone.

I found one pic that captures the madness. The kid on the right is my best freind from high school's little brother. He was like 5 the last time I saw him. This was very late into my afternoon/evening and I am not sure whose glasses those are.
I really love how you made up for the past two years. Nicely done Mary, nicely done. reminds me of a certain McDonald Investments party+cosmos-purse+some dude's coat-keys= sleeping on bathroom floor and splainin to do.
