A lotta distractions
The weekend wasn’t bad. Had a lotta distractions to keep the kid – and myself – busy.
The Firecracker’s dad’s in town so the Firecracker mainly spent time with him, which was good so I could focus on the kid.
The kid mainly did his own thing on Saturday but my college buddy, Ricky stopped by late at night to catch up after meeting up with our buddy, Ox, around the way.
Rick and I are probably the most athletic guys from our group of friends but that means that he’s got back issues too.
Me: I’m walking around most days at a 2-3; it jumps up to a 5-6 when it rains though.
Him: I’d kill for a 2-3. I’m walking around most days at a 7.
Me: Jesus Christ, how do you manage that?
Evidently, just like I did when I went to see Bryson and the Frenchman – case-in-point: Like me, he just lay down on my floor as we caught up.
Similar to that time where we randomly met him on his roof, the Firecracker and I agree that random meetups with good friends are the best.
Then, on Sunday, the kid and I woke up bright and early to head down the greenway on my scooter and get carbs in Chinatown.
There were a lotta carbs – scallion pancakes and fried dumplings – to be had before we headed back uptown.
Then we hightailed it back to catch the train to go see my mom and my sis.
The kid got to play with his cousins; I even hopped on the bike and rode with them to the local grade school for them to play for a bit.
While we were gone, my mom made dinner for us all; she didn’t know the Firecracker wasn’t going to be there, so she made the Firecracker’s fave dishes.
Me: Mom! It’s Mother’s Day. I wanted to take you out or at least bring food for you.
Her: (shrugging) It’s fine. I wanted to cook for you all.
That’s my mom.
Afterward, the kid and I went home and met up with the Firecracker, who was hanging with her family the whole weekend.
Another Mother’s Day Weekend/Alison’s Birthday, done.
Just have to get through the next few weeks and I won’t have to think about May again for a whole year.
Location: 6PM, picking the kid up late from school
Mood: damp
Music: open the door. Oh, it’s my love (Spotify)

Hey Logan,
I used to follow your blog but noticed I was unsubscribed. Possibly around the time the site was hacked. I’ve been trying to resubscribe, but I keep getting an error: “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.” Just wanted to flag it in case it’s still an issue.
Whoa! I had no idea, let me do a little digging – thanks so much for telling me!
