Nice invite . . .

Middle child called yesterday and invited me to lunch at the Mohegan Sun. P&D's Pop wanted to stay home and paint while out was out of the house so I was off on my own! Parked in the old UNC parking lot and met Kiddo and his Mom at the bottom of the escalator. We walked right smack through the whole Casino, clear to the opposite end and Margaritaville had a grill problem! So we backtracked and ate at Kiddo's favorite, Bobby's Burger Palace. It was very good and fun to see the kids together having a good time! There was one bad note though. Middle child told me that Kiddo's older brother was going back to work after lunch at McD's on Route 12 the day before yesterday when his friend driving a Chevy Malibu, were stopped to make the left turn to Cardinal Honda and were rear ended by a twenty-five year old lady in an Audi who was texting and hit them without even slowing down. Both kids were brought to the hospital and sent home with Valium and other pain pills for whip lash. Incredibly eye witnesses say she never even put on her brakes. The seat backs in the Malibu broke and her hood was bent up. Hope the kids don't have too many residual problems. Kiddo's brother is twenty years old today. Scary idiots out there still using their damn toys while driving. I'd go after her big time. That is just callous, self-centered, stupidity.

Grampa invited me to go see the last of the Hobbit movies. Must admit I like them. Then we stopped at New York Pizza for lunch. I watched UCONN Men lose in overtime to Temple and I quit watching the Women's game against East Carolina because it was ridiculous. It's not good for the Women to have to play so far below their station.

Well I guess those are the last complaints of 2014. On a plus note I received at least three singing Birthday calls. What a hoot!
