WUAB

We had a fantastic play date today. I say 'we' because the girls had fun, and the mom who had the girls over is AWESOME so I hung out with her and laughed all day.

At one point all of the kids wanted to go outside to play, and E really just wanted to stay in and watch TV. Did I mention this is the first fully awesome day we've had in, oh, 6 months? So at first I was mortified, but then the Mom and I admitted that we were both that kid when we were growing up and we turned out fine.

Games shows all morning, soaps all afternoon.  And WUAB, channel 20!  Rocky & Bullwinkle, Leave It to Beaver, I think The Andy Griffith Show was in there, too. Super Host! Laverne & Shirley reruns! That's probably also where we saw Good Times and What's Happening? Thank God we had the 'brown box' converter! And J across the street had a weird one that wasn't brown, and you had to slide the thing along to change the channels. (As opposed to the brown box's futuristic buttons that stayed down until you pressed another button...)

Anyhow, it was a lovely way to spend the day, especially if the Rapture really is going to happen in 45 minutes. Although unfortunately E ended the visit by farting--repeatedly and with intent--at one of her hosts. So that'll be a nice memory for all of us cherish in the hereafter.
