Adventures du jour
Jun. 17th, 2004 07:35 pmToday was quite the day for adventures. To wit:
1) The trip to Magic Forest with Abbey's first-grade class. I'll do a full write-up of that later; suffice it to say, though, that I survived, albeit with eardrums and digestive tract somewhat the worse for wear.
2) A random drive with the kids into the middle of nowhere, much of which both young'uns slept through. They were awake for the following exchange, though:

rafaela: [mentions my full name, including my middle name, Dietrich]
Abbey: Dietrich?!
Me: Yes. That's really my middle name.
Abbey: What about "Trouble"?
3) A stroll down to the dock on Lake George, where a naked young man was being hauled out of the water by three of his friends. He'd dived in to try to retrieve his belongings from the icy deep, because, as he told us, "I gave everything I had in my pockets to my friend last night so they wouldn't get ruined while I was swimming, and I was drunk enough that later on, I threw him in." He was having trouble fishing for it all, though, because he smokes too much narcotics. Upon mentioning both this detail and the presence of a hookah in his car, he and his cronies toddled off to get herbally enhanced. (Yes, this was all after we'd dropped off the kids at home.)
4) My final revenge for any griefrafaela ever gave me for this incident: we picked up a pair of hopelessly cute 19-year-old Russian fellows who were hitchhiking from Lake George to Glens Falls who happened to be identical twins. Poor, poor Anna. When they mentioned in halting English that they were engineering students, I had to bite my lip. Hard.
If you'll pardon me now, There is a very sad hedgehog in the bedroom right now who needs to be a happy hedgehog. Must attend...
