Sunday at Dad's

SO OF COURSE YESTERDAY WAS SUNDAY,
AND I SPENT  IT OUT AT DAD'S HOUSE.
WE'RE ON AN EVERY-OTHER-SUNDAY ROUTINE.
I USUALLY BUS OUT TO HIS HOUSE
RATHER THAN DRIVE WHICH:

A) ALLOWS ME TO DRINK AND

B) SAVES ME GAS $ SINCE I ALREADY HAVE
A BUS PASS TO GET TO WORK.
(PARKING AT UA IS A NIGHTMARE.)

PLUS I LIKE RIDING THE BUS.
YOU DON'T GET TO SEE SHIT LIKE THAT
ANYWHERE ELSE.

YESTERDAY THE MAN I REFER TO AS
"GLOVE GUY" RODE THE BUS WITH ME.
HE WEARS WHITE GLOVES 
LIKE MICKEY MOUSE.
I THINK HE'S A GERMAPHOBE, 
AND I LOVE HIS STYLE.

DAD ALWAYS HAS APPETIZERS OUT WHEN
I ARRIVE.  I THOUGHT THIS ONE
FROM YESTERDAY WAS
PARTICULARLY CUTE.

I LOVE THE FANCY TOOTHPICKS.
A MAN OF MY HEART.

AND THEN DAD GRILLED OUTSIDE.
I TOOK A PICTURE FOR BUNNY BANANA 
OF HIS HOMEMADE PIGEON SCARECROW, 
I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT???
IT REMINDED ME OF THIS ONE TIME WHEN
I WENT OVER TO DAD'S AND HIS GARAGE
HAD MULTIPLE CDS DANGLING FROM IT,
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SO STYLISH, 
TOTALLY SOMETHING I WOULD DO, BUT
IT TURNED OUT HE WAS DEFLECTING PIGEONS.
WAA WAA.

DAD'S BEEN A MASTER GRILLER LATELY.
HE'S BEEN FOLLOWING RECIPES
BY STEVEN RAICHLEN FROM PBS.
THEY HAVE ALL BEEN AMAZING SO FAR.

SLABS OF MEAT ARE DEFINITELY A DUDE THING.
BUT IT LOOKED GREAT ON A PLATE!


AND OF COURSE DAD IS A CLASSY MAN,
A MAN OF VALET AND COURSES, 
SO THERE WAS DESSERT TOO:
LOTS OF FOOD!
THE HOWARD FAMILY WAY!
GRANDMA WOULD BE PROUD!

AND THEN I TOOK OFF ON MY BUS HOME!
 THE GOOD 'OL DIAGONAL 17.  ACROSS TOWN,
ONE BUS, NO TRANSFERS.  WHAT EV!
I WEAR MY SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT.
DON'T MASQUERADE WITH THE GUY IN SHADES.
