Emo Backwards

Today is Friday. Karl usually goes out to lunch on Fridays so I figured when my friend called it was also okay for me to go out again. We went to the sushi restaurant. You might think sushi is risky in a tiny town too far from the coast but it is actually quite good. Sushi has become so mainstream that even truckers with those girls on their mudflaps eat it. We had a good meal and we tried to solve the thieving in the locker room at the high school problem but of course we didn't. I maintain that we should expect and demand that people be honest and she maintains the kids should just lock their locker more carefully.

This morning Cooper crawled up on my chest for his morning nap. Tiny little cuddly dog has a way of endearing himself no matter what. They did get their long walks and they returned home safely. Now they are napping. Good dogs and children take naps when Mom is on the computer!

Of course Erik is in a band. As I was walking the dogs today I was thinking about that joke, "What do you get when you play a country song backwards..." So what do you get when you play an emo song backwards...Your Mom lets you stay in your room forever, all the girls in school love you, and Spanish doesn't suck.

Karl is going for a new biopsy of a new spot today. Always worrisome. I thought that was a great picture of Karl and my niece Lara so I included it in today's blog. Also the picture of Lara and Erik is good. On the last night we were at the lake Lara and Erik went fishing on the dock. Lara caught nine fish one after another. You always want Erik on your team when you are fishing. Erik has spent the last three summers teaching fishing camp at the nature center. He's very popular with the kids for good reason. When you click on the pictures they do get bigger and you can actually see them!
