At breakfast this morning I sat two tables away from Miss Rodeo Wisconsin.\u00a0 I know this because she had a big sash on that said so.\u00a0 She looked like a wholesome gal and a good choice.<\/p>\n
I’m not at the Doubletree.\u00a0 Instead, I learned my reservation was for the Courtyard Marriot.\u00a0 I did this back in August of aught 9 so the details had become fuzzy.\u00a0 Oh, well.\u00a0 I gotta get on the road more.<\/p>\n
The love of small children is a gift freely given, honoring this gift may be the prime directive of adulthood.\u00a0 Ruthie, after an initial hesitance, was glad Granpop had come.\u00a0 She spent a good bit of time running, then jumping on me, sometimes asking me to close my eyes.\u00a0 Then she jumped as a surprise.<\/p>\n
She also showed a me a move she learned at dance class.\u00a0 This consists of a left hand on hip, the right raised in the air and loping around the house like that.\u00a0 When asked what it was called, she said, “Horse.”<\/p>\n

Gabe has a few words now, one of which sounds a lot like granpop.\u00a0 or, maybe, blastoff.\u00a0 or, maybe bad dog.\u00a0 something like that.<\/p>\n
The stone porch Jon and Jen created looks spiffy, too.\u00a0 I hadn’t seen it.<\/p>\n
Stock show later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
