I didn&#8217;t think anyone would keep looking at the blog while it was neglected and frankly I got so used to lots of visitors I really didn&#8217;t want to see the stats shrink. Well the critical stat has held up amazingly well. In September so far I&#8217;m averaging 202 visits a day despite three solid weeks of nada.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got lots to blog about and I&#8217;m father behind than ever so there will be a fair amount to look forward to but my faithful friends may have to wait till after the weekend. After a busy day my wife and I got the brilliant idea of taking our little Tan Man to the movie based on the book Claudia bought for him a few weeks ago, &#8220;Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.&#8221; It was a movie my book jacket would have felt at home watching.<\/p>\n<p>It was our little guy&#8217;s first movie in a theater. He sat through it wide eyed. There will be more movies in his future. I think we will go on a picnic in a state park tomorrow. Two weeks ago it was Gooseberry Falls so we will strike out in a different direction tomorrow. I&#8217;m sure glad summer finally decided to make an appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; even if you don&#8217;t play ball.
