Rain Check, Please

What do you do when spring sports get rained out for the evening? Go out to dinner!

Figured we take advantage of a free night to catch up with our nephew Tony over a good meal. I went directly from work and met the guys at the Water Street Grille in Stevens Point. Pretty tasty. We all had something different – Jim jambalaya shrimp, Tony stuffed chicken breast, Carter pulled pork, me Cajun fish of some sort. Quite the variety!

Not sure how the rest of the week will shake out, weather wise. Depends on which forecast you believe. Regional playoffs for softball start Wednesday and for baseball start Thursday. Of course, even if doesn't rain, there'll be some tears flowing. A couple of our friends are coping with the graduation of their oldest children this weekend. I remember our boy's "final" week well. Finals, baccalaureate, practice, pomp and circumstance. Steady rain of tears throughout.

By Mom, not him.

Now he's home for the summer and – assuming he passed all his finals with flying colors – we can consider him a junior in college. Yikes.

Can I take a rain check on this aging business?

Check, please!
