Last night we went to the Barton Hills Extravaganza and I told my 4 year old he could eat whatever he wanted, as much as he wanted, as long as he stayed for the fireworks and didn't chicken out.
He had a hotdog for the main course, followed by approximatley 7-9 blue snow cones and 7 push-up popsciles (also blue).
When he went poop today, he had blue poop. I've never seen blue poop before.
Note: he did stay up for the whole firework show, unlike last year.

Observations of Pool Bathrooms
You know when you go into a pool bathroom and the floor is all wet from people dripping from their wet suits? And you step up into the urinal only to be standing in 'water' and you're not sure if you're standing in a puddle of piss or not?
yeah, it sucks. I am convinced that I am standing in a puddle of pee.
Everytime we go to the pool, my 4 year old has to go #2. With out fail! just like when we go to Busch's. You just count on it.
But when it happens, you are still upset because you hoped he wouldn't have to go this time.
So it is even worse in the stall. It's wet, stinky, and just all-around bad. My son can't wipe his own ass yet, so I have to help him and he doens't understand the filth...yeah, it just bad.

Uverse Update
I am very pleased with Uverse since we increased our internet speed from 1.5 MBS to 18 MBS. The internet is obviously faster, and I am taking full advantage of the free HBO.
The biggest difference, though, is with Apple TV. Before, it was taking 4-24 hours to download a rented movie from Apple TV. It litteraly wouldn't even let you start watching the movie until it was mostly downloaded, which as noted, took hours. Now I can rent a movie, and watch it immediately. Prior to this I was convinced Apple TV was a shit product. Why would I pay to rent a movie and wait so long? I could rent a movie from Uverse and start watching it right away, same with Netflix streaming. But now I understand to download a 1080 movie you simply need fast internet.
I was strongly considering going back to DirecTV or even testing out the dreaded Comast, but for now I am happy with Uverse.
In addition, the idea of a wireless TV received is incredible. Why was this feature not available years ago?

HBO Documentary on 41
My recent HBO binge continues...
They have a doc on George H.W. Bush, our 41st president. This guy, when you think about it, has a highly decorated family and life. His dad was a Senator, he was a Representative, then Ambassador to China, then head of CIA, then Vice President, and President. Not to mention when growing up, he went to Yale and was Captain of the baseball team, and before that, a pilot in the south Pacific in WWII and was shot down and rescued by a sub at sea.
Finally, his son was Governor and President, and Jeb was Governor.
Not a bad life. He says his only regret is his father did not live to see him as President.
Not to mention, he lives in Maine, here:
Surrounded by the Atlantic on three sides.
One more point:
Our last three presidents, including his son, never truly served in the military and in my opinion, do not have the type of resume 41 has. Each was a Governor or Senator, but it still not the same.

This Year's Trees
I put up a pic earlier of the new trees we put in this year. Recent evening projects include watering them heavily to make sure they take as well as because of the recent 90+ degree weather we've had tirelessly.
Jack is a good helper when it comes to watering.
