Monster

I drew today during a workout, while Chumble looked on...

Hogwarts Visits

Time to reread the "Harry Potter" novels! I read them for the first time back in July/August of 2008, so I try to revisit them over the same time period each time I return. The last time was July/August of 2014. I finished "The Sorceror's Stone" a week ago, and just closed "The Chamber of Secrets" today...

UpChumble

Poor kitty couldn't keep his food down yesterday, and I couldn't figure out why. He barfed up breakfast, and then threw up 3 more times, including the treats I gave him after the initial vomit.

Luckily, it was my day off so I could be around for him the whole time, and after sleeping all day, he ate supper just fine. And his meals today as well. I think he ate a bug, or just ate ridiculously fast.

Spider-Man

I saw "Spider-Man: Homecoming" tonight with Jason & his crew, Sarah & hers (minus Hayden), Holly & hers (minus Kevin), and Ma. Thanks J!

What a great movie! So much humor, cool action, and many MCU tie-ins. There were a few minor things I didn't care for, but they aren't even worth mentioning.

After the movie, J & Stacie & Cooper & I stopped at Kay's for ice cream. I haven't been there in a decade or so.

I hung around Dad & Ma's with them until they headed back to Worcester, and then off to Florida for a week with Stacie's family. I always hate it when they leave, but it's always great to see them when they are here...

Independence Day

I had to work 7:30 to noon, but it flew by. I hung out at home and reenergized for the family reunion down at the lake.

Cooper, Drew, Jared, Sawyer, Hayden.
Jackie, Georgia, Helena, Ryan, Celia.

In attendance (besides The Morris 6 and spouses/spawn):

• Uncle Martin, Aunt Kathy, and Dan & his wife
• Jean Marie & Judy
• Aunt June, Ginny & her new baby
• Uncle Tim & Aunt Debbie
• Wendy & Ted
• Jon's mom & her hubby, and Jehn
• Hayden's girlfriend Audrey, plus a bunch of his sisters' friends

I stayed from 3 pm to 6 pm, then fatigue sent me packing. It was a nice day, if a bit too crowded for my taste...

Me, Jason, Sarah, Ma, Dad, Kevin
