Dog and Chicken Bones Don't Mix

Ah vacation, I had the afternoon off from work and was going to work on a new kind of fried food at home. So caught up in cooking thoughts was I that I didn't notice my boy on the couch or the issue. Pretty soon I heard the old familiar "Daaad". I see Gunnar stretched out on the love seat with his reading glasses on, engrossed in his reading. While still reading he stretches out his arm and points to the floor. Ya so what, a dark towel on the floor or wait.... Its black diarrhea from the dog in a 3' diameter pile. His response to my WTF" was "oh and there is some more on the stairs and by the downstairs." The stench was over whelming so I still can't figure out how he could nonchalantly be sitting 3 feet from rotten, bloody gastric diarrhea without the dry heaves.

Somehow it seems all my adventures that start in a cooking bliss end up either in diarrhea or vomit. Now who would like some fried chili sticks? Sigh

Gunnar steals home and more

Gunnar was catching in the McPherson tournament against the Salina Irish. After a few catches I hear the familiar "Daaad" He calls me over to the fence as he mentions something about bathroom. Apparently the coaches wife overheard and seeing the squirming tells coach that Gunnar has to go. Coach asks Gunnar for everyone to hear. Gunnar squatted down warming up the pitcher quickly silence the bathroom comments with a quick wave of the hand. 10min later we are out of the inning but darn, Gunnar is on deck. Soon enough he is at the plate. First pitch low and outside but Gunnar takes aim and puts to right field for a easy single. First pitch on the next batter Gunnar is off on a steal to second with or without the coache's steal sign. Close call "Slide Gunnar Slide Gunnar" Now when he gets up there is a question of the stain on his behind side, whew, just dirt. Next batter first pitch Gunnar has stolen 3rd. Next batter Gunnar has to wait for 4 pitches before there is a passed ball to the backstop. Gunnar takes off toward home on a mission to steal home. No slowing down as he hits his peak speed crossing the plate as he heads toward the gate. With out breaking stride he swings open the gate then quickly rounds the fan stand, "Run Forest Run, er Gunnar run. He streaks off toward the restroom leaving fans in awe of the unusual steal home play.

Apparently diarrhea and catching did not go well together but all ended well as that could have been another story.
