Not fair!

We don't do fairs. It's simply too risky for us to go since D's a runner. If I'm going to go to a fair/carnival/whatever, I want to be able to enjoy myself. I want to know that I can trust that my child won't run off and that I won't then be left searching for him for hours. No, it's not fair, but it is what it is. Fairs are just not part of our lives at this stage. They're entirely too overwhelming for D because of the sounds and sights. I loved fairs as a kid though. I'd go to the Monmouth County Fair every summer, sometimes the Ocean and Middlesex county fairs too. And Manalapan Day! The Optimists Club Carnival held near Freehold Raceway. Ah, memories!!!

Sporting...

I'm really not a big fan of sports, playing or watching. If forced to choose a favorite team, I'd have to with the Philadelphia Phillies. Why? Well, when I was but a wee lass of 11, my neighbors bought tickets for a game with the intention of taking my father and older buttmunch of a brother along with them. (A gift for the buttmunch's 15th birthday, IIRC). Sufficed to say, said buttmunch decided he was too cool to attend a major league baseball game with his dad and neighbors, so I got to go in his place! I don't really recall much about the game except that it was a shut out against the Padres (9-0!) and I got to eat as many Philadelpha soft pretzels as I could eat. Oh, and I got to spend the day/evening with my Daddy. Getting time alone with him in a family of four kids was a rarity, so I soaked up every second that I could.

Anyway, because of that game some 24 years ago, I'm a die-hard Phillies fan.
