Spring Break Pics

Dare I merely post some family pics, without some acerbic and incisive commentary. I don't know if I have the strength...

Bowling Spring Break 2010

Things I have learned this week

1. 
   
   There are a lot more bad ideas for tattoos than good ones. People who go into a parlor asking "What do you think I should get?" ought to be immediately turned away. People who want to advertise their favorite pastime (NASCAR, the Bulls, the Longhorns...) ought to buy a t-shirt. People who want to put detailed 5"x5" pictures of both of their children, in color, as babies, on their calf... well, people whose right calf is big enough to put two 5"x5" color pictures of their children, they're exempt from these rules. Do what you want.
2. The Orlando economy has over-estimated its worth. At the store here at the hotel, a 12 oz. bottled Coke is $2.67.
3. Playing "Connect the sunburn dots" is a lot more fun than it sounds.
4. Middle Schoolers are at the absolute peak of life-selfishness.
5. In person, bikini-wearers don't look the same as they do on the cover of the magazines you pretend you're not looking at while in line at Kroger.
6. The Bowling Six is threading the time-needle between having the youngest old enough to not be a drag while having the oldest young enough to not think that we are a drag. We must cherish these few days.
