About time for a "Family" Day

I took the day off work and took the boat and the whole fam damily to the lake. My boat is finally running. The last time we tried this about three weeks ago we ended up floating close to the put-in with no running engine. This time the boat worked flawlessly. It helps to run the boat at lest once every two years.

Atticus and Adrienne and especially Lolo loved the water. We went to Lake James where the water is clear and cool and the scenery is amazing. All three of the hellions took a nap as we drove around. The drone of the motor put them right to sleep. Atticus fought it but he finally snoozed. We found a cove that was completely undeveloped and anchored and swam for at least an hour and a half.

Poor Lolo got very chaffed where the strap from her lifejacked went between her legs. You would think that someone would design those straps better so that wouldn't happen.

A fun time was had by all and we need to do it again very soon.

Christianity Explained

I can't claim this as my own... I gleaned it from a response to a YouTube video but it pretty much sums it up.

Christianity: The belief that some cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Makes perfect sense.

Or maybe I like this because I just drank 3 beers.

Who knows.
