Music: Cherry Poppin Daddies - Brown Derby Jump
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Couple new developments. We had family over for brunch yesterday. 15 people. Two cooks. All short order food like pancakes and scrambled eggs. It was made exceptionally clear to my mother (who had come up with this almost unworkable idea) that any criticism about how little time my father and I spent away from the stove would be met with screams and possibly the gnashing of teeth. Just because the food is simple to make, doesn't mean it makes the party any easier. Short-order cooking is hard. But we had a good day regardless, thanks to the fact that our kitchen is open to the rest of the family room, so we could still interact with guests between pancake turns.

Mom still complained that it wasn't the perfect party she had wanted, but that's about par for the course.

Also, I got a guitar. I've wanted to learn to play for a while now (who doesn't?), and my Aunt Jill just had one sitting around her house (my cousin quit and never touches the thing). Played around for awhile, realizing that I have no innate skill. I also managed to give myself a nice little cut from the strings. Rock out.
