There's gold in there hills


Hello Bloggers of long form, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here.

 

Some people go to Goodwill buy a print for 12 bucks. Only to discover it’s worth 12,000 dollars.

 

I on the other hand go to Dodgen Middle School Fields, find a barely used MLS approved Frisbee. And the dog finds a lacrosse ball to chew, and generally get the ball totally yeuch up. Then expect me to throw it until her tongue hangs out.

 

The Kids and I spent about an hour tossing a Frisbee, soccer ball (we actually brought that with us) and a lacrosse ball.

 

An afternoon well spent, better then a 12,000 print.

Eat more Chikin


We live in Georgia, so therefore when it comes down to fast food. There are more Chick F La then Burger Kings. McDonalds and Wendy's we're just about even.



And if you didn't know Dan Cathy the CEO aforementioned fast food restaurant; created a public relations fire storm over his opinion on same sex marriage. And for the record he's against it.



Now, we are having support the Chicken Days and Kiss in Nights.



Chick F La the privately held but very public company, has made the regular statements of we welcome everybody. But they don't seem to wash.



Here's my idea: Sometimes when I am in public with kids, and we run across a same sex couple. And kids being kids, want to say something. I usually cut them off by responding " Yeah, they bat for the same team." And move on.



Chick F La could run an ad with the Chickens and the Cows at baseball game. Dan Cathy is the umpire. He lefts up his mask and says: " Here at Chick F La we don't care what team you bat for, just eat our chicken... Let's play ball."  Have a chicken drop his/her mitt and run off the field.



It's simple. And can perhaps calm the Chicken Little's of the world.
