It goes: Thursday night may have been the best of the bunch so far; picked Lisa and friends up from the high school boys lacrosse game (Kevin has musical and then senior concertos). Take them all to Grand Traverse Pie Company for dinner then to the last half of the concert and call it a night.
Lisa likes lacrosse. Watched a quarter of Cpher’s game last Wednesday….did ask if Cpher won on Thursday (Kevin can’t be bothered to ask how fric and frac do most days…). Went again to boys game on Saturday night. We have heard from Kevin that one of the JV lax players is working hard to impress Lisa; sadly he’s also spreading rumors about his adventures with Lisa.
Anyway, stopped at the Pie Company…brightest smile from Lisa this trip; extremely happy to have pie! Two slices for dinner. Guess I should stop here and go into….
Top three inadvertently amusing moments:
3) first night, Lisa asks if she can ‘douche’ in the morning. Am extremely grateful that Kevin was there at that moment and quickly said ‘shower’….
2) Lisa’s had a cold/cough most of this trip; offered her Nyquil, which led to a search on the internet to find the german name and what it was. She ended up saying she couldn’t take it because of a german word she explained was her birth control medicine….turns out the german word meant glaucoma (had to look, couldn’t believe Nyquil had that restriction! and it doesn’t)
1) At the Pie Company….ask the three girls if they want anything to drink, they all say ‘no’. Say ok, we’ll at least get water….this restaurant has little 1/2 size cups near the drink fountain for water, so, I show them the cups, show them how to hit the ‘other’ button on the pop machine to get water.
Sit down, two of the girls don’t have water, have coke and mt. dew. “Ok, you’re going to be embarrassed by this, but, I need to explain something. Water is free, but you have to for pop/soda.”. They were mortified…pretty funny (to me at least).
Senior Concertos: The tradition here is that each senior in the orchestra gets to perform a concerto as their ‘swan song’….looking forward to Kevin doing this. Kevin played in the orchestra behind about 1/2 of these seniors….and man, some of those seniors are phenomenal! Germans came away very impressed….
