The Menno Knight Putting the Fist Back in Pacifist

First Father’s Day

So, yesterday was Father's Day. And it was my first one as a father. It was good. I got to sleep in until 9, which isn't as late as I sometimes sleep on the weekends, but it was good. I got up and sat around a while with Chelsea and Evelyn.

Things were good. And then they got better. Chelsea let me see what she had gotten me for father's day. First off was a glass to be filled at a later date with Original Sin Hard Cider. She had had some the night before and knew my love of hard cider.

Inserted into this glass was a piece of paper. On said paper were two images. One of a hammock and one of a grill. That was the last gift. PAPER WITH PICTURES! WOOHOO!

Just kidding... She actually had ordered me a hammock. One that would fit me since most hammocks have a weight limit that is significantly less than needed. She also was wanting to get me a grill. But she hadn't been successful in figuring out exactly what I wanted from a grill. So, in the end she let me pick out my own. And it is glorious. I was able to find an awesome grill from Lowe's. It's a Char-Griller Duo. And it's awesome because it has a normal charcoal grill alongside a gas grill. So it can fit any need I have. If I just want to quickly grill something, I can just fire up the gas grill and get with it. If I'm alright with the longer charcoal process, I can do that as well! NO COMPROMISE! WOOHOO! Very exciting.

After picking up the new grill, I spent the rest of the afternoon assembling it. My wife apologized for that... She's silly though. I love putting things together. So although it was a hot and sweaty job, I enjoyed putting together the grill. And I'm happy with the results. Me thinks I'll be trying to cook some steaks this weekend. We shall see how it goes!

I hope every other father out there had as good a day as me.

Thanks for a great Father's Day, Chelsea and Evelyn.
