Sometimes Rules Should Be Broken

Yes, sometimes you gotta break your own rules. Tonight Brad deserved to break his ice cream rule.

Last night about 8:00...oh, it's a long story...Alex accidentally dropped a brick on Brad's finger. His fingernail is progressively turning black. Ouch. He's hurting.

After being a good dad and cheering on his daughters at two basketball games, he spent the day outside, mostly in the rain, putting up new vent covers around our house. Steel. Because apparently rats can chew through anything up to iron. Not steel. So steel hardware cloth is being placed over all of our vent thing-a-ma-jigs on the foundation of the house.

Ew. I'm dangerously close to itching. All that adds up to a man that deserves a bowl of ice cream. So I went to Safeway and bought him some Mocha Latte Swirl. And I bought some hot fudge. And he's a much happier man.
