Father's Day Weekend!

Happy Belated Father's Day!

and to those men that make

good role models in a childs life.

Father's Day weekend was fantastic! Matthew and I planned to celebrate with Jim on Saturday evening. Matthew woke up in his Dad's house and they spent the day together. It was a warm day, so they mostly stayed inside and made it a relaxing one. By 5pm, Jim drove to my place and picked me up. We drove into the Italian section of the City of Wilmington to dine at his favorite restaurant, Mrs. Robino's Family Style Italian Restaurant. He always orders the spaghetti with red clam sauce and two meatballs, and a bowl of Italian Wedding Soup. Italian bread is also served with olive oil or butter on the side. I love going too. Everything is homemade and the waitresses are friendly. If you're not Italian, you will feel like it when you eat their food.


After the filling meal, we headed towards Rodney Square to the Dupont Theatre, at the Hotel du Pont to see Delaware's All-State Theatre of high school performers perform URINETOWN: The Musical! That's right! No, it's not a misprint. It's a satirical comedy musical about the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, and municipal politics. The show also parodies Les Miserables and Annie. It had wonderful music, basic sets, and great performers. We are always surprised at how professional the show is considering the cast is comprised of high school talents. However, it was not our favorite musical. We agreed that musicals can be about anything as long as it a story with music.

The next day was even warmer. Matt and Jim took a dip in their pool for the first time this year. Later, we went out for some lite fare to cease Father's Day. Later that night, we settled in for our favorite Vampire show HBO's First Blood.
