Dad 773: Brisket or Brisquet?

(After missing last week, Dad writes for the blog today! I want to add that last night's post-dinner entertainment was Glen giving Joe a haircut.... ~ Tracy)
 
Derf Here!
 
Another damp summer day in the Northeast. We have had some nice dry days this July, but also enough days that have had summer showers. Maybe August (starting tomorrow) will have some dry summer days. Please!
 
I've been watching the funeral for a New York City detective. He was killed a few days ago by a man who walked down the New York streets with a long rifle out for all to see. The man went in an office building, pushed the wrong elevator button, and got on the wrong floor where he shot the cop and three others dead. No one said a thing to this man as he walked down the street. What a world we live in.
 
There is also a case where a man murdered two parents in front of their small children. I would allow the defendant to live a few years until the children could handle a gun and shoot him in the town square! Again, what a world we live in.
 
On a happier note, we have enjoyed our Illinois visitors this month. Zachariah, Kelsey, Bode, and Boston (also known as Princess) will be heading back home on Monday. Joe, Kim, and Kaelen still will be here a while longer. I knew it wouldn't last. School starts for Illinois on Monday, August 11.
 
Zach and Kelsey brought a beef brisket from Illinois for us all to feast on. Glen slow-cooked it yesterday (he started at 7:00am!) and we enjoyed eating it for dinner last night. Delicious!
 
We want to shout out a "Happy 12th Birthday" to our bonus great-grandchild Adam this week. Enjoy your day, Adam.
 
That is it for today. The longest blog post ever! (Sorry, Tracy!)
 
Until next time!
 
Toodle pip!
 
Derf!
