Curse of Du Claw

Yesterday we drove Kit Kat to the airport. She needed to catch a flight to visit her dad. The airline only gave out 1 extra security pass. So Little Kat and I needed to wait in the terminal. Kit Kat and Momomoko proceeded to the departure gate.

There is only one restaurant in the terminal outside of security. It is Du Claw. We had eaten there before. The appetizers are really good. We had all eaten dinner. And Little Kat had a big snack before dinner. So we decided to split a snack. Little Kat chose the buffalo wings with fries option. It was tasty.

Since it was just Little Kat and I, he was able to order a soda. Momoko joined us a bit early. Apparently Kit Kat had boarded the plane. We waited until Kit Kat's plane took off. Then we went to the parking garage. Exiting was a nightmare. Everyone was trying to leave the airport. And you need to pay the attendants for parking. Luckily we parked on a level of the garage that had a shorter line to pay for parking. Good choice Momoko.

Two Rolls

Kit Kat has a project due this weekend. She needed to do a video with her friends. So her friends were going to come over our house to work on it. She called up their friends. They said they would walk over to her house.

I was impressed because her friends live a few miles from our house. When they got here, I took Momoko and Little Kat out to eat. This was to get us out of their hair. We went to this restaurant that specializes in appetizers.

Momoko got brave and ordered Vietnamese shrimp spring rolls. How bad could it be? The things came out looking like jellyfish. And they were served chilled. Yikes. I took a shrimp or two out and ate them with spicy sauce. Only Momoko ate a whole spring roll. Little Kat ate half of one. Yuck.

On the way home, we drove straight out of the shopping center. There was a car blocking traffic on the opposite side, trying to make a left turn against us. It was a new Rolls Royce! I have only seen one of these in person one other time in my life. The thing costs something like $400,000 without options. License plate was a vanity one, saying "JEZEUS". I wonder what that was about.

Iron Man Weekend

Today the family finally came out and helped me with the yard work. Kit Kat and Little Kat were my main helpers. Luckily I had already cut the grass during the middle of the week. So we finished all our work in an hour or two.

I needed a rest after that. However Little Kat wanted to take Momoko to see Iron Man for Mother's Day. They wanted me to come so I had to wake up. We went to the least popular theater. And they had the movie playing every 30 minutes. The one we saw was on the big screen. The theater was still crowded. I was glad we could all sit together.

After the nice movie, we went out to eat. We went to a restaurant we had never been to before. It served "California" cooking. We pretty much ordered appetizers all night. There were nachos and stuffed mushrooms and eggs rolls. The best thing there were these freshly cooked donut holes. We are definitely going back.

Art Class

This is the second semester of the school year. Little Kat has started art class. He had a long list of art supplies to get. Momoko and Kit Kat watched some British movie tonight. So Little Kat and I went shopping.

We went to this arts and crafts store. They had tiny shopping carts. Little Kat had his list. He checked off each item as we found it. It was tough to find a box to contain his art supplies. The hardest item to find at the store was masking tape. Go figure.

When we got home, Kit Kat and Momoko were snacking on jalapeno appetizers that they had baked. They left a little bit for Little Kat and me. Now that everyone is asleep, it is time for me to look into ordering a new vacuum cleaner. They want me to get one like Grannie Kat's....
