The sometimes zany, often crazy, but ALWAYS entertaining lives of a family living in Suburbia, USA.
It's Saturday, May 14, 2022. Here was our day: We tried to sleep in, but none of us did. Sophie and I were up by 8, and Mom was up around 9. I lied: Matty slept in, as he always does on the weekends. Sophie is in sixth grade, and Matty is in 10th. She is playing Fairport Youth Lacrosse, and he is playing travel baseball for The Factory in East Rochester. It is keeping us busy!
Today, Sophie had two games in Pittsford. Fairport won both, and Sophie scored two in the second game. That gives her 16 goals in 10 games for a strong 8-2 team (8 straight wins, actually). Just love watching her play.

Matty has been practicing, but his games don't start until June.
After today's games, we stopped at Aldi to buy a watermelon (yum, just love it), then Taco Bell and Wendy's for lunch before coming home. Sophie and I made our first trek into our pool! It was only 74 because our heater is not working, and we're waiting for it to be fixed. But we braved it!
Afterward, we had a nice dinner on our patio: burgers, kielbasa, potatoe wedges, and watermelon. Yum diddles, as Papa Bishop used to say.
We love hanging with our dog, Charlie, who is 9 now. Such a dear, and she loves us so much. She really loves going for walks in the morning after I return from taking Matty to the high school or dropping Sophie at the bus stop (depending on the day).
The Covid-19 pandemic is still around, but it's more of an endemic now. No one seems to talk about it much. Not sure if that's good or bad.
We love our weekends now that it's warmer, and next weekend we have THREE birthday parties. On Friday, it's Hunter the dog's first birthday. That's Aunt Bars (my sister's) dog. Saturday, we are having a little get together for our neighbor, Karen McAlpin. And Sunday, we are going to Aunt Julie and Val's house to celebrate Aunt Lisa's birthday.
Dad continues to work remotely for the University of Rochester. I covered Commencement at Fauver Stadium on Friday, and now it will be a quiet 2-3 months, which I love. Mom is office manager for Catherine Miller's dermatology office down the road.
We are still mourning the loss of Grammy Bishop, who died November 29 at age 84. We miss her so. What a great lady she was, and she loved you both so much.
That's it for now! Love you all. Dad
