The Great Pie Sunday Canadian Goose Massacree EVENTS of the DAY; The Functional Family Report from Uncle Tom: New Rides for the nephs. Pie Sunday with store bought gelato instead. Chili accompaniments and condiments are tactile - to chagrin of adults, to pleasure of llittle boys. Martial arts in varmintry. Bicycle martial arts. The long bicycle time out sentence By Tom Waggener Spirits were high with the onset of true fall weather at pie Sunday today. Pie Sunday is a Shelby County Waggener tradition in which the elder Waggener and his wife make a fine feast and the younger Waggener's wife makes a pie; in the today's case, the dessert was phoned in and a fine gelato from Kroger was bought, instead. The nephs in high spirits Graham and Evan were in high spirits since Graham had just gotten a new bike and Evan inherited Graham's old bike. Both got blue and green blinky lights as well, although Evan's was lost on the 2 mile car trip home from the bike store. Graham had taken to his bike with great panache and demonstrated his ability to spin out the lowest gear at 160 rpm's while pedaling around the cul-de-sac. T-Bones (but they were all accidents) Evan, more of a power rider, attempted several times to thwart Graham's panache with well timed *T-bones. In time, the bikes were placed carefully in the front yard we adjourned ourselves to the dinner table. Chili makes for a fine kids course, as the toppings; cheese, nachos and sour cream are all quite tactile, much to the chagrin of the adults. It was time to talk of many things; of the walk to the park, plagues of Canadian geese, and whether nunchucks will bring down flying beasts I asked Pen how his walk to the park was and what pictures he had gotten of the scenery. Somber thoughts: The World's Canada Goose crisis The conversation turned quickly to the plague of Canadian Geese we have overrunning our parks and country side. I suggested to Pen that we hunt the filthy beasts. After all I have always fancied myself a hunter even though I have never been one. Evan, intrigued by the suggestion of animal bloodshed said, "Hunt them with guns?" In the best interest of 2nd amendment diversity I replied "No, with nunchuks" In my defense, I honestly think it's possible to hunt birds with Nunchucks, however inefficient it may be. I imagine it would make for a fine workout regardless of overall bird yield. This raised both boys' interest and I further suggested that Evan dress as a Canadian goose hunter for Halloween. The thought of combining Halloween with weaponry was quite inspiring to young Evan. Graham, the great innovator, decided that he would rather be a nacho chip hunter and described how he would stalk and kill the nacho chip in graphic detail. Pen and I decided that at the very least a video of his sons running after Canadian Geese with nunchucks would be a shortly celebrated internet video. The bicycle time-out With dreams of avicide and bellies full of chili, the boys left the table to return to their bikes. This ended shortly with a successful attempt at full speed collision by Evan. And while there were no physical injuries, the deep emotional scar of losing one's bicycle for the week is sure to heal slowly. *T-Bone: Neighborhood Biking term for intentional right angle bike demolition derby maneuver.
