Cookout, great food, great beer, hung the flag out front, classic Americana
Hanging out with my ex-wife and her new boyfriend (who is a nice enough chap but exasperating on many levels) while she sauntered around in her size zero bikini was…interesting. And I brought along my sporting current girlfriend. Awkward, yes. Interesting…also yes.
My '66 MGB is in the shop. Too bad, as it would have been a great day to go topless. We took the Prius and stopped at Denny’s for breakfast. Then it was down to Seattle. Why can’t traffic be like today when I commute to the office? Only took us an hour and a half to get to the Pacific Science Center. We had an hour to kill before we could go in, so we walked over to The 5-Point Café. Some people may think ten ayem is too early for a beer, but we reckoned the sun was over the yardarm somewhere. They need to have someone trim the trees. They get in the way of the periscope. Back at the Science Center, we went to the King Tut exhibit. The SO had gone to the one 30 years ago, and she was a little disappointed by the smaller exhibit; but she liked the new stuff.
After that we went down to Pier 56 to Elliott’s Oyster House. We shared a dozen large local oysters, and we had lunch (and beer). We stopped at a Wal-Mart so she could get some things, and then to home. I gave the cat his meds, and then crashed for an hour and a half. Got up, watched some episodes of Rome, then went down to the beach to watch fireworks. (I’ve mentioned it’s like a war zone up here.) The house next door is shared by a family on a rotating basis, and I introduced myself to ones I hadn’t met before. More Rome, and the explosions finally stopped around a quarter past midnight.
And now, to bed.
Now THIS sounds, yes, interesting!
Yesterday was the 4th here in Australia…and as per usual, I worked and all the other boring stuff that a regular day provides.
So,** FoieGrasIsEvil,** tell us more about your exciting day then!! 
I’ll have to collect my thoughts before I post something hasty. OK, maybe not! I still love my ex-wife on some level, though I don’t think I am* in* love with her. I am however, extremely attracted to her trim, petite little body. I would have sex with her in an instant if she were to allow it. I know that sounds pretty immature, but it is what it is.
We have two younger sons, aged 10 and 6. She is 36 and I am 42. Her last three boyfriends in order were 59, 57 and now this latest one is 56. I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around whatever daddy issues she’s got going on. All these guys look similar too…grey beards, fully white hair…they look even older than they actually are.
Two of the last three were impotent too. Not sure about this latest one…but this one is the most serious of all of them. The difficult part in hanging out with the boyfriend is the last few times I’ve been over there (to a party, swim or fish with my son in his pond) he’s been pretty inebriated and then he continually wants to take me aside and tell me either what a gentleman he is to my ex and my sons (oh yeah, she’s quit her job and is living with this guy now…so when Mom has the boys its at boyfriend’s house…they’ve only known each other since January), how much he loves my ex, how he intends to marry her, how much he thinks he knows about her and I (we were together for 11 years)…its pretty annoying.
And if you point this out to him, he acts all butthurt like you just pooped in his beer. I am trying to be the best I can in all of this…if she’s going to be with this guy (and he IS a nice guy, he DOES treat my boys well, he does work hard for a living and makes okay money) then I think its in the best interests of the children that we all get along and be adults. So far that’s worked out okay.
I have to run now but I will leave with this (and more later): whenever I see him look at her with that “I love you look”, not only does it make me cringe, all I can think is “OLD BALLS”.
Yes… interesting. I can’t imagine what’s going on in her 36 year old head, let alone in her, umm, near-sexual-desire-peak loins. I don’t mean to be inappropriate, but if she’s dating much older and impotent men, while at the same time prancing around in a skimpy bikini, then she’s at best a little confused.
Good thing for your boys that the men treat them well. THAT’S your main concern at this point, IMHO.
Well, that and wanting to jump her bones. Don’t blame you for that.
Well, I got no sexy ex-y stories for you, but we did go to the 27th annual Boom Box Parade in Willimantic, CT. Only the coolest parade in the US of A, and a total must for my family.
History and pics here:

I love this parade because anyone can march or display a float - church group, kid with a bike, the local brewpub, 4-H, garden shoppe, karate school, drug and alcohol recovery group, fire department, lady on a horse, drunk guys with a flag, gay pride group, senior center, whatever. Everyone is welcome and gets along, which kind of sums up the whole concept of the USA to me.
My only gripe is that squirting water is now outlawed.
