First thing you should know is that currently I’m in Illinois, my home state, for the week. My wife, son and I are visiting my parents and are thoroughly enjoying the cool weather. Today we took Thomas to a local pond. This pond is where I first played ice hockey, caught many many fish and basically just spent a lot of time growing up; so it was a joy to be able to take my son there.
One thing we wanted to make sure to do while we were there was feed the Geeks. Erm, at least that’s what Thomas called them. GEEKS! GEEKS! He would yell. He hadn’t really ever seen geese up close before so it was quite a thrill as you can imagine. I tried to get him to put the “s” in there where it needed to go but a “k” sound came out every time so we just made it a running joke, “Here Geeks! Come get some bread you Geeks!” Heh. These are the days.
