A New Adventure

We are headed out to start the first of the activities on the schedule for parents’ weekend, sponsored by our sons’ fraternity. I’m as prepared as one can be for . . . hatchet throwing. It seems to be the new in-vogue activity these days. It used to be mystery rooms and just my luck, just in time for parents’ weekend for a fraternity, hatchet throwing is now all of the rage. And it is right next to a brewery. Brilliant.

I’ll be giving my sons, the two biological brothers and also fraternity brothers, a little gift in an envelope which I have prepared. I went through old family photographs last night and I found the most adorable pictures of the two brothers, doing their thing together, when they were little toddlers. I think their other fraternity brothers will get a kick out of it all. I will be careful that these photographs aren’t used as targets, though. Those pictures are among the most precious things we own.

If tomorrow’s blog looks like this:

You’ll know that I wasn’t all that successful at hatchet throwing. I am aiming to not lose any of my bodily extremities, nor my mind. My intentions are good. I always aim to be a “cool mom” now that my kids are grown. I can’t say that I often succeed, but I try.

Are you passing on love, or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.

My two middle boys belong to the same fraternity, at the same university. I am delighted that they invited me to “Moms’ Weekend”, coming up here in a few weeks. I just spent about an hour, scouring the internet and making phone calls to find the absolute, very last hotel room available, in decent proximity to the fraternity house for that weekend. Turns out, I’m going to be paying for 5-star accommodations at a 2-star hovel. I guess that it just wouldn’t be proper to crash at the fraternity house. (Was it ever proper for me to crash at a fraternity house??) It turns out that weekend also has some popular events going on in town, such as an anime convention, a food truck rally and “IndiaFest.” I have a feeling that there is going to be quite the interesting crowd in their college town that weekend. I should have a lot to write about. Stay tuned . . . .
