33 - In Which Apple Kid Has The Best Father's Day
I haven't updated this in some time, oops.
I just got back in after a very long day. This morning I called Mr. Kyle to see what he was doing for Father's Day and then after I finished my phone call I saw Dr. Andonuts. I was very surprised to see him here, so I went over to talk with him. He said he was passing through town on the way to a conference and thought he would see if Jeff was free for lunch. Well, I took him to Jeff's room and I knocked on his door but nobody answered, so then I took him over to where Jeff has been working on his giant robot, thinking maybe he was inventing, but he wasn't there, either.
Dr. Andonuts told me then that it looked like we weren't going to find Jack (I'm pretty sure he meant Jeff) and that since we couldn't find Jack (Jeff), that he might as well take me out for lunch. So Dr. Andonuts took me out to a pancake restaurant and we had a lot of pancakes and sausage and juice for lunch.
Then he said that he had a little more free time, so we went to a movie -- Plaything Narrative IV. (I cried four times; the part where the minature chartreuse extraterrestrials sacrifice their lives to save the gondola carrying the sock monkey from the vat of acid left the entire audience in tears). It was a wonderful movie, worthy of, and in some ways surpassing, the three that came before it. At the movie theater we had popcorn and soda!
Then Dr. Andonuts looked at his watch and realized he'd missed his train, and there wasn't another one for another six hours, so then we went to a water park and I befouled all the water we didn't have bathing suits with us so Dr. Andonuts bought a new suit for each of us. We went on water slides and the lazy river and we had ice cream.
Then it was time for dinner, so Dr. Andonuts took me to a burger place and we had cheeseburgers and fries and milkshakes.
For the last hour or so over dinner, he showed me some diagnostics for his latest invention - it's all very hush-hush, so I won't leave any details here, but by working together, we discovered a way to improve the machine's output by 38%, while only using 59% of the original fuel intake; we even found a way to add in a soda fountain for refreshing beverages while in use. Then he had to go and I went with him to the train station and waved goodbye as his train took off.
So then I came back to school and I sat down and I typed everything out before I forgot it.
