Not old, just tired

Keeping up with an 11-year-old for four or five hours is some serious hard work.

So I was up in Maryland this weekend for a wedding reception on akiko's side of the family. After maybe an hour of perfectly lovely reception (hey, they had strawberry daiquiris and cocktail shrimp, yum), I let myself get talked into hanging out with her youngest cousin

The red berries were squishy.

Which is why I avoided them. I take no responsibility for Max or Kurt's berry choices. Though really, the vast majority being thrown around were the little green ones simply because they were so much easier to grab off the trees in bulk.

Karl also discovered the squishiness of the red ones.

I'm bored.

Whiffleball! I have a memory of someone buying my brother a set of kids' golf clubs that, while small-sized, were real metal and everything. He and my dad tried them out, but used whiffle golf balls for some reason.

It was pretty neat to watch them explode when hit with a heavy metal object.

Also, I stole some manga from you! OH NOEZ.
