Live-blogging Father's Day

5:57 pm - So here we all are at my Father's-in-law (not sure here -- I know where plurals go in this situation, but possessives?). The burgers and dogs have been grilled, the salads and desserts and sundry else have all been devoured in earnest. It's actually about to wrap up, but one nephew was playing games on the computer for a while.

It's a typical family get-together, with the several generations represented, and with young and younger still (sis-in-law has one on the way) comprising the majority.

The wife just reminded me that we forgot the camera. Someday we'll finish that roll of, yes, film, and put some Riverbend shots online.

6:05 pm - A nephew is talking about his blog. I've inquired as to its URI, but he's not sure of it. Perhaps I'll get it later. I know I wasn't blogging at 13 (is that how old this one has gotten?).

6:20 pm - Things are wrapping up. Everyone's trying out the blood pressure checker. What fun! Awards were handed out in Individual and Couples categories (for the highest, of course). It's strange whose ends up higher than those one might expect.

6:27 pm - Just got the "Joe, do you think we should go soon?" question. Translation: "We're going, very soon." One more family picture and we're out of here.
