Random Friday Morning Thougts

• We canoed for about an hour down the Blackwater River yesterday. My only complaint is that we didn't sign up for the longer one.
• Pic. 
• Once the canoes were in the water, I fired up Dueling Banjos on my phone. At least I was highly entertained. 
• The guy helping with the boats had a great accent. We asked him where he was from and he said, "LA - Lower Alabama."
• We took someone's advice on here and ate at AJ's in the harbor yesterday evening. Fantastic. The girls want to go back to see more fishing ships come in. Best times? Noon? 4:00?
• But when we got dressed for dinner, I realized I'd only brought tennis shoes. When I walked out, I got a "Really?" from Mrs. LL.  I started humming the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme. It didn't help. 
• Most awkward stepparenting moment last night when one kid (who shall remain nameless) woke me up to tell me their toilet was clogged. I headed that way when she yelled, "I don't want you to see my business." Darlin', I don't want to see your business, either. So with me in the kitchen, I gave her instructions as she operated the plunger. Success. 
• I've been mostly disconnected from the news this weekend. I love it and hate it. 
• But I did see that a state legislator was arrested for DWI in Austin. 
• Six people gunned down in a bar in the "outskirts" of Cancun.  Mexico doesn't need that bad press. 
• And some things never change: Cop car hit in the metroplex. 
• They have "bear crossing" signs on the back roads here. 
• And the very odd message warning that smoke might impact visibility. Is there a big fire in the Florida Panhandle I'm not aware of?
• What does "first cousin once removed" mean?
• Speaking of awkward, this most recent clip of the very effeminate pastor Robert Jeffress ranting about gays has to be seen. The FBC of Dallas has to get control of that guy. 
• And that's some craziness at Prestonwood Baptist.  
• This might be a bit, but Kelli Rasberry tweeted a pic of a knight at Medieval Times who she was in love with. But there is no question that's the boyfriend of Fox 4's Fiona. Did I just write that?
