Nice Weekend. Good Times

It was such a nice weekend:ONE PERSON threw up eight times.ONE PERSON watched 21 episodes of Modern FamilyTWO PEOPLE gave a dog a bath using Johnson’s No More Tears, offering him a pedicure after. Lucky dog!THREE PEOPLE played the board game Risk for hours.TEN PEOPLE devoured a yummy meal made by the dog-bather above: super-fresh thin-sliced swordfish drizzled with cherry tomatoes in oil, broccolini, braised kale with shredded parmigiano reggiano cheese, roasted cauliflower and a wheat-berry side dish.ONE OF THOSE DEVOURING PERSONs also blew out some candles....... on a chocolate  cake made by a family of five who ended up fleeing before the plague of throwing-up and so were not present for the fun - but! who, in their niceness, also left a giant shepherd's pie for us all, a homemade banner saying Happy Birthday and a wonderful card.ONE PERSON, having recovered entirely from the throwing up fits, enjoyed an iPad, with headphones so as no to drive the rest crazy with the sound.ONE PERSON enjoyed the cake so much he had several pieces.And ONE PERSON  watched it all with very wide eyes.It was a very nice weekend. A family is a family is a family all right.Wait, what's that you say? You've never seen that HBO documentary? Here's a 45-second clip from it. Dare ya to watch it unmoved. :-)[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkFr-rjjzlw]
