Astorian Weekend Edition -- June 17, 2005

Friday June 17, 2005

Sure, sure. *Now* spring comes - after the deathly heat wave that was last week. Well, Dad lucks out.

Celebrate Papa's Day QNS-style: Take him to Papa's Empanadas and then dare him to try the Banana & Peanut Butter one. Let us know how that works out. Did he overload on hot sauce? Stop by Uncle Louie G's ice cream on the way home. Soooooo good. Then show pop you learned to drink beer and eat pork without him - take him to the Astorian beer garden.

Let me guess. Dad drove you crazy while he was here. Perfect time to sit on that Astorian stoop and drink that sangria you stashed away. Oh, and if he didn't? Then you have the perfect family and don't deserve any. Put that Rioja back in the cabinet, punk.
