A family distraction

Today my Mom and Dad are coming in from Rochester for the holiday weekend. Already I have made big plans to keep us occupied. I think tonight we'll have dinner at The Great Lakes Brewing Company, since my Dad's never been before but has had to listen to my Mom and Julia and her parents gush about it. Saturday, I will enlist my Dad's help to rip out the carpeting in the hallway, which Oscar has been using as a toilet recently. Sunday we will celebrate Kevin's grandfather's 84th birthday, followed by a picnic and the last Cleveland Orchestra concert of the summer season at Blossom. Should be fun stuff, and a much needed distraction from recent events.
