Today started out different and I mean that in a good way.  All three of the kids are slated for physicals early this morning at the hospital near my office.  So THE WOMAN hatched a plan to get them all up before dawn and drop me off on the way in.  Normally a good idea, but today the traffic was non-existant (by DC standards anyway) so we got here half an hour early.

Never one to take success lying down, she declared it was time for a family breakfast.  My treat of course.  Long story short we pulled into a non-English speaking McDonalds near Crystal City and chowed down.  THE BOY was in heaven because he got all of the girls’ hash browns.

Not at all a bad way to kick things off.
