The Peanut 500, Vote for Granby Memorial High! Eat More Kale

Good morning, Granby and East Granby! Today is Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2013; there are 146 days left in the year.

So my wife also works for Patch, which is a blessing and a curse. We can stay home with the baby and the kids while we work. Which works and doesn’t, depending on the day.

Sometimes our baby, whom I’ve indicated before is a chupacabra, has other plans for us when we think we are going to work.

To get him to calm down, I’ve come up with the Peanut (his nickname) 500, in which I run in a circle carrying my son around the dining room/kitchen/living room loop in our house.

Peanut - my wife’s nickname for our son - wins every time. (No judging the hair, we run the Peanut 500 at odd hours of the morning.)

Here’s your Daily 5:

1. The movie “42” is being shown at the East Granby Public Library at 1 p.m.

2. Bedtime Stories with the McDonnell Family at the East Granby Public Library.

3. Eat some kale. it’s yummy.

4. Sunken Garden Poetry Festival in Farmington today. Yay!
