The Peanut 500, Noise Pollution in West Hartford? Strike a Pose for Downtown Yoga

Good morning, West Hartford! 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. He's shown in the photo having just won and celebrating with his first mohawk.

Here’s your Daily 5:

1. The ShopRite Partners in Caring Golf Tournament is today at Blue Fox Run in Avon at 8 a.m. The golf tournament has raised over $70,000 through the years to combat hunger.

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

3. What do you think of this person’s stance on noise pollution in West Hartford?

4. Abraham and Mary Lincoln play? I am totally there. It’s in Hartford, so you know it’s good.
