Week With The Girls

Southern Man's eleven-year-old daughter is here for a week, which is a big deal now that she and her mom live six hours away. So Casa Southern Man is a busy and noisy place as both girls stubbornly insist on listening to their own electronic entertainment; teen daughter is spinning newly-acquired Lady Gaga vinyl on Southern Man's turntable and eleven-year-old is dividing her attention between videos on YouTube (at a volume designed mainly to annoy her sister) and whatever is running on the Disney Channel on TV. The younger will spend the next few days at her grandparent's house (while Southern Man puts in his rigorous four-day summer workweek) and then she'll be back for another weekend of fun. Multiple movies, a day at the local water park, and a trip to the zoo may be in the offing.
