Ben's Day Wednesday

Weekend Treat from Bullfrog Brewery

Posted on by Liz

Friday is always “weekend treat” day, and we are trying to keep that tradition alive during this strange time. We got carry out from the Bullfrog Brewery, and we’re happy to say that wings, burgers and fries, combined with patio dining on a lovely spring day, made for a great evening.

Carry out warriors, return victorious from the hunt.
Ben and Phil get a lot of looks in this car, due to the right hand steering. People see Ben on the left, with his hands up in the air, wavin’ like he just don’t care, and they do a double or triple take. It goes something like this: they smile, wave, go back to what they were doing for a second, and then their heads whip back to check out the sight again. You can almost hear them muttering, “What’s that, now?”
Wings make Ben’s day like nothing else can.
Ben went with the social distancing onion package.
Three of us got “Just a Burger” but we all added bacon.

After supper, we went back to one of our oldest family traditions, a game of dominoes. We always take a set of dominoes on family vacations so we have something to do when the weather is bad and we are all cooped up together. Once, when Ben was in elementary school, during a downpour at Point Pleasant Beach, we hunkered down in the motel room for a game. Ben decided he would set up the score sheet, and due to nascent writing skills along with plain old orneriness, he rechristened us all. Dad became Ded, Mom was Moon, Sophia was Spohic, and he was Buc. Whenever we play dominoes now, we call each other these names. Spohic may have rolled her eyes in the teen years, but I think she has resigned herself to the inevitability of it, and she may even secretly not mind so much, remembering the early days.

Here, Spohic and Buc enjoy the game to varying degrees before Ded delivers a crushing defeat to the rest of us.
Some of you may remember eleven -year-old Buc.
