Alex the 21 Year Old Eating Machine!
Now, on a lighter note…
(I feel so bad posting such downer stuff when every one’s postings are so light hearted!)
…we had dinner with Alex to celebrate his 21st. birthday.
It was very enjoyable. It seems Alex is a little more confident. A “comfortable in his own skin” kind of a thing. I enjoyed watching the two of them. They went on and on about the Sox, of coarse and then into some wild fantasy bout the Bears and how they are doing and all the possibilities there. lol I did get lost in the geek talk though. I think it is possible that after a while Alex may have lost his dad in that conversation also. lol He really knows his stuff!
What was really great fun to watch is the eating and drinking machine this guy is! (Can’t say boy any more, now can I?) Alex experienced his first drink. He did not like the beers he tried Friday, so he had a white Russian, which to me is like a milk-shaky thing with alcohol in it. Yuk! He liked it though. He had the bread basket with gobs of butter of coarse, he is a Lambert! There was a relish tray plus kidney bean salad, potato salad, and pickled beats. He ate all of that. Then went on to a bowl of French onion soup with a hunk of bread floating gobs of cheese on it. Ate all of his carrots and doubled baked potatoes. Then went on the methodically finish off a 3 lb. Prime rib while he drank two classes of ice water and two glasses of merlot wine! I was quite impressed! I haven’t seen anyone eat like that since my brother was 18 yrs old and home from the Marines at Thanksgiving! Bill then mentioned he had intended on taking him to the new Cold Stones that are new here and Alex said he was up for that! So on we went to went to Cold Stone where he had a gotta have it size of some very chocolate thing! When he asked me how one goes about not getting diabetes I thought I would choke! LoL! (It seems his mother now has it and with his father’s family history, it was on his mind! I just thought the timing was funny!) Alex is now up to 6'6" and a whopping 170 lbs! His shoulders, back and arms have really filled out from all the boxes he tosses around at UPS. I told him it would be a long while before he has to worry about it!
All in all it was a great time. Think we have a tentative date to go the bowling place in Frankfort. It’s a real family place and has great pool tables. So Bill is gonna teach him all he knows about that and show him there are actually games to be played somewhere other than on a computer!
So Alex here's to a great 21st year and much good luck on getting those certifications that are due to happen!

OK what was so "downer" about that? Unless you got to pick up the check!
No, this one is not the downer. She had just got thru posting the one blow, about a death.
...and I did pick up the check. 48 oz Porterhouse, drinks, wine and the Coldstone afterwards.
