I was pretty excited today when my daughter presented both ZoZo and Amélie for a trip on the big boat. I’m pretty fond of the letter Z and zebras, less so the animal and more so the football official, my dad having officiated football throughout most of my childhood and the memories I have thereof. I knew just where I was going.

Ironically, my daughter offered some advice this morning she had never before proffered: “Daddy, be safe on the big boat!”

My daughter loves ice cream too, having devoured an ice cream sandwich the very first time she ever saw one. Since one of the joys in my life is sharing ice cream with my family we have it quite frequently, sometimes at home and sometimes at Mora as a treat. If you find yourself at Mora, skip the vanilla (though it’s my favorite flavor theirs is nothing special) and try one of the more unusual varieties (my current choice being banana split).
