When remodeling, always keep in mind the story of “ If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”. The story goes on that he will then want a glass of milk, then he will want to watch tv and so on and so on. So, if you want to replace your old built-in microwave ( that was melted by my son) you are going to want to go ahead and install new cabinets. If you want new cabinets you are going to want to change the countertops to granite. If you put in granite you need to put in a new sink which means you might as well put in a new backsplash. Now that you have replaced the countertops you might as well put in new flooring. If you need to put in new flooring you need to go ahead and paint as well. If you are painting you might as well replace all the lighting. Ok, you have done most of the kitchen do you redo the laundry room as well to match?
This is why I don’t give mice anything.
This week I am going to send out a survey for parents of adult special needs kids. My wife and a friend have put together this survey with the goal of giving us insight as to what to do when our kids transition into adulthood( something I personally have never been able to do). If you know someone you could pass it on to that would be great. Understand, that when you see this survey, that my wife is much more intelligent than I (please don't tell her this) and so the wording will be much more eloquent than mine. Please don’t expect this level of eloquence in the future.

We are in the middle of a kitchen remodel at home, and of course, things are never what they appear. Once we pulled the existing cabinets we found dry rot in the flooring and so things are going to take a couple more years than we planned.
In the meantime, after everyone goes to sleep at my house, I have been sneaking out to Taylors for a late-night treat, and then in the morning before anyone gets up I sneak over to Country Waffles or FlapJacks for an early morning breakfast. The only problem is I have forgotten all my alarm codes and so I end up treating and feeding all the dispatched police. Fortunately, they believe me when I say I am the owner, so I haven’t had one of those cellblock treats yet.
May 31 - Jun 6
Ok folks, it is now apparent why there are so many strange things going on. Remember when I kidded about Flapjacks in outer space, well now we know. They are here and they are probably here to steal my franchise and spread it around the universe. Kidding aside, now that the government has acknowledged UFO’s as being unexplainable, then does that mean that they are here among us. I mean it would explain a lot of things. Think about it, maybe my kids didn’t take the pineapple after all.
May 24 - 30
There is so much talk about who should run up against Gavin Newsom for governor if he gets recalled. Well, I think I have found the perfect replacement, Julia Louise Dreyfus. She has had 3 successful TV shows and she has played a vice president and president on TV. Those shows ran for years, which gives her a lot of experience in the BS it requires to be a politician. Oh, that’s right, she went to jail in the last episode of Seinfeld. Oh well, she might be a little more kindly to ex-convicts for that stint. Anyway, what do you think?
OK, 3 things on my mind.
Since they are relaxing the COVID rules we will now fully seat the small room at FlapJacks and the back room at Country Waffles to people who are fully vaccinated. Apparently, after June 15 things will go back to normal and we will seat every table and not require masks. However, I will require my servers to keep masks for a while longer.
I am in need of some dish station and kitchen help at Flapjacks. If you have a teen you want to get out of the house, we will take them. Just have them apply. They would primarily wash dishes and bus tables. Then once they have that down we can train them in the prep area.
If you have a classic car and want to show it off, bring it to Taylors on Thursday nights. If you bring it I will buy you one of our 300+ shakes.
