I'm a bad father...
« on: February 13, 2017, 05:44:35 pm »
As most of you all know, I'm a proud Gonzaga alum who is truly enjoying our historic season.

For several games this year, my family (2 sons, daughter, and grandson...Mom/Nana rarely joins us) and I assemble at the local Twin Peaks. It's less than two miles from home, food is good, and they have some pretty good beers, too. Service is good, too. Yes, the waitresses wear skimpy outfits, but the one we go to in Valley Ranch has less body art than other locations.

I wasn't paying attention last Saturday night, until after we sat down at our booth, to watch Gonzaga vs. St. Mary's. In honor of Valentine's Day, their promotion was "Lingerie Week."



As a Dad, I wasn't exactly thrilled, nor was my daughter, she was more noncommittal. Of course, my two sons (15 & 28) voted yes, but neither asked to take a picture with our waitress, unlike another dad who was there with his teenage son.

We were focused on the Zags winning #26, remaining undefeated on the year. Next year, I'll know better.

This post is more of a mea culpa than anything else. I'll know enough to avoid it next year.

You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.

It happens. You rolled with it in the best way possible.

Not exactly the mark of a bad father.  :beer:

Twin Peaks is OK, but the best spot is the Tilted Kilt.
