Amids allegations of fraud on both sides 
(it seems Mortimer's Dad might have mixed up his cards and used players from both teams), Herb and MD are once again sitting on the floor, picking teams and getting ready for part two of the Showdown in Montreal. Lil' Urban is still playing with the other cards, but this time, she's only been given one team, because it took me forever to sort through all the teams after she was done last time.
Also, they dressed for the occasion....
In non-Strat related news, Mrs. Urban and I hit the mall today so she could shop at H&M and I took her to Zara, another favorite of mine. We only had the 2 little kiddos, as Dumpling had her first day of day camp today, where she promptly peed on the side of the public pool. Oh, I'm popular there now!
After naps today, we packed up the 3 kiddos in the minivan (7 passengers my ass! I have to sit in the 3rd row wedged between two car seats) and headed over to the Jazz fest, made our way through the crowd and just made it to the kids music play area, when the skies opened up and it started to rain. So we strapped the kids back in and headed to the Schmall, where we let them run around the much-beloved pirate ship and The Urbans had some old-people coffee. But Herb took lots of pictures, so I'll let him give you his impressions of the dead Jewish mall.
How come I've never seen that decor of bobbleheads...so impressive, and of course they played on the floor surrounded by them...ha!

Herb and MD look like they're in their element there. Especially with the almost matching Expos jerseys.
What exactly is "old-people coffee?" Is that when you drink coffee with your lunch or dinner?

Hey, Dumpling was just marking her territory. Perfectly reasonable...
I'm wondering what "old people coffee" is, too.

"old people coffee" is essentially hot chocolate with just a slight hint of Maxwell House. It is wretched to the last drop.

OMG, look at all the bobbleheads!

A quick correction, because I do not want to mislead anyone. The true meaning of old people coffee is just nasty, two week old drip that could double as paint remover. What we had at The "Schmall", which is Yiddish for the dead mall where all the elderly Jews go to kill a few hours before the early bird, was just a really awful mocha. But since we were the only Schmall goers under the age of 70, I decided to lump in old people coffee with just crappy mochas.
Now maybe MM will stop accusing me of "misleading her readers".

All this time I was envisioning the guys getting together for some Fender guitar summit ROCK-off.
Never mind.

You must have us confused with two cool guys.
