Saturday was a pretty nice day over the weekend, and rather than fall into the same TV-watching rut we seem to have been in since Christmas, Berta and I took the kids out to play at the Oasis Family Fun Center. I had taken the kids there once before myself, with Dan and his two kids. Abby and Riley had a pretty good time, and there was no reason to expect that they wouldn’t on this occasion, too.
The Oasis is a warehouse-style building that is somewhat off the beaten path. Inside, they’ve got miniature golf, redemption games, and - the reason why we went - a giant playground. It’s one of those playgrounds like they have at Chuck E Cheese’s, with the tubes that the kids climb in, but it’s enormous.
The playground has 4 big-kid slides and one for toddlers. A nice thing about this playground is that it has a toddler area. Too often, they want to go play with their older siblings and they just aren’t big enough. And yet, we ended up letting Riley crawl around in there, too.

I’ve had a mild cough for the past couple of days, something that my recently discovered homeopathic remedy Airborne didn’t kick.
I looked through the medicine cabinet at home and found surprisingly little in the way of remedies. Berta has been on a frenzy of throwing out over-the-counter drugs that even look like they’re expired. I have to hide bottles of ibuprofen just to keep them around when I need them. I figured I could probably do without any cough medicine, but finally on Wednesday I was done being bothered by it.
On the way home from work I stopped at Eckerd (Doesn’t everyone else like the name “Thrift Drug” better than “Eckerd”? What were they thinking?) to look through their drug selection.
One of the things I like to do when I’m shopping for drugs is to compare the drug contents of the various pills. It’s amazing how much the drug store is a marketing paradise.
