The Fraternal Order of Eagles (FOE) was founded by a group of theatre owners in Seattle, WA in 1898. I had the pleasure of working for a few years at their first lodge, or aerie, which had been refurbished into a spectacular performance space by A Contemporary Theatre. Yesterday I benefited from one of the FOEs many contributions to society, Mother's Day (they were also early supporters of Social Security, and were responsible for the placement of many 10 commandment plaques in public places). The boys made me Dan's patented Moon Waffles - a perfect buttermilk waffle topped with a scoop of Turkey Hill vanilla bean ice cream, homemade bittersweet chocolate sauce, and fresh Market strawberries - and showered me with gifts. Jack took a nice long morning nap giving me time to read the entire Sunday New York Times and take a leisurely shower. After he woke up we spent the afternoon playing, or more accurately I chased him around the house and let him climb all over me. We made a nice dinner, enjoyed a tasty wine, put Jack to bed, and watched an hour of a movie. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better first Mother's Day!
