candy cannon of good times

I went to the 311 / Offspring concert. It was a magical cracked out evening of fun with Julie. Started at Olive Garden with interesting conversations. The family next to us asked like 3 times what I was eating. Who knew cheese ravioli was such an interesting dish. Part of the converstation was the upcoming family reunion. I proceded to ask Julie " Is your dad doing the candy cannon?" I got a "probably not." I considered boycottying and getting a whole new family. Candy raining from the heavens of Centerville is a joyious event loved by many. As the concert came we had to drive to Usana. I still don't get the traffic and why it all of a sudden got better after Bangeter highway. Nothing like a beer and air guitar and a game of "your team" to make a concert complete. So on to the family reunion. As long as I can remember the reunion is on the 24th of July. I don't know what that makes me giggle but it does. It seems so Utahn. The reunion is great to see aunts, uncles, and cousins. Some I saw just a few weeks ago the others I only get to see once a year. There are about 5 coolers of beer. Its goooooood times. Gail finally brought out the candy cannon. Okay Gail is one of those guys who can actually build stuff. He made a little pipe thing, not a pipe bomb, and it shoots candy into the sky. I don't know how it works or why it works. I love candy flying at high volocities. Amen
