May 1, 20196 yr My mother is notorious story teller and provider of unsolicited information about people I have never met and probably will never meet as well as a grammar corrector and relayer of news articles (when I was in college) and now facebook posts about mental and physical health.

June 3, 20196 yr Popular Post My son is 13. Yesterday we had to go to a little neighborhood get-together down at the bay. Thing was at one of the new neighbors' places. They're about a decade or so younger than my wife and I, but the whole street was supposed to be there, so we were expecting a variety of folks. So we get there and it's a millenial festival. Nobody really there but the hosts and their friends. There's no beer in a can. It's all farm-raised sushi served with organic water poured over artisanal ice served in a glass which had little imperfections to show that it was crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous people of whereever. I decide about 30 minutes in that we need to bow out and go back to our place. I don't come down to the bay on my days off to do that shit. So I tell the hosts "Sorry. Gotta go. The boys are thirsty in Atlanta." They and their cluster of friends look at me with these blank stares. No recognition whatsoever. So I yell over to the boy, who's with some kids his age about 10 feet away - "Son, the boys are thirsty in Atlanta." He responds "And there's beer in Texarkana," says goodbye to the other kids and walks over to me. Hosts are still totally lost. As we walk out he tells the hosts "Google it." It was fantastic.

June 3, 20196 yr A few months ago I bought pink raquetballs to play fetch with our lab because they were easier to see in the snow.
