Go ahead, all the cool kids are doing it.


Last night was ugly, Dad couldn't sleep. Took half a pill and threw it up, took the other half and threw that up.  Restless and awake in the wee hours.




So today I took the ancient old Dell computer sitting dead in the garage, the one held together with duct tape, and gave it a little CPR.  So now he can play solitaire to occupy his mind.
Now he doesn't have to wake the cat to play cards!
Or drive down to the Casino at two am.
After a long drug happy nap, he trolled the neighborhood in old man fashion.. trying to find out why there were cop cars and spot light helicopters in the hood last night.
He introduced himself and got all the gossip.
Funny thing is, Mom was just saying that we need to get to know the neighbors and exchange numbers and stuff.. maybe have a block party, look out for each other.
I balked at the idea, thought the pigeons were doing a swell job.
Guess I was wrong.. stupid birds.
But the best part of the day for me, was I got a great big hug from Dad.. A just because I love you hug.
So when my sibling tell me they are glad that I am here.. I know I am the lucky one. Wouldn't want in any other way.
Little shit gets her share.
Rhone and Janet are coming this weekend. I am sure he has lots of hugs left to give!
More family fun for the Teenagers!

 Now let's hope he doesn't need to turn on that computer tonight, and gets some solid sleep!
