Blogshorts Day 30

Darting  around like a mouse in a maze

trying to remember while:

     picking up shoes,

               turning off lights,

                        signing papers,

                              buttering toast

That I started by  looking for my keys.

Blogshorts Day 29

My daughter kept looking to her watch.

birthday cake left for later.

They sat in the back seat trying to ignore me

Their blushes warmed the back of my neck.

Blogshorts Day 28

On the other end patience and exasperation

On this end weariness and frustration.

Explaining all this, I feel stupid and petty

I start with "this is a long story......."

Blogshorts Day 26

Love is having someone offer to make you some eggs, when they want to have peanut butter on an english muffin.

Blogshorts Day 25

Through thick and thin

Through gray and fat (both of us now)

The only thing you want is a good scratch, tennis balls and a place to swim....

that and bacon

Blogshorts Day 23

Its the 21st century

Gas station signs are LEDs

A random thought occurred to me.....

Can those little nines be set to another number or do they come like that.......

Blogshorts Day 22

Tonite the kids are coming over.

They come in,  eat, and go out again.

Shared custody?  With the whole world I guess.

I'll leave the light on for them.

Blogshorts Day 24

Lillies, what to do?

In Spring, an annoying weed.

In August,  a flopped over mess, over run with weeds.

But in July, you are a sight to behold

Blogshorts Day 21

Last night I caught another groundhog.

Let it go at Tourne Park.

As much as they have driven me nuts, I feel bad to drive the little buggers out.

Blogshorts Day 20- For the birds

This Spring they moved in

Taking advantage of a broken exhaust fan.

A little noisy but awfully cute.

If you could see them that is.

Dare I boil pasta?

Blogshorts Day 19 - Happy Fathers Day

As I grow older,

I don't know what surprises me more.

That I am becoming more like my father

or that my son is becoming more like me.

Blogshorts Day 18

When I was sixteen I wrecked the car.

My Dad noticed it immediately

As I talked, he didn’t yell, just listened quietly.

It was the only time I told him I loved him.

Blogshorts Day 17

Maddie has her semi-formal today

First, she was going with Danny, but now Matt.

Her boyfriend is Vinny though???

I think popularity must skip a generation every now and then

Blogshorts Day 16 - Yankee stadium

1978, the Bronx terrified me.

It was cold and rainy.

I never was so proud of my father as when he bribed the teller twenty bucks

to sit behind first base.

Blogshorts Day 15

 

Third day at the Y

Everything aches. but still feel great

Once thought having a skinny ass would make me happy

  

Fitness happens in the mind first, the body second.
