Great episode! Sorry just now responding. Life, you know. At any rate I'm 59 and it hit me when I had a 20 something try to tell me how to do something. I used all the usual tropes ( I was doing this before you were even a twinkle in your dad's eye!". Love ya brother and keep it up! Happy belated Father's Day!
As my dear dead daddy would say, it's hot as the hinges of hell.
One of my better ideas: I found old black and white photos from the late 40's and early 50's of my dad holding my brother when he was a baby and I wasn't even a bad dream yet.
So, for Father's Day, I took them to the family gathering so my brother's children and grandchildren could see them. Some old pictures of my parents, a studio portrait of my brother and me, grinning... I want to do a memory book with photos, stories, and captions because what else do I have to give to these people but memories. And it's up to me now. My brother is having difficulty with walking and remembering. (The problem is being worked on but the doctors can't agree on what might actually be wrong.)
I bet you're a good daddy. The world needs more of them.
My flowers are on life support this week, so I'd better go give them a drink of water.
I remember the first time I noticed myself involuntarily grunt when standing from a kneeling position. My first thought was, “oh, god no…” then it was, “it had BEGUN!” It’s been a quick ride down hill, since then.
Y’all still have stores that are open in your mall?!?! I mean, besides the kiosks selling cell phone cases and off-brand cologne. Because that’s all the fuck there is left in my mall.
Thanks for the Monday afternoon pick me up! It’s still only 2 PM here in Portland, but it’s been a hell of a day. Going to eat inside a fast food restaurant is a way less expensive solution than what I chose to do which was purchase tickets to go see Sturgill Simpson. Life is short, buy the tickets is my motto.
Re: your JcPenney moment…At 51. I’m at the point where I have “holy shit“ moments all the time simply by seeing a picture of someone I went to high school with…I think “who is that old person?” and realize they’re my age.
I hope Amber’s ankle isn’t broken and happy belated Father’s Day!
Hey man - just because you got problems of your own doesn't mean you can't try to help other people with theirs. I appreciate you, chief! Thanks for the well-needed pick-me-up on a Monday! Happy belated Father's Day!!
I was down yonder last week (Cleveland TN) and the weather was perfect! I did some solid porch sitting with my parents. If it helps, even us NYC yankees are suffering this week.

I felt old the first time I saw a gray hair after a trip to the barber.

Rory had a total collapse, just wanted to get the hell out of there…✌️💙😎
My fat ass, is in the Tampa Bay Area. It seems other than the couple weeks in January and February, it’s always hot and I don’t like it! ✌️💙😎
