But What About The Burrito? (Part Three)

Nutsy

My old man. He was born almost a hundred years ago, give or take a handful of years.      I find that amazing.      Myself, I'm closer to the end of my life than the beginning.  I'll only understand what my Dad's going through--how he feels--when I get there.      When I was about 10 years-old I broke my leg doing something stupid.  Hey, I was a kid.  Doing stupid things was my job.  Have you ever heard of anybody breaking their leg doing something smart?      I don't remember how I got to the hospital, but I do remember when I got there my Dad was already there, waiting for me.  He was dressed in his police uniform.  Some nurses may have looked at him and swooned, because my Dad was a pretty handsome guy, especially in his uniform, but, to me, I looked at him and just saw my Dad.  He lifted me up in his arms and carried me into the emergency room.  ...

I Know, I Know... Dumb Idea (part two)

  I was feeling playful.      "Knock knock," I told my beautiful wife.      "Who's there?" she asked.      "The love of your life," I said.      "Chocolate who?" she answered.      Okay, that wasn't quite the reply I was looking for. I was looking for one thing that might lead to another, but, although beautiful, my wife is a bit of a joker.       So's my father.       For example, we were at a family gathering this past Easter when my cousin's toddler was acting up. Too much sugar would be  my  guess.      "Sorry," my cousin said, "she's a bit spoiled."      "No need to apologize," my father said, wrinkling his nose, "they all smell that way."      But the time I'm actually thinking of is when my wife and I made the mistake of leaving an ongoing Scrabble game unattended, and our dog, who eats  anything  ...
