Saturday thoughts

I am back. A rare Saturday post. I have to say that I had a good time at the ball game with the Lad last night. The Wife had brought him in all hopped up on caffeine, so I was thinking I was in for a non-stop chatterfest. He gets that from my mother in law who has been known to go on and on, ad nauseum, without actually saying anything.

The funny thing, and I mean in this in sort of an ironic and synchronistic way, and I may have mentioned this before, I have long seen a great parallel between my mother in law and aunt (the remaining sibling, middle child, from my father's side of the family. Both of my mother's siblings are still with us). Both were born about five months apart in the early 30s. Both were very bright and sympathetic women, who ended up at Commerce high schools and ended up as bookkeepers. You can talk to both, or at least them speak for a good half an hour, and then cannot figure out the "point" of the talking (what the hell they were saying or better yet, why were they telling you).

The best, and saddest, is that they are both battling cancer. In fact, when my mother in law was in for her blood work on the Tuesday before they put in her feeding tube, who should they (she and the Wife) run into? That is right, my aunt, uncle and cousin, doing the blood work before they started the treatment for my aunt's colon cancer.

Funny how that all works, huh?

The game was a good one last night, at least in terms of home runs. The people sitting next to me were fucking annoying, though. Some 20ish dude and three chicks of the same vintage. Fuck, they should just shut up as they were loud and boring. That is why I hate public events, it is the public! Fuck 'em all, that is what I say. Go postal on their asses! Of course, I know the gun can be turned on me, so I try to stay home. I am a lot of things but stupid is not one of them.

Besides, those "nachos" they were eating stunk to high hell. They assaulted my ears and my nose. I believe that you can get a free pass if you only insult one sense, but more than one and there should be hell to pay. I guess I have just instituted a new "rule" in my life. That is now how I will judge the world around me.

Gonna run, enjoy the sun and rest of this glorious day! Ciao!
