One of these days, I am going to have to collect all the stories I have about my dad and put together a book of humorous essays about the man.
I spoke to him on the phone yesterday. He mentioned he was going to go see my grandmother. My grandmother is a HUGE spurs fan. Somewhere, he got her a photo of Parker, Duncan and...

They're Coming to Get You, Barbara
I come home yesterday from work around 7. As I drive up in front of my house I notice someone has left a shopping cart right at the curb by where I park my car.
"Ha ha! I DO live in the ghetto. Shopping Cart! How quaint! I shall take a photo of this and write a humorous journal...

Dear Gentiles,
Normally I'm pretty proud to be a Jew. But sometimes, man, I have to admit you do your holiday's well.
And we have more than a few holidays that just seem to match up. Xmas and Channukah and Easter and Passover
As you probably are unaware, yesterday was the first day of passover. This is our "Holy Fuck,...

Overt liers drive me nuts. There is an art to lying that those people just don't understand.

The next 48 hours in a nutshell:
10am-12:00pm - Listen to The Lounge Show
12:00pm - make sure the last few bits of my costume are ready.
2:00pm - Do a few quick runthroughs of my dance
6:00pm - Shower, shave legs, do makeup, hair, etc.
7:45pm - Leave the house so I can make it the Louisiana Swamp Thing and Crawfish Festival by 8:15....

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not at al that "hep". Do people still say "hep"? See! So very very uncool.
But beyond my lack of the grasp of modern vernacular, the thing that really lowers my cool kid points is my celebrity crush. Or crushes.
I am coming out of the closet now and say that I am a sucker for NPR radio personalities and...

toothpickmoe and i went to the live This American Life show at UCLA a couple weeks ago and came in our pants. There we saw John Hodgeman, my BFF, LYLAS Sarah Vowell and Dan Savage. AND of course, my Ira. Mr. Glass brings new meaning to words like sheepish and awkward, but his wit and .....oh god, he's just so wonderful.......
i love you all the more for loving my radio family. (ira told an hilarious story about going to an OKGO gig with peter!)

You think that lowers your cool kid points? It rasies them a milliondy, at least with the people that really matter. 
When one of your best friends and often partner in crime tells you
"so, im learning all about brokering items on Everquest..."
you can pretty much forget ever seeing them in the light of day again...
Also, Boston folks. What the shit is Regatta weekend? I know it has something to do with boats. And the fact that hotels near where my friend is getting...

In the last few years, I have lost my ability to be tactful. It is like that filter between my brain and mouth has disapeared.
Today, my friend shows me a pic of some friend she reunited with when she went back home to Smallsville, Tx or wherever she is from. She's now in love with him.

Today, while helping a friend fix computer things, I was asked "were you smacked around when you were younger". I have always had trouble knowing how to respond to frustrated, angry people that I care about. Not even talking about being angry or frustrated at me. But angry and frustrated around me. The louder someone else gets, the quieter I become.

I think you would be the bestest mom ever! going through what you did will only strengthen your resolve to tell your child that you love them daily. You are too damn smart to fall into that trap. Just don't smother them with those big breasteses of yours.

My mother gave my father's father a dictaphone years back and told him to tell his stories. And he did. One of the best gifts she and he have ever given the family.
