Dog: I see you have cheese. I will now do a series of actions that sometimes please you and result in cheese. I don’t know what stay means. I am going to guess, hope I get cheese. May the odds be ever in your favor.

The thing about having divorced parents in the 1970s is that you spend a lot of time at Grandpa’s house and as a result you learn to weld when you are 6. My brother was changing oil in the LaSaber at age 8. I don’t think he’s had much use for that skill since.

I hope we were all paying attention when Great Depression Grandpa was repairing and reusing stuff instead of Boomer Parents just buying a new one. We will need Grandma and Grandpa’s mad skills in the years to come.

Dog has found an entire dinner roll buried in the backyard and she wants to speak to my supervisor because I had it throw out. Do any of you want to pretend to be my supervisor? I really don’t want to get my Mom involved- she’s biased.

As American politics begins to resemble more and more the plot to the South Park movie, I’ve decided to start drinking and now use two weighted blankets at night.
