Watched an interesting movie on IFC last weekend. "The Assassination of Richard Nixon", starring Sean Penn. Fascinating, watching the intricacies of the mental undoing of a lost soul. Disenchanted by and disengaged from his country. It takes place in 1974. Do tell...what has changed, in regard to being disenchanted? Same old song. (Done me wrong.)
My fifteen year old is giving me what-for. As it should be, I suppose.These are the times I'd love to have my mother around. She'd be kind about things, while secretly loving how payback works. It's funny, you never think your kids will find you annoying, or old. They do.
The most surprising thing this week is that my love is leaving for Kona, Hawaii this Thursday. We found this out yesterday. It seems his father's health is failing. Fast. So he will go and care for him. Although their home is a paradise, it won't be vacation-like. In fact, G will be afraid to leave him alone for even a minute. What's sad is that he and his dad were just starting to be pals again. I hope things turn around. Life's full of strange surprises.
I didn't even watch the CNN/YouTube Debate. (Speaking of disenchanted.) Apparently, the most popular video/question went unanswered by the candidates. Are you surprised? Me neither. I did see Christopher Dodd's response, but didn't really count that as an actual answer.

I wish that video had been broadcast to the candidates last night. Probably the most important question. I know my answer.
I hope your partner's dad recovers and finds good health again.
Chris Dodd answered it, though not with the answer I'd like to hear from Congress.
May Dad feel better soon, and may your time without your lucky significant other pass peacefully!
I saw pieces of the debates when I came home from work at 3:30AM; they sent me to the bookshelf to look for an old friend. One you remember...I wrote a bit about it today.

Chris Dodd's apparent off the cuff answer, was almost verbatum what he said in the debate on NBC. He didn't answer the question, of course, but tried to show his humanity and compassion, if not his political balls.
Hope Dad bounces back - you never know. At least G and Dad are at the ponit where dad can call him to come help. What a blessing for both of them.
Ah, payback. It's nature's way of helping you get ready to KICK THEIR ASS OUT THE DOOR. Wink.
I am going to be old AND annoying one day?
