Bring the Boy To Work
Okay I’m back at work. Brought my son to work with me today because we are going to the baseball game at Minutemaid Park tonight. Cannot afford to leave early again. Don’t know who is playing, but I’m betting the home team is the Astros? Wonder who’s pitching? I used to be such a big fan when I was kid. Read the sports page everyday and bored people with stats ad nauseum… Now I go to a game and I’m like, who are those guys? Same is true for football and basketball. I follow the NHL a little closer, especially the Phoenix Coyotes, but after no season last season I don’t know if I care about them either.
Wish I was still playing hockey. It’s so much fun, the pushing and shoving. Moving the puck up the ice, scoring a goal, getting bashed in the boards after scoring a goal. Doing stuff when the ref is looking the other way. Man I need to shed 60 pounds and sharpen my blades. I could keep the weight off when I was skating at least 3 times a week. Prolly not gonna happen. Too expensive with da kids in private school.
The drive was kind of nice with the boy this morning. I pointed out this one nice ranch house with a huge cow field in the front and trees all along the sides and back. Good feng shui there. I asked how he’d like that for a front yard? He thought it was too big. I told him with that much room we’d get dirt bikes or 4 wheelers and chase cows all day. He liked that idea. I’m not sure how the cows would feel about it.

Youre son must only be a bit younger than me right? What, 20 - 22?

No he’s 12. Still just a rascal that thinks girls are strange and should be avoided. Though he did say this one girl is cute the other day. So things may be changing quickly during the next school year. Makes sense. He will be in Middle School next year.
If I have son near your age I am unaware of him.

Well goes to show that your boy is smart: girls are strange.
I on the other hand still can’t seem to avoid them though.

Yeah but girls are nice strange, except when they stink. And then of course it depends on whether its aroma or reek.
Woman are so complex. (sighs)

At 12, he’s right, girls are strange and at my age, they have even more cooties. How nice that he went to work with you-did he enjoy it? How did the game go?

He liked hanging out at work. Though his time was spent finishing the new Harry Potter book and playing Megaman on his Nintendo DS.
The game was fun. He did not want to leave when it was over.
