Wednesday visits with the redheads have turned into “Ted Lasso” night. Someday the Shepkids will have great memories of watching an American football coach lead a team in the EPL.
There once was a chubby kid who spent Saturday nights with his mommy watching “The Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island.” Great memories from a similar period in my life, newly divorced parents.
Today’s quote comes from last night’s episode and Fritz was the one who decided it was perfect for The Morning Chalkboard.
A father gave his son this advice after a tragic incident happened. Instead of fighting someone who has hurt you, forgive them.
Sound advice in a time when the world is antagonistic and hateful.
Fritz is more the philosophic Shepley who thought this approach is the best way to go into the summer before his freshman year in high school.
Hazel on the other hand had that expression on her angelic face…. “Fuck that advice, Stand up and fight Until you hear the bell, that final bell, Stand up and fight like hell!"
There are only a few shows left in the final season. We will need to find something else to bond with this summer. I think the Summer of 2023 is the perfect time to introduce “The Godfather” movies to the Shepkids.
It is already Thursday and we are rolling into the last weekend of April. It’s ”Spring Fling” weekend in Riverside. A dozen live bands across the town making music for charity.
It’s a great event for a great cause!
It is also the last dry weekend for me. This year is the longest period without alcohol for me since I was a sophomore in high school.
“Orange whip, Orange whip, three orange whips!”
Today my Aunt B and Uncle Chris celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary. That means forty nine years ago my chubby thighs were rubbing together in a pair of polyester pants. I almost set the pew on fire from the heat generated from the walk to the church.
Happy anniversary you two love cats. Next year is a milestone.
