Let me tell you something....

...or variations thereof, is Jeth's current catch phrase. I must have heard it at least a dozen times during our 45 minute phone conversation on Friday. He was quite talkative - for a change. The only reason he got off the phone was because Aidan arrived and he had to get ready to leave with his daddy.

It's too bad that Jeth will never know my Dad as my Dad was in his prime - or at least when he was still full of piss and vinegar. I feel it is my duty to play the part of my Dad so that Jeth will get to enjoy his character. Though if I'm honest, there's not much role-playing involved as I've practiced most of the same behaviours for years now.

I haven't been out to see my parents in almost two months. There are many reasons for my inexcusable behaviour.  One is that it takes a hell of a long time to get out there by bus and the other is that I'm still having a hell of a time leaving the house.
