Well, it’s a Monday!

I had a nice long weekend this go round, with food and fun and a little work. Friday was a semi busy day with paychecks and a little work in the office. Later I ran home to hang out with Luke and his mob one final night.
It’s been a lot of fun to have him home again, even more so with the little ones to play with. I’m still trying to dry up the baby drool everywhere and toys and other items scattered here and there.
Saturday was ok; Pops was in a rant over finding some lost items of Jacks. It’s as if he wants to erase him completely from his existence. It all stems from the fact that Jacks refuses to work for him -- just as I did. When Jacks was very young, he wanted to be just like Pops, something I never could figure out why. He is an architect with his own firm, something Jacks also wants. They both love to draw, mainly landscapes and buildings. My Pops saw a virtual goldmine with Jacks coming on board, someone he could mold and twist into the little worker bee he’s always dreamed of.
After multiple tirades and rants and childish acts, Jacks saw that being around him wasn’t the life he wanted. His dreams of working with him flew out the window and he chose another path to lead.
I spoke of him briefly Saturday with Jacks new love, she calls him a very clever name of “Pussy with a beard”. It fits him to a tea; she doesn’t know all the problems we have had with the old man in the past. Nor, how our Pops was “PC” pre cancer times, the father that you could be proud of, anyway, she kept me entertained most of Saturday, while I waited on customers and did some book work.
That night, Emily (My Gs friend) came over to say goodbye to Luke and see what might be up. I chose to go out a while and invited her to tag along. Figuring she might be afraid of the gang – she fit right in. Scary thought, to know someone else is like our group of mongrels.
Sunday was the usual, church and then Gs for a ton of food, the paper and a nap. I wanted to get out on my bike a while and hit the breeze but the rains set in. Maybe tonight I can venture out a while before it gets too dark.
