Rest rest rest.I hate football too....Sleep, woman. Rest rest rest.<BR/><BR/>I hate football too. I'd totally forgotten about it today. I was out gardening most of the day and the neighborhood was so strangely quiet, in a way it usually isn't: there were no dog walkers, almost no traffic. No faint sounds of music...<BR/><BR/>Where I live is nicely quiet but this was different. I was really puzzled.<BR/><BR/>Then I splurged when I shouldn't and went to Lotus Chinese Kitchen for my REward dinner after working so hard outside. And I said how quiet it was, in the restaurant too. And they told me.<BR/><BR/>Surprise surprise! HA! You could have knocked me over with a feather. <BR/><BR/>Years ago, I made a sort of *duty* phone call to a second cousin who was like an uncle, growing up. I don't like him much, he was a real jerk to us kids, with his mean teasing and haha NOT funny little jokes. But he lived in Boca, not far from me in Pompano Beach, and I felt it was time to call him up - he had a heart condition.<BR/><BR/>It was Superbowl Sunday. And this guy and his WHOLE family are football NUTS.<BR/><BR/>I never heard the end of that one. *Yeah, nobody but k would have done something like that...*<BR/><BR/>I never called him again. He passed away a few years ago. I did go to part of his funeral send-off, for the sake of his oldest son, who has Down syndrome.<BR/><BR/>Vic Jr. wouldn't understand if I didn't go. I just can't manage events because of the health issues. But his kids were having a sort of party, gathering at a boat to go scatter his ashes. So I met them by the docked boat, and visited for a while.<BR/><BR/>Home safe. Be safe and rest, now. There's nothing wrong about not liking football and needing to rest. That's just life. Everyone is different that way.<BR/><BR/>I expect you're far better to those football loving inlaws than I was to Vic Sr.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.com
