The Cabin Fever Rant n Rave.
Dear Joe:
Today, I am
getting some cabin fever. Not that the winter has been too long, it’s just I
not getting into it this year. As you know my wife and I are raising our ten
year old grandson and he is getting smarter by the day as I seem to be going in
the opposite direction. The wife is not having this problem. Why is that?
Gravity is
the answer. I am on the slippery slope and seem to be picking up speed. That is
scary. Yes, I have turned a milestone year in my life according to the experts
in the Family. I was always blessed with a lot of smart people in my life aka
“know-it-alls”. So, you know you are automatically stupid as soon as they are
in our house.
I usually
call it our Home, but they quickly reduce this to a house and I want them
out-ta my house. Furthermore as much as I try to love them, I don’t like them.
Know, whom I am speaking about? The, pain-in-da-butts, but that is not nearly
an accurate description.
Shit, they
have an opinion about everything including my recent operation to “parts
unknown” and they know all about it. How in the hell did you find all this out?
I have not said a word other than it was a “mannish problem”. Well, if they got
paid for all this knowledge and shared that with me, I would be well off and a
free man.
Next, I
don’t want all the advice, I rather learn on the run. And, assuming they never
had, what I had, I don’t want to know what the worst case scenario might look
like. That is scary enough knowing they know, what I don’t know, you know?
What’s,
worst, they think I am the salt of the earth and they love me and profess this
to me constantly. Wtf, am I doing wrong? I treat them nicely because I don’t to
embarrass the Family and this makes me a saint. “They”, say Karma pay-back is a
bitch. Seems, I need to examine my soul and find out where on the road I fell
off.
Well, its
ten o’clock somewhere, I need to have some red wine, which I keep hid behind
the computer monitor, camouflaged and I
drink this from a 500 mL chili sauce jar ; will that will throw them off? Aka,
why is poppa so happy?
So, what the
hell was I talking about? Another sip of the golden nectar will surely make me
recall. You have noticed that I have successfully rambled on about nothing and
you have learned that growing older gracefully can’t happen to everyone. Everybody is nutsy and you tell them that and
they laugh. I, guess they know already.
Sorry, I
better close off before this becomes well-worn. I have just aged to the 70 year
plateau, which means goose egg to me, but everyone else is celebrating. I
always thought they were nuts and this proves my case. Well, thanks for
enduring this and you should be on your second 500 ml jar half-full of wine by now.
Thanks for
fixing the snow blower, be sure to drop in soon and we can have some distilled mosquito
bite to ward off the cold.
Yours humble-bull-lee,
Bruce
