Sunday Mush

Not much of a day today. Kind of a chill day I guess and in more ways than one. The sunshine and blue skies belied the chill in the air this morning. It felt more like late September or early October as opposed to Mid-May. That and the numerous flowering trees that were in full bloom everywhere. Woke up with a little bit of energy and plans to start prepping the kitchen for a new paint job. I don't mind any room but the kitchen is a royal pain in the backside. Freaking cupboards everywhere. Sheesh! But I knew it would be interrupted at some point. Had a breakfast rendezvous with a friend. Went to a restaurant called 'Cora's. I chose this restaurant out specifically for the name. The reason being, is that is my mothers name and today she would have turned 75. You see the 'Cora'elation. Oh well! I thought it was amusing.


While I was out I figured I may as well get some groceries seeing as how everything will be locked up tight tomorrow. Everything was going hunky dorey until I got in line to pay. I was emptying my basket when a father and son came up behind me in line. The boy, being a boy, was carrying on a little. No real harm. The father, a little short on patience I guess, snaps and yells at the boy, "Cut it out Doofus". Now, I'm not the most educated man in the world, but I don't recall the name "Doofus" listed anywhere under "Terms of Endearment". Believe me, my head spun so fast and my eyes locked onto this guy so hard I think he may have soiled himself a little. I figured he was so used to dishing out that kind of abuse, it was like second nature to him. He got quiet real quick. What got to me though, was how it seemed like second nature to the little boy too! Pretty sad. I just wonder what was going thru that guys head after the fact. Did he realize what kind of affect that would have on this little guys psyche. Probably not. He was probably just passing on an old family tradition.


Well, that was what was going on in my little part of the world today. Somebody, somewhere is blasting off fireworks practicing for tomorrow I guess. I should see what events are planned but that can wait. Whoa! Hold on a sec. I gotta go check on something....be right back......






Yup! I was afraid of that. The kitchen is still there, taunting me! Oh well.
