Section 2 – About a Father

In order to understand this post, you should read part 1 first. ===================== I was captivated by the lady at my side.  The one I was asked to take to the party.  Absolutely captivated. My job was a seven day a week gig delivering newspapers. roughly 2,000 papers a night.  Double that on Sundays.  So I had to escort her back to her friends and pick up my daughter. Later that evening, when I showed up to deliver papers to the lady that I had wanted to date forever, I asked for a phone number. Give you a hint here.  It wasn’t for the lady I had wanted to date forever.  It was for my date to the Christmas party. I was so afraid to call her.  So I asked a friend to make the first call for me.  Yep you guessed it.  I asked the lady I was delivering

Section 1 – About a father

Thinking of my family at this late hour.  It is 1am here.  2am back home. I am on vacation and can’t sleep.  All but one family member is at home in Casa de Familia. I was working a night job delivering newspapers.  One night I happened to deliver to a business that had an old friend working.  I had worked with this person in a previous job when I was still in high school.  I wanted to date her more than I wanted anything in this life. I wanted to show her that men are not all assholes like her ex-husband and the other riffraff that she went out with.  One night, she invited me to a Christmas party at a hotel with some friends. It so happens that I had my daughter that weekend.  What better way to woo a woman than to introduce a small child.  So I

Relaxation while on vacation

Today marks day 4 of my vacation.  We toured the Little Big Horn Battlefield today.  I wish that I had no health problems. I wish that I had full use of my legs and no balance issues.  My legs work, but I don’t know from moment to moment if they are going to support me.  I walk with canes.  So we toured the site from the comfort of our mini-van.  Ahh… the feel of air-conditioning. Here is one of the photos I took today. It was an enjoyable visit in that I spent time with my eldest daughter.  On the other hand, being a veteran, it was sad to ponder the fate of all participants in the battle.  Both Native American and US Troops.  I can’t imagine the horror that must have gone through the minds of some of the men as they realized that there was no hope of
