Oct. 22nd, 2003 03:24 pmI have been after John to go see Al Franken tonight at Cal Tech. It's a book signing, so it's free. The kids are sick again so one of us will have to stay home, and I don't want him giving me, "I never get to leave the house, but I don't want to go anywhere by myself." I want him to go have some fun, and see someone who will make him laugh.
He called and told me he's going to go. Good. I told him he should take his friend Jerry, who just lost his job and could use a laugh as well.
And I already bought the damn book, anyhow.

Date: 2003-10-23 08:03 am (UTC)I didn't go; I wanted him to go by himself. However, he was putzing around with stuff he said he had to finish and didn't leave until 7:15 (it started at 8 ). He ran into traffic and didn't get there until 8:30. I think he still could've got in, but he got too frustrated trying to find a place to park, so he gave up and went to his Dad's in Carson.
Then he decided to have a talk with him about being more involved with his grandchildren (the man has never even seen Avalon - the man has had a case of PTSD since he came back from Vietnam)and decided he's going to give up on him.
So much for him having some fun.
