John thought it'd be nice to go to that teapot exhibition today, since it's in Long Beach and we're supposed to go to his mom's over there this afternoon anyway. However, when I woke up just before 8:00, I found a sticky note on the TV saying he was going to the hardware store. Well, now it's noon and he's not back yet. We're supposed to go to his mom's at 4:00. By the time he gets back we won't have enough time to go.

He also busted the lid to one of my teapots the other day. Actually, it was one of my parents, but how do you replace a teapot lid? I'd been making coffee in the teapot since he broke the carafe to the coffee maker by throwing something on the counter when he was mad at my dad.

Grrr. Strike three's coming up, buster.

(Oh, I'm not really that mad, but it's frustrating when he disappears for hours at a time like this, and he gives me a hard time when I'm 15 minutes late home from work.)

I made a journal for my father a few months ago, thinking I would put some of his stories in it. It has sat there empty ever since. So today, after a bit of panic when I couldn't remember the password I had set for it, I asked him to tell me a story after I figured it out. It's deadwood_bob, after his SASS handle, if you're interested in some pre-, during, and post-WW II era stories of life in Southern California. I'll try to have him tell me a story on a regular basis - I know he''s full of them, and it will start jogging his memory for when we do the Veteran's History thing. Besides, I need to start talking to my father more. He's not going to be around forever.

Today's was a bit of a funny one.
