bb – as much as it rattles my cage, i am thankful that both of my children are comfortable talking to me. i suspect if he ever really ends up in prison, he’ll be the bookie… the boy’s got a talent for it.

Hey girl, communicate with lad. He is ambitious, has plans and knows where he is going, and is realistic about his graft! Encourage him to foster his inner hooch talent! It’s good to talk!

kyknoord – when writing about interactions with my children, i will generally run it past them before publishing. he made a specific point to remind me that he’d said “when” not “if”. yes. i noticed….

az – also part of the follow-up conversation was a discussion of homebrewing beer… with my marketing skills, i could perhaps supplement my retirement income by sponging off my son.

nm – he has said on more than one occasion “my mom doesn’t cook. she distills’ in regard to my ‘jello shot fabrication process’, which is rather efficient.

awalkabout – industrious from the day he gained mobility, this one has always been up to something. we caught him loan-sharking his sister when he was about 8 years old. “industrious”. that’s a nice way to look at it!

And see? All those people complaining that young men today aren’t industrious and looking for a job….

Notice he said ‘brewmaster’ and not ‘hooch maker’, so there’s still hope. Might end up with his own chain of microbreweries … ?

You did notice he said “when” and not “if”?

paisley – The Girl owes him the beer. Until she turned 21, her little brother was buying her Guinness for her. Glad you see the humor, too…

uncle keith – true. and if he ever does land in prison? imagine the opportunities for blog-fodder? i thought i’d be able to get through my demons out here in a couple years. if he gets his any more in touch with his inner redneck? i’ll be writing for decades…
