Rebellion

Father's Day is this Sunday.  Company is coming.  Dave is on an antibiotic so maybe his sleepiness will diminish. My Dad was similar to my hubby in many ways but extremely different in others.  My Dad would take extra care of his tools, wrapping them in an oil cloth to put them safely away in the garage.  Dave would leave his tools where he was last using them.  One time my Dad said, "Your hammer is out in the yard."  Dave would reply, "I know."  So, what created this lack of care on Dave's part?  He tells me his Dad made him the clean-up boy.  After building houses all day, it was Dave who had to  pick up everything.  Hence, a rebellion was building.

It was Dave's attitude towards life that must have kept me attracted to him.  I look back on our hippie days, Viet Nam war era. Maybe he was right, life is too short, so why worry about the small stuff?
