   Fortunately, that’s over. The port worker strike is suspended, but even then it was silly since toilet paper is produced domestically and doesn’t pass through he ports.

   I remember a standup comedian once saying, “I look at those people who say, ‘I used to drink out of a lead-line and look how I turned out.” To which I respond, “That’s exactly why we no longer drink out of lead-lined hoses.”

   Wish I had a good answer. With kids, I think you just do what you have to do at the moment, and afterward you decompress. It always helped to see that even though they had a cast on or a brace of some sort, they were essentially safe and happy. They were rather proud of their many injuries. The only one that shook me to the core was when one son got a bad concussion that kept him out of school for two weeks and left him with headaches for even longer. Our boys, now grown, are still athletic and adventurous, so the idea of them getting hurt is still always at the back of my mind. But my mom used to say that once we kids were born, she never slept right again. And we were all in our fifties by then. I wish you good luck! But I’m sure you know it’s well worth the anxiety.

   I don’t think I have ever gotten 8 hours of sleep in a row my entire life. These days, if I get 6, I’m ecstatic. Five is much more common.

   Paying taxes is for the little people. We billionaires pay politicians.

   One day my son admitted he didn’t want to do something his friends were pressuring him to do. It was nothing bad, but he felt forced into it. I told him that anytime he didn’t want to do something that he felt peer pressure to do, he could blame his stupid old dad who wouldn’t let him do it. He apparently used that one several times over the years.

    We had two measurable snowfalls last winter, and the snow did not stick around. It rarely got colder than the 20s. Back in the day, I used to make an ice rink in the backyard each year. That became impossible long ago. Never stays cold enough long enough.
