Sitting in the front Italianate garden today with the boys, my parents and friend Ann. The conversation is always interesting. For instance, Alex made the comment with regard to his Courage Museum Presentation about WWII, “I would bring a Chinese made weapon as a sample, but they have banned guns from school.” Conversation about such things and how long a cockroach can live without its head are prevalent. Even the idea of sending farm raised shrimp to mingle with our general native shrimp population to dilute the strength of our stock raised its head. Interesting stuff…HOWEVER…and there is almost always a HOWEVER…
Alex, my youngest determined that most anything can be solved by fixing it with duct tape, treating it with Windex or our friend Ann’s thought that Neosporin can cure most ailments eventually took over the conversation. Alex felt that if a submarine sprung a leak, then you should add duct tape. If you get a zit, then according to the wisdom of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you should apply Windex. Ann was amazed on Easter that she grew up not knowing the power of Neosporin for the curative powers within. All that and Alex thinks he is seeing Starlings floating about in the air above us…I think it is just our friend, another Ms. Ann (Starling) …circling above like the angel she is and enjoying the conversation. My mom thinks that she is just enjoying the Friday night laughter. I think she is right. Drew is in the garage playing keyboards as background music…specifically… Jump by Van Halen…must have been the live concert last night. In any case, duct tape, music, Windex or Neopsporin…this is a well-glued group with lots of love and healing laughter.
