I didn’t ask why, knowing he wouldn’t tell me.  When I got to Brookdale, Dad was in bed door open, wearing only his underwear.  Shit.

 Hello there, Childrens.  I made this in the hope that I have said that for the last time: I am neither a black chef that serves The Precocious in Colorado, nor am I Isaac Hayes (sic).  This is your Dad.  And here is my life, such as it is.  I intend to document to document The Present best as I can. It is not for amusement. Though that was my main source of inspiration, motivation or excuse, it has turned ineffective, if not counter-productive.  No one need subscribe or comment: you would be the first of a hundred that did, given others in the same situation.  However, any comment would be sincerely appreciated.  Signed, RickCabello@Gmail.Com Grampa, Virgo .
