On a Side Note…

So it seems Pop’s faithful li'l Nissan truck (the one that was already well into middle age when they left San Diego 12 years ago) finally kicked the bucket rather unexpectedly yesterday. So, the folks are thinking up options for a new vehicle very soon. Mom’s none too thrilled to be spending the weekend before Thanksgiving car hunting (especially when they have a guest coming for dinner), but life sometimes fails to acknowledge convenient moments to throw shit at us.

Mom told me this morning that they're thinking of sending the ol' dood to stay with Paulie at the junk yard. You know, providing some sort of familiarity and a poetic destination for both of them since they shared a garage for so long at one time.

Yeah, sounds pretty silly, but sometimes one just needs to be a li'l silly to feel better about things.
