I was talking to my son Garrett today. He is off at college.
Big sigh.
Anyway, always the flirt, he said he doesn’t have a girlfriend right now. I told him that at his age (19 almost 20) he doesn’t need a girlfriend. He said he’d like a girlfriend. I told him that I’d like my just finished novel to be on the NYT best seller list too. OK I didn’t tell him that. I told him just to have fun. I mean, isn’t that what being a young Vampire is all about?
Both of my kids are “single.” They’re teens. They don’t need the complications of steady relationships. Garrett had high school girlfriends, but nobody serious in college.
He said he liked a girl but their politics were so different that no matter how pretty she was he had a difficult time listening to her. Plus he just doesn’t want to talk about politics. Can you blame him right now?
When it comes to love you don’t always have to pick someone. Sometimes you can just let things play out and let the choice be made by the fates. Especially if you’re only nineteen.
Pick and Poll. Back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s I had a Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. When it ran it was a blast. Unfortunately it rarely ran. Fiat stands for Fix It Again Tomorrow. Anyway, I used to go down to the Pick-and-Pull auto wreckers for cheap parts. I found that if I wore a cute fuzzy baby blue or peach colored sweater with a low neckline and low back the guys would give me parts for free. No, I’m not going to advise that kind of behavior to my kids.
Oh, on that thought, you have a choice. Vote and vote often.

I almost voted for Benadryl Pumpkinpatch. I don’t know, you’ve got some good choices unlike our current upcoming ballot.
Sorry about the Anonymous. I’m on my new phone and haven’t figured it out. Amelia
Good choice for any vote. Of course this is an unscientific poll but all of the news media outlets will be checking back here later today.
Have fun with the new phone.
I voted Teapot Dome all the way…
HA HA HA HA HA.
You can shove the Door Mouse in there too!
Prez Harding would be proud of you for knowing your history. Not so much for me. I just realized I left the G out.
You can’t forget the G, or it’s time to regulate….
Awesome!
Of course I had to vote for the endearing Vlad! He might make some interesting and surprisingly good decisions based on his naivety. 🙂
A vote for Vlad is always good. Vote for Pedro too. I’ll have to add him to the list. So far Vlad is getting a lot of votes, along with the goat.
😀
“Fiat stands for Fix It Again Tomorrow” That’s about like Ford – Fix or Repair Daily !
I think I’ll vote for Ralph Nader. Anything he feels is bad for us will be banned and we won’t have anymore problems…., right ??? 🙂
So far the goat is getting a lot of votes on my poll.
I own three Fords (1966, 2012 and 2013.) I gotta say that I haven’t had any problems. The Fiat and any British cars on the other hand…that is an entirely different kind of machine.
Hmmmm… I thought Uranus was interesting to vote for. 😀
It is the planet that makes all kids laugh.
It’s also a Romain God. 😉
