Quarterbacking continued...

Sunday was full of the stuff I did not do over the past week or so from being dizzy. I ran around and bought stuff to plant a garden (rose bushes, begonias, marigolds, petunias, black-eyed Susans) – it’s a late garden for me but I promised the landlord and it felt good to plant a garden and be working with the soil. I did laundry and cleaned; went to hang with Mr. C for a bit (there was SUPPOSE to be a party; I was promised a party! *stomps foot and pouts* (*laughs*) – then in the evening I hung out with my son – he was back from going to Cedar Point with his dad and all sunburned and we watched one of my (his too) all–time favourite movies and one that I don’t think gets enough praise because it borders on being a cult classic : ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ – simply put this movie rocks.

As we were watching my son and I talked (I love talking with my son he’s one of the more intelligent people I know). We talked about movies and we talked about music – he told me he had given his band’s bassist some David Bowie to listen to…then he asked me if I had ever seen the film ‘Labyrinth’ – I indicated I had a long time ago – he asked me if I enjoyed it – I indicated I had not – then he laid into me listing the 4 or 5 reasons why that film was so great – one of them being Jim Henson’s muppets but as he put it the main reason was the ‘moral of the story’, which is (and I quote) – ‘That you should love your little brother no matter what even if he is a pain in the ass and you have to babysit him. Mom, did my sister see this movie??? I mean she must have cause if not I’d be dead right now!’ – something in the way he delivered this statement got to me and I started laughing and so did he and soon we were laughing so hard we were crying...my son is the ONLY human on earth that can make me laugh like this...he’s incredible.

After that we walked down by the lake and watched the sunset together while he played his guitar. It was a beautiful way to end a great evening. Thanks son.
