City of Legends

I know I have been quiet the last few days.  Much of this has been because I have been out of town and out of touch.

Friday night my nephew, Joshua, was married.  I travelled down to Wytheville, Virginia, to attend the simple but very sweet service.  I like his new bride, she is very pleasant to talk with and I think it will do him some good.

Saturday was my father’s 86th birthday.  He and my mother were down at my sister’s for Josh’s wedding, so I and the boys (Elric and Dante) had come down not just for the wedding, but to see my Dad and spend some time with him.

Saturday morning we went with him and my mother to a friend’s house who restores antique cars and they posed for photos with a 1933 (the year my mother was born) Buick and a 1923 (the year my father was born) Chevrolet Superior.  Then we took a ride in the Chevy.  Nice car and well restored.

On the way back I and the boys bonded by listening to a recording of Denis Leary’s classic "I’m an Asshole" song, which they joined in with me in singing along with.  It’s a guy thing.
