2.)Are you going to celebrate it? Since it’s a Friday night we might. We haven’t really discussed it.
3.)Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Friends or someone Special? My wife IS my best friend. I’ll be by her side.
4.)Pink or red? Black or blue? Your turn.
5.)Candy Hearts OR cards? Punch in the stomach or one in the jaw? Your turn.
6.)A short kiss or a big hug? Oh fucking shoot me.
7.)What are your plans for V-day? This is just question two wrapped in different paper.
8.)What would be the best gift to receive? A radio station. It can be a small one if you’d like.
9.)Would get back with any of your ex’s for V-day? [editor’s note: Bud misread the question. He thought he was asked if he’d like to get things back from an ex…] The massive amounts of jewelry I gave my first wife. Hate is a strong word. But I really, really really don’t like her. I’ve made a lot over how bad my ex The Dragon Lady is, but compared to my first wife, The Dragon Lady was a class act.
10.)Is there a food or beverage you associate with V-day? Smirnoff. But I associate a lot of days with it.
11.) What are your thoughts on “Love at first sight”? I only believe in lust at first sight. If it ever turns to love, you think it was at first sight. Love takes time to happen in anyone other than your children.
12.)Do you think people who have dated can stay friends? Yes. But not once a new lover is involved. Or, in my experience, they fall back in love with you which forces you to cut it off. Usually right after you give them a last roll in the hay for old times’ sake.
13.) If you could go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice about dating or relationships what would it be? Don’t get married until thirty so you neither make a huge mistake or take your eye off the ball for your career.
I took my dad out to a piano bar. The meal was $200 + tip. (he paid!) Seeing him sing again: Priceless. It’s the first time I’ve done it in years. He hadn’t drank in a long time and is very frail. He got very drunk but had a great time. At 88, it is a new ballgame. I had to undress him and get him to bed. Kathy drove us (an hour & a half that she’ll never get back) and was terrific. Meanwhile, we are trying to get our blog legs back. The tough part is not playing the Bud Weiser single skirt chaser. Of course I was never as heartless as I portrayed which I think came across since most of this blogs readers have always been women. But I’ve been with Kathy just about four years, so I will have to be funny without playing a single guy. Kathy is my third wife. Last night my dad said I got it right this time. Peace & love. We will return. Same blog, same time.
Sounds like the piano bar and singing was a great time! How good for your dad to get out like that. I hope he’s not too sick today. 😉
I’m going to bring him food today, so I’ll find out… 😉
Dude- I’m so jealous of you taking your dad out and having a good time. That is worth more than the stinking jewelry you gave out that is probably sitting in a pawn shop somewhere anyway right now.
You’re right, but the serious health issues now are scary…
That cartoon is priceless! I’m stealing it to send to my DDs. Glad you had a good time out with your Dad. Sounds like HE had a very good time, too!
Thanks so much!
I love your dad’s comment about you and Kathy! As far as your “blog legs” … I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. There is much to say about a good relationship. There is much to say about navigating the work waters at this point in your career. EVERYBODY talks about the dating and break ups. EVERYBODY talks about trying to establish work/private life priorities in their 20s/30s. Bringing your wit and insights to where your life is now could be very interesting and very funny for us to read. (I’ll get off my soapbox now.)
You are WAY too kind! Once I can say “Now that was funny” I’ll be happy…
