So my Oldman had a bit to say on my June 28th post:

you know why you got friends do you ever wonder why you got a father i often wonder about both a theory i broach to you about papa especially if pa inclines to write and talk a pa is usually 20 years older than a son a pa has therefore gone through a lot of what a son will this pa has in spades this pa has had heart throb and breaks in spades his heart must be a timex cuz it’s still ticking… [my] way of saying this gal you pine will become memmorable… let her go and check and see if that king novel is a first edition before you give it hieve ho

I hear you on this. I do. And I have let it go. It was no big deal. I just forgot for a while we were just friends. The book was another thing that I threw in as a joke. A joke only I would get. Remember it’s not a joke if you have to explain the punch line.
