Last year I saw my neighbor, former Dean of LSU School of Dentistry, one morning walking his dog like always before everyone was up and out for the day. We had morning talks most days, quick this or that about the neighborhood, news, our pets. One morning I asked if he always goes to pick up both grandchildren of his, which meant a good hour of car line with an elementary and middle schooler. He said yes and for some reason I immediately asked his age. He said 80.

I said Gary, you look great for your age, which was the way it came out at 6:30 on the street but what I thought was how he’s such a great person and role mode, still taking care of family however needed, I thought about how I will want to be able to the same thing for my daughters at his age with his level of commitment.

He passed a week or so later and I can’t believe this is the last thing I said to him. I hope he’s got better early morning friends where he is now.

I’m gonna be honest. I don’t wanna know/remember.

License suspended 3 times. I drive better when it’s suspended. No room for error.

Busted brake light?
Busted B hole in jail that night.

A little swervy from driving tired?
A little crack pipe made out of a toilet paper roll gets ya swerve on.

Zero DUI’s. All speeding. Not even in a hurry. That rush of the lights coming on, you knowing it’s go time(go to jail). One time I said something like I didn’t see the lights come on, sir. He explained how red and flashing lights from his unit can be seen from over 2 miles away. I just thought man, a two mile head start on ya and I’m not getting this ticket.

The 90 min talk in the parking lot doesn’t have a link either.

“Beautiful Boy” by Lennon was pre-approved by Tagliabu back in the 90’s. That could work.

That’s the way it was when I was banging.

We’ve been battlling these 1-2 homicides/yr with the off chance of a suicidal meth head from the landmass on his way to Livingston who couldn’t bear the thought of I-12 through Tangi and ends it after rubbing one out in Target’s parking lot.

Trump is gonna have to activate the Guard soon for St. Tammany.

As Jack Horkheimer used to say, “Keep looking up!”

If you feel like fighting just come by my house. Also, there’s a Sonic on 22 but it isn’t 24 hours.

He might not.

Gettin old ain’t for pussies.
