Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for August 22, 2015

With Bev gone, it’s no fun getting here early, Suuuussssaaaannn!

I couldn’t convince my kids to even try some of the things I did…which in retrospect is a testament to their character.

Oh Gosh!

Sorry, Rose… I was a little late tonight….and I guess I should have come here first.

I forget, cos it’s not my regular job….

I mean, that Bev…. does she ever think for a minute about me when she just takes off, and leaves me with it?

No, she does not.So here I am, in trouble for not doing something I shouldn’t even have to do!

But just for you guys…. I went on that long journey, and brought back Tony’s question. Here you go:

“Do you have an escape?”

Well, if I had an escape, would I be doing this?Hmmpphhff…..

Nope

Yup

Yeah! I do, my imagination 1 It takes me where ever I want to go!

Yes, I did not some of the things I told our daughters not to do; that’s why I told them No. Our youngest managed to come up with some doozies of her own, and she tells her kids now not to try anything, “because there’s nothing you can think of that I didn’t try”. It really is a wonder that child lived to adulthood.

@Tony“Do you have an escape?”

I would much prefer a seascape…

Did you do things you told your kids never to do?

Nope, and they turned out just fine…

My kids did things I didn’t even know existed when I was their age. (those “things” didn’t)

My job is creating escapes.

@TonyYes, it’s at the upper left of my keyboard. But I don’t dare touch it as my pc is in the process of updating to Windows 10.

The above was sent from my tablet. After about 1:10 Win 10 is up and running no problem so I’ve escaped from the horror of Windows 8.1.
