Talks with Papa Joe

...always make me smile.  We talked about March Madness which is my dad's favorite time of the year. We discussed how many upsets had went down and how poorly UK played. He snarked some about Coach Cal....."still not sure about him" was Dad's comment.  Translated:  Coach Cal is not a great coach and his embracing of the one and done has ruined college basketball. My comment was he talked too much like a used car salesman.  Translated:  He is no Pitino when it comes to  discussing strategy and really doing bench coaching. I told Dad that I was done this year. He said "BUT YOU ARE A DUKE FAN....and they almost made it."  Thinking almost is the most important word in that sentence......

I asked him if he watched Stormy Daniels on 60 Minutes.  "Why lawzee no! They are both liars and why would I want to listen to either one of those nasty people?  Did you watch it?"  I told him I had to agree with him but I watched it because the orange idiot loves good ratings and I wanted him to know millions of folks watched her talk about how bad sex with Trump was. Papa Joe chuckled.

We then talked about Dexter passing away. I told him how he had laid down to sun himself and just decided "I think I am done" and died peacefully.  Dad said "I hope that's how I go.....just not anytime soon because I have reservations for later...... much later."
