SO..
"BOTH" OF OUR COLLEGE KIDS ARE ON SPRING BREAK THIS WEEK..
WE WENT TO VISIT MEGAN IN NYC OVER THE PAST 5-DAYS..
(& HAD A "BLAST" WITH "HER")..
& "THEN"
WHEN WE GOT HOME YESTERDAY AFTERNOON..
OUR YOUNGEST-COLLEEN..
WHO GOES TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA..
WAS THERE TO "MEET"-US WITH "3"-OF HER FRIENDS..
(& IT'S "GREAT" TO SEE MY "LITTLE"-GIRL)..
& "YES".. THEY'RE GROWING-UP.. & MATURING...
"SLOOOOOOOWLY"..
MEGAN...LIVES IN AN APARTMENT.. IN THE BRONX..
IT WAS THE "1ST"-TIME I HAD VISITED A KID OF MINE..
WHO LIVED IN THEIR "OWN"-PLACE..
(A PLACE THAT WASN'T A COLLEGE DORM..OR COLLEGE "RENTAL")..
SOMEPLACE MY WIFE & I COULD "STAY"..
& "HONESTLY"..
"I" WAS "THINKING"....
ABOUT A LITTLE "PAYBACK"..
"MY" PLAN
WAS TO GO TO HER APARTMENT..
TURN-ON "EVERY" LIGHT.. & TURN-"UP" THE THERMOSTAT.. &LEAVE MY CLOTHES LAYING "ALL"-OVER THE PLACE.. & MY DIRTY DISHES IN THE SINK.. & USE-UP "ALL" HER TOOTHPASTE..
"BUT"..
AFTER ABOUT THE "2ND"-DAY
I "REALIZED"..
THAT "SHE" WAS "ALREADY" DOING "ALL" OF "THOSE"-THINGS
"HERSELF"..
& "EVEN"-WORSE..
"I'M"
PAYING THE RENT..
(SO "THAT" WAS A BAD-PLAN)..
& "THEN"
WE GET HOME..
WHERE COLLEEN & HER FRIENDS ARE WAITING..
(& IT WAS "WARM" IN BAKERSFIELD YESTERDAY--LIKE "80".. WHICH FELT "GREAT" AFTER THE COLD & RAIN OF NYC)..
& I "NOTICE"..
THAT THE HOUSE "FEELS"-COOL..
YET "ALL" THE WINDOWS ARE "CLOSED"..
SO I GO TO THE THERMOSTAT..
& THE A-C IS "ON"..
& I "SAY"
"TO" COLLEEN..
"DID YOU TURN THE A-C ON?"..
& "SHE"-SAYS..
"IT WASN'T ME"..
(NOW THE "NEXT"-LOGICAL CHOICE IS MOLLY----OUR DOG)..
