Moom! Look who’s up ahead! And there he was, the Easter Bunny, or maybe the Energizer Bunny by the way he was bopping around in and out of Dexter’s Pub and up and down the street.

The original idea was that me and Lizard would meet up for lunch on Sunday. When moom is Home Alone, the beach urchins like to make sure she is properly socialized and since moom has shaken off her covid cowardice, lunch at a restaurant is an option once again and I am loving it. Various gyrations in schedules flipped our original plan on its head and we met today instead. At Dexter’s Pub and joined by the GG. He is not unwelcome at these lunches although today he was a little stinky after walking 10 miles from The Planet Ann Arbor to the satellite village of Dexter. And his John Bolton mustache is starting to look scary enough that even *he* admits to being a bit scared of it.

So my beach urchin Lizard drove over to my house and I was like, “Baby you can drive my car!” When this beach urchin was an emerging talker, she once grabbed my keys and said, “I d[r]ive.” How do you explain to a toddler that no they can’t drive? And then all of a sudden they are 14 and in high school and taking driver’s ed. 14? Some might ask. Some parents get freaked out about putting their kids in driver’s ed as early as is legal, which is 14 in Michigan. Why oh why oh why? The longer your kid drives with adult supervision, the better. Er, unless YOU are a bad driver… Or afraid of driving, as some people are, which I am sympathetic to.

So my daughters are wonderful drivers and I enjoy riding with them any time they are willing to drive me. And it’s usually my car. There’s nothing wrong with their cars but I think there might be more “stuff” in them than Cygnus X-1 has. Which is somehow typical of younger folks? I’m guessing because there used to always be a bunch of crapola in my cars. You know. Old dried out McDonald’s hamburgers that the kids didn’t eat and whatever. Also, Mooon Yooonit usually has a lot of crapola in it and the GG “stores” a certain amount of that overflow in Cygnus. I am not happy about this but I tolerate it.
