In regard to that other thing, that resulted in an AK that sort of fell into two pieces…
It occurred to me later in the evening that “If I didn’t know for a fact it isn’t your fault I would be beating you over the head with this” probably wasn’t the most diplomatic thing I ever said to a guy who’s at least a full head taller than me, outweighs me by probably eighty pounds (none of it fat), and leaves visible puddles of testosterone wherever he pauses. Seriously, you can actually watch this guy’s beard grow, and I got in his face.
All in all, I thought he took it rather well. Which is to say, I’m still breathing and have sustained no broken bones.
Daughter and Ari the Husband will be pulling out tonight. We broke it up early so he could get some sleep. The plan is that they’ll leave here around eleven and drive all night. This permits a much faster trip, since Kaelyn is almost certain to sleep through the night.
I remember being young once, and able to blithely assume a plan to drive all night was going to end well.
