I am way way way to fucking lazy after a long day’s work, I’m gonna barely touch the keyboard. By the way, a suck ass busy day at work is one where you get roped into so many meetings, that you actually miss two other meetings because of overlap.
Anyway, by way of an outline, here are some of the Pat anecdotes I think I might probably intend to put into print in no particular order:
-
Winning the neighborhood paddle ball championship. Pat could paddle.
-
Hating on priests, Part 1, Cuz’s First Holy Communion
-
Hating on priests, Part Final, Cardinal Bernard Law and molesters
-
Bluebirds and our collective body issues over my budding self
-
Teacher pranks and slang and wine and learning to skip
-
Maybe the one about dragging my sorry ass, another little girl and an octogenerian to a scholastic art show, followed by a much-needed and deserved cocktail
-
Possibly Pat’s fury about the mothers with the great idea for decorating a school function–Steal flowers from the nearby graveyard
-
Not sure if I can do it justice — How to and how not to handle the freak of a 9-year-old’s sudden onset of womanhood
-
Drinking
-
The pot plant
Don’t forget the Stah Mahket story about how she was too proud to let you come down there to take her shoppong and consented only when you had her convinced that the Stah in Braintree was cheaper than the one in nearby Cambridge. (I deliberately misspelt it as STAH because I don’t want that to trigger some sort of computer alert system)
