As a teamster and part time teacher's aide and lunch room coordinator

Kids are home schooling why omicron so dad is going over lunch menu.

08:45 online guitar class I’m there I told our one son why we can go over some blues , John lee or Elmore James I got a eye roll I then said what to old style ok ZZ Top or some Stevie ray Vaughn will go to texas.

English is mom’s department I never paid attention and my punctuation sucks although I’m on board for math.

Then I went over the menu for lunch I already have breakfast covered sausage eggs cheese sandwiches. I think lunch will be a chili and for home economics why these three can fold their laundry after dad washes and dry. And GI party cleaning bathrooms and the house.

Gym class will be at home cardio a decent walk or rowing and weights on back porch with mountain climbers push ups and working those abs I tell them you’ll thank dear old later.

We have open slots here at dads homeschool academy tuition is free we’re a socialist type operation so enroll the kids now.

Why we even have a petting zoo dogs cats goats horse and a hard headed donkey , the donkey is only here temporarily nine years so far.

Scene: Troops gathered in Day Room

Instructor: OK everyone. Who wants to party?
Troops: Yeah!!
Ins: Great. Your first official GI party. White glove inspection tomorrow. This place WILL BE as clean as an operating room. So get busy. Don't forget Q tips and tooth bushes.

As instructor leaves, a whispered critical analysis of his/her character takes place while in the rear echelon some middle finger salutes are rendered.

Good times

In our household, GI was used as an adverb meaning to scrub: "GI that toilet, garbage can, kitchen floor etc." Whenever we went camping we were always instructed to "police the area" before we set up and after we broke camp. And, yes, we camped in US Gov't issued pup tents borrowed from the base rec program.

Glad to see them again. Like hearing about your blues school, boys, dogs and smart wife. And you got goats, too. We are down to 2 elderly ladies, as we don’t breed anymore. I miss the antics of the kids caprioling and pirouetting.

You still working the rail yard or retired?
