Point of order

'when I get my phone, can I have text messaging?' hk asked me this after basketball practice tonight. blimey.

phone? he is 11, headed to 21, much too swiftly.

'sure. as soon as popkin brothers telephone sanitizing and management consulting has enough billings to support phones. heck, you guys can even buy twin jaguars and eat steak every night.'

'what about pizza? can we eat pizza every night- poppa john's drive by?'

 'sure, bill it. seems like a legit expense.'

 funny thing is, I knew a guy who actually did buy twin jags.

they had an inordinately profitable year and had to burn some cash. I wish the same problem for my boys, but hope they do something more creative with their excess.

btw- one of the jags ran well ( as well as jags of that era ran, I mean). the other one spent more time in the shop than in the road.

karma fairy, awake and smite the profligate among us.
