this morning #2275.

this morning, even though i know that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, i still insist on trying to lead a horse to water. damn horse won’t drink so i keep beating him long after he’s dead. you might say i’m as stubborn as a mule when it comes to fools who are forever stuck in the mud. in this specific case, i’m speaking of my dad. i assume that, at some point way in the past, he was somewhat hip. eager to learn new stuff. explore the world. seems that way in photos. now that he’s in his mid-sixties, he’s become a slave to routine. i really don't get it. after all these years of being a slave to his job, he’s finally free & all he wants to do is lounge about the house. eat the same foods for every meal. watch tv. bowl once a week. his life needs to be more than a batch of habits.
