I did not reveal my gender but I did learn that my son and his wife are going to have a boy in January. I am pretty sure they will name him Walter, no matter what they are saying now.
I watered and weeded my front garden, I hacked the blackberry bushes away from the mailboxes, I repaired the dishwasher attachment on our Alki rental condo (more on this latter),I showed the rental condo to a prospective rentor, I painted my BBQ, I organized my shed, I watered and weeded my Zen garden and I feed my fish.
I guess this is what old guys do.
I am now a landlord. I guess this is another thing old guys do. I am a reluctant landlord, and not real good at it. It is hard when you are a socialist/communist to be a landlord. We currently have a tenant living in my mother's house; for free and we pay my brother rent and pay all the utilities. We have a tenant in our basement, she is paying rent, but we waived it for August because she fed our cats. We have a writer in residence styling in the Alki Condo, we are big supporters of the arts AND we were pretty sure Sally, Peggy's mother would not move in until September, because that is what she said when she asked us to buy it so she could live in West Seattle after her husband passed away from a long terminal illness.
Now she is not sure she wants to move! At least her financial advisor (Peggy's sister) who lives in Texas, is pretty sure that having her live in Magnolia, 40 minutes away from her local children is not an issue.
