756

It has been done! The most coveted and monumental, as I see it, record in sports has been broken. I have heard the masses on sports radio and read as much in the printed press and the back and forth opinions on Bonds himself. The way I see it...sports enhancing drugs or not, he has surpassed Hammerin' Hank Aaron for the sole possessor of the home run crown. This is a great milestone, and one that deserves to be mentioned. So where were you when the record was broken? Me, I was assessing a delusional and paranoid 72 year old woman at a local Sheriffs Office.

Now I will wait and watch A-Rod as he climbs the home run ladder to see how close he gets to dethrone Mr. Bonds.

Can I have your blessing?

My mother's boyfriend calls me yesterday evening and leaves a message. I think maybe it has something to do with a problem with one of his kids. I frequently get questions from people due to working in the mental health field. I call him back this morning and he starts out by saying that this is awkward. Instantly I knew why he wanted to talk to me. He is going to ask for my permission or blessing, per my mom's request, to marry her. Damn it. Was my first thought and then I told my wife "what the hell?" My mom wants to get married again!? Talk about awkward. Can you get more awkward than that? Maybe you can but it would be a situation where people talk about their dreams of being naked and standing in the middle of town with everyone watching you as they go by. Yeah, that would be awkward. I told him that I would call him back and let him know after I thought about it. This would be #3 for Vickie.
