Finding Joy at the Butcher Shop
Christmas Day 2014 at the Cement Boat
Annual Christmas Day visit to the cement boat – watching the sun set over the sea. This year with Opapa and Nana. John John in his high-fashion running recklessly toward the water’s edge with zero abandon. The Pacific Ocean in all its glory.

I wore some shoes that got waterlogged. I took off the shoes and the socks when I came inside. My wife saw the wet socks and said they were disgusting.
Hey man, Jesus wore socks, I told her. With sandals? Was Jesus the type of guy to wear socks with sandals? Only when it was cold.

Pile of Shoelaces
Nami begs me to throw this away sometimes. It’s my pile of shoelaces!
Sold-out show
Somewhere, there’s a sold-out arena full of people jostling to tell me that I stink. And the promoter skips town without paying me.
A kid’s parents take a break from screaming at each other just long enough to tell her, “Get a real job.” And then they go back to banging pots and pans.
