What Year Was It When I Started This Post..?


Well, hello there! Yes, you, right there, in the purple flower-patterned mu-mu and straw purse, driving the '64 Beetle. How does that thing still run, by the way? But, yeah, the straw purse and the fake pearls really work with the eye shadow. Nice. Don't see that look on a dude in this neighborhood too often. You have courage, I'll say that...

So, there's this guy named Dave, and, yeah, it's me. Goofy, slouchy, slightly pudgy, sizable nose... but the snaggleteeth are on their way out! Awww, yeah! Hey, I can't do anything about the nose, but the teeth are on their way to perfection! And then... then you'll love me again...

Maybe...

So, here's something you have to respect. I drove with my dad 15.5 hours in one shot, from Medford Oregon to San Diego, BOOM! Like a boss! Flew up to see my dad on Sunday, to help him drive his stuff back down to San Diego, since he's moving back here. Flew up out of LAX, no less, which was a separate adventure, and stayed the night in Medford... then we hit the road at 6am in his Malibu, towing a little U-Haul trailer, and never looked back. We actually planned on stopping somewhere along the way and staying the night, to break the trip into two pieces... but we sailed along, nary a hiccup, and at the half-way mark in our trip, it was barely noon, and we saw no reason to stop with half the day left... so we pushed on... hit LA before it was even dark... not a hint of traffic the whole trip, until the very end of the trip, just north of Escondido, where there was some road construction that I'd say added about 2 or 3 minutes to the trip as the lanes all merged down to a single lane...

6am to 9:30 pm. We owned it. Had some great conversation. My dad's an interesting bird. Took exactly zero pictures.

Anyway, t'was a good trip. Piece of cake. Lemon cake...



That's Will Sasso and a compilation of his lemon Vines...

Shoot.... I started this blog post at a reasonable hour, but got distracted by watching three Bill Burr stand-up specials on NetFlix Watch Instantly, back-to-back, and now it's 1:30 am... unfortunately, I have work in the am, so I will have to cut this post short. Lemme grab a funny photo or two from my archive, to add enough filler to make your visit seem worthwhile...


True... an Apache is stronger than love.

Here's another comic, religious humor this time...

OK, fine, maybe not... lemme find another comic...


Hmm.... a little too far out there again... lemme see if I have another...


Closer... lemme try one last time...


And we have a winner! Thank goodness for Left-Handed Toons!

OK, I have to go to sleep now, before I fall asleep on my keyboard and the drool results in sticky keys...

Adios for now,

Dave the Sleepyhead

Is it wrong that your title made me think of "Golden Girls"? It was Sicily, 1942...lol

I love road trips. I LOVED road trips with my dad. So glad you got to enjoy it with him.

Glad you got your dad safely down to SD! and the last comic was definitely a winner :)

Havah: Man, I haven't seen Golden Girls in forever... I did watch the episode of Inside the Actor's Studio with Betty White, though... that lady sure is something...

Abbie: Whew! Glad at least one of the comics was a keeper...
