Hot again. Went to an exhibition after lunch, at a local museum, of “fantastic realism” painters (including Ernst Fuchs, who I previously thought was overrated, but now think is a genius). Took eldest daughter’s girlfriend who likes art and seems to us to be getting shortchanged by her parents attention-wise this summer. Is there anything nicer than teens enjoying a trip to an art museum?
I suppose there must be lots of things, but it was still nice. Then we came home and splashed in the mother of all wading pools. They did, I read. Then we were too lazy to cook dinner so went to a wine tavern.
Tomorrow friends are visiting for a barbecue. They are bringing 5 kids, so I suppose the yard gets trashed. As long as no holes are poked in the pool and the cellar doesn’t get flooded I’ll be happy. The key to happiness is not getting your hopes up.
I haven’t read a newspaper in days, except a few Japan Times we get days late. I don’t even know what day it is.
Is Dr. Freud still there? If so, ask him what it means when, even though I don’t have children, I’m phobic about what it would be like to have a daughter who looks that good when she’s still barely a teenager (shudder).
Meanwhile, Fuchs himself resembles Freud a bit I think. I also like his Medieval Modernism (or ‘Fantastic Realism’) style… reminds me I should go to church more often. Especially because of the daughter-phobia thing.
I’ve always wondered how guys do it who coach young women’s (i.e. girls’) sports teams. It’s really hard not to think that way. Fortunately, one way or the other, almost all of them think older guys are ludicrously unattractive. “Older” meaning 30+.
Come to think of it, didn’t Demi Moore get her start as jail bait? And now look at what the bitch is doing! I don’t really believe that she sincerely loves Ashton, I think she’s just making some kind of point. Time flies.
Poor Ashton. Poor Dan Savage.
Alas, the cruelness and crudenes of biology…
I dunno, I remember being VERY attracted to 30+ men when I was that age…
since I never quite resembled anyone
