What’s up with genetics anyway?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

There are many ways to describe me….but snappy dresser does not leap to mind. If you met either my father or my father-in-law, you would not think that they gave my children much genetic material with regards to fashion….but the evidence is clear, Matt has a tie drawer and dared to produce a picture, he proudly sent one during the third period of the hockey game (Hawks win….Leafs MUST be next!!). But, Matt has the genetic material of Gail Reeves, his nana and to there we must turn, she was a women of great style and to she we owe the debt of a drawer for ties???!!! too funny

I was wrong, Matt was right!

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Not exactly words you hear a father say on a regular basis….but sometime you just need to dig deep and admit your mistakes. Today at 12:45, I admitted to Matt MacDonald that he was right about my 2006 Lexus and lending/selling it on the basis the buyer would not smoke in the car or mistreat the car and that he would pay me for the car. Five months later, the car with a smashed front bumper, scraped back bumper and the smell of smoke sold at auction (Thanks Randy…905-601-7543 best car guy on the planet!!!) for $7,500 less than it would have produced had I followed Matt’s advice. Since it is coming out of Matt’s inheritance, he is pretty bummed out, all I lost was the place of respect I once held….hey, tommorrow is another day!

In any case, home now to watch game 6.
