Monday Morning Wake-up Call

Posted on by Live & Learn

Hello Peeps. Wally here. It rained all night tapping on the hood of Dad’s car. And I freaked when I found dad still in bed with me at 7:30 am.

“You sick Dad? I hope not.”

“No Wally … just Retired.”

I don’t like rain at all but love Retirement Dad.

Happy Monday!

Inspired by:

Don’t run any more. Quiet. How softly it rains On the roofs of the city. How perfect All things are. Now, for the two of you Waking up in a royal bed by a garret window.

— Czesław Miłosz, from “After Paradise” in “New and Collected Poems: 1931-2001 (Ecco, 2001)

  1. Wally! So great to hear from you man! Please give my best to your mom and dad!

    Miss hearing from you, dad 😁

    OK… How many days in a row at the cove walking?
    Spill it… Or there will be consequences! 🙃

    Oh wait… I believe you said you had a post about that in the works… (?)… Like a month ago or longer?

    Anyway… Great to hear from you both!!!!!!
    Have fun!

    PS: Wally… You have been promoted from your job as executive assistant… I will have to create a job title for you… But your job is now to keep your dad in line! Sounds impossible, but you can do it! Don’t let him give you any crap!

    1. Hi Paul. You will have to wait for the next Walking post to get an update on the # of days in a row! Hopefully you wont’ have to wait long. As to Wally, he said, keep your job titles and send TREATS!

    1. Yes. I did Melinda. My guess it will take me 6-12 months to adjust after 40+ years of the same morning/weekday routine. But I’m looking forward to it. Wally is King. He’s doing great!
