Family Matters

Posted on October 24, 2005 - Filed Under Personal |

I’m now into week 9 of staying at Anne and Tony’s.

Two weeks ago, I was working at the houses.  Anne will sometimes call me between 5 and 5:30 to see how I’m doing.  So when my cell rang at 5:30, I knew who it was.

Clifford:  "Hey there Sunshine!"
Anne:  "Hey, how are you?"
Clifford:  "Working as usual.  You should see the paint on the houses."
Anne:  "Yeah, I know.  Are you almost done?"
Clifford:  "Almost.  I’ll be home around 7 or 8."
Anne:  "HA!  You said ‘home’!  We gotcha boy!"

Monday morning, Anne was telling me about their weekend trip with their family to Idyllwild.  Being located near the top of a mountain, Idyllwild is 5,300 feet above sea level.  For those of us that live next to the ocean that’s a large elevation difference.  And those differences can have all kinds of weird effects on the body.

Anne:  "We couldn’t do anything!"
Clifford (sipping espresso):   "The oxygen must be thin up there."
Anne:  "You have no idea!  Marissa couldn’t move, her boyfriend Cliff was sick, I had all kinds of knee problems and your father had chest pains."
Clifford (spitting up espresso):   "Tony’s my father now?"

Yep.  Nine weeks.
