I Apologize......And Now for Something Completely Different. ( Old Monty Python Reference)

 Again, I owe a couple of you phone calls, hell, thinking about just showing up at their house , however, if I was them, I'd greet me with a 12 gauge pump. I know a couple of you I owe my time and energy. 

I apologize. 

I have business I have to take care of this week. Literally, I am adulting, and since I retired, well, hell, I have slipped back to 18-19-20-21 year old Kerry Don Thomas. Literally, the girl I started to date made me grow the hell up.....She was barely 18 when we started dating. I mean barely. 

I went /am going through a bit of the "blues" as I posted on Facebook due to the loss of high school and a college friend. Both to cancer. 

I had helped the college friend get over a girlfriend who had left him for another mutual friend of ours. They married, and it wasn't long afterward they divorced and she came back begging for him to take her back. 

To my surprise, he listened to me and I told him to " move on." 

I'm sorry, but if a girl or a boy will screw someone else, while they are with you, or leave you for someone else, and want to come back, I am sorry, if they cheat once, there is a good chance they'll do it again....Kick 'em to the curb. 

Yeah, it'll hurt, but you'll be better off. 

My college friend later met a girl a couple of years older than him, and they were the love of each other's lives. 

Then, my nephew has started his first teaching job. I literally have been on the phone with him hours pumping him up. When BHS got me, I was a fully formed Mr. Thomas. I had taught for over a decade before I came to Buna.  And the thing is, he is dadgum me. Literally. Thinks like I do. Acts like I do. Loves History and English Literature like I do....That said, he is like his cousin Reid. Likes the red-headed girls.....But then again, in Reid's case, you never know who you'll fall in love with, a young Chinese girl who literally is the smartest person in the room when  she walks in, and she keeps it hidden. Damn M.S. in AI from Carnegie Mellon .... One of those, old Kerry couldn't get in that college if he tried. 

If I owe you my time, my effort, I will be connecting you in the next week.  

And if you need to hash something out with me, LMK. 

I apologize.....
