Nice morning, dog walk, and manscaping after having to deal with the drawbacks of thick hairs around an anus. I know, TMI. Jen went to see her parents but got her mom on an 'off' day (default mode = provoker and pot stirrer) so that was disappointing. Yoshi brought his niece over to meet Tommy – she's visiting from Japan, is a couple years younger and has skin like porcelain. They spent some time together going over English language questions she had. It was a moment where I realized my age, that he's an adult, and I'm not fully detached from a sense of needing to parent, direct, engage, etc. I roasted another batch of coffee beans. I'm not going to know until tomorrow if they're closer to the target but of course I'm hoping so. The color, taste (bean), grind, smell are all promising. I'll report back. I also 'ate the frog' and swapped out the old garbage disposal for the new one. It took a bit longer but it worked out fine, just like the installation at Matson did. That is of course after I made the mistake of trying to rinse out the hose I took off… in the same sink… yeah… water everywhere, but not a lot, I kinda figured it out quickly enough. Tommy and I discussed an impromptu run to Yosemite. He's off all week and it's perfect conditions. We're going tomorrow and will return Monday night. Staying at the Awanee! It's about $100 more than other options but optimal and will be another lifetime memory. Sent Lauren a brief text letter sharing some hindsight regarding a recent conversation. I want her to feel such support. She's gotten through a lot and I'm starting to understand a good deal more than I had. I'm in that swapped position where I'm starting to hear my kids and comprehend some of their experiences as struggles. I'm becoming the Dad meeting his kid at the diner sharing a meal but having a stilted disconnection between perspectives on their shared life experiences. Speaking of life experiences Matt reached out to connect for breakfast tomorrow and once I realized tomorrow's Sunday I suggest the Iron Skillet. Near Loma Vista where we had a rental house and numerous shared experiences as we developed a lifetime friendship. And of course when he asked "Time?" I replied "We'd be down for whenever you'll be up". Dad jokes have origins.
