My mom wiped my ass the other day for the first time in 40 years. It was a moment I'd been dreading for eons, yet it proved surprisingly nontraumatic ... at least for me.

Stone Age

A friend reports:

I have this Aunt Marge who spent all her adult life in Weed, CA. Now she’s 95 and living in San Jose. Well, there may be a story in her past.

Just got a call from Daddy. He had called Aunt Marge and my cousin was there – and so they spoke ... about how well Aunt Marge was doing and how happy she seemed. Anyway, my cousin (70) tells Daddy (85) that if he ever felt the need for marijuana, she could help him out.

Daddy then calls me ... wanting to know more about marijuana (he uses the full name) and if in fact I thought it might do him some good. (U@(*U!L@JIIU*UO#*&#(&*&*(%*%@&!) Then Mama (80) gets on the phone and wonders the same thing. (U@(*U!L@JIIU*UO#*&#(&*&*(%*%@&!) These people are my parents I’m talking about. We thought we KNEW these people.

Anyway … Daddy asks about my experiences with pot and I tell him – nothing big. And essentially we left it that at some point in the future – presumably when they’re about Aunt Marge’s age – they might want me to hook them up, and I assured them I would.

Whatever.

Word of the Day

Dan coined a useful term the other day: pisstified. It's a combination of pissed and mystified. Angry and confused.

This could describe my mood at any given moment, but it stemmed specifically from my reaction to our TiVo's bizarre and infuriating habit of recording, then immediately deleting, new episodes of "Masterpiece." It doesn't do this with any other program, and the old TiVo in the bedroom has no such issues. Imagine my anguish at having to watch the first half of "Downton Abbey" in standard definition.

Overheard in the Holler

Last night, watching Richard Engel reporting from amid a throng in Cairo ...

Michael: It's kind of hot watching a Jew speak Arabic.

Dan: He's Jewish?

Michael: Richard Engel?!

Dan (skeptical): So Laura Engel was Jewish?

Michael (guessing): Laura Ingalls?

Dan:

A moment later ...

Dan: You cannot put this on the blog or any social networking site.

Michael: I have to.

Dan, gazing at empty parking space: I feel like there should be a chalk outline of Marge out there, with a pile of cards and stuffed animals.

Michael: And cheap bouquets.

Overheard in the Holler

This morning ...

Dan: Who would steal a 10-year-old van?

Michael: Who would steal a handicap van?

Later ...

Dan: They're sending an officer over to take a report.

Michael (wistfully): I hope they send someone hot.*

Still later ...

Dan, on phone to mother-not-in-law: The officer said [minivans] are often stolen and used to commit crimes.

Michael: Like Patty Hearst.
