| The Stiffest Challenge in Avoiding Healthy eating |
Cantaloupe. I find it hard to countenance
how it evolved but my granddaughter joined a long list of women in my life who
have tried to convince me to eat more fruit. She loves fruit (which I ascribe
to her Wingman or Abuela bloodlines) and last night during our FaceTime call
she tried to share her dinner’s worth of cantaloupe with me. We have a shtick where
she shares items of food with me and I pantomime eating it voraciously. Taller
women than she have tried to get me to eat healthier for my entire life. I don’t
think she’s going to be any more successful than they have been.

| Hard to Resist |
There was a very funny moment when the
FaceTime call came in. She was talking to her abuela because I was out on the
back hill on my stair project. As she is wont to do she demanded that we both
appear on the screen together. My wife took the IPad out onto our deck and when
my granddaughter saw me walking up she turned around in her chair to look out
onto the deck at her house. I don’t think she’s mastered the spatial differences
involved between New Jersey and Massachusetts.

June weather finally appeared
yesterday so I was able to get out onto the soggy back hill. My wife’s Tio insisted
to be there with me (honest). I may not let him return to Panama as I’m getting
used to having a partner on my various projects. He’s been incredibly helpful round the house
claiming that he is only working hard to stay warm in our chilly gringo weather.
My next task is convincing the Wonder Pooch that I’m not building these stairs
so he can climb the hill to defecate; a work in progress.
