Spring has Sprung....but who really cares!

The Season has supposedly changed but the temperatures have not increased. It's still cold in the mornings. Life at Casa de Trujillo hasn't changed much. It consists of getting up at 3:45 am, taking care of my legs and walking the dog. After this is all this I sit in the kitchen and make my parents their brown bag lunches. My father being 89 and my mother being 82 they have issues in movement. Personally, I think its laziness. Lunch consists of a sandwich and other treats (ie. Pudding, Peanut butter crackers, nutty bars, gelatin and other snacks). Then its time for the 3 S's, shit, shower and shave.
     By the time I'm getting dressed it's 5:15am and I'm in the van at 5:30am and off to work. I spend my days taking sales calls and helping out my fellowman getting the tools to pipe the shit right out of their house. Thats right, I sell toilets and other such items. I knew I'd put that English degree to work for me. The only reason I am in this business is because after I got out of school I wanted to spend some time with my Dad, little did I know that I would be in this business for the rest of my life. So I won't be the writer that I wanted to be but I think my daughter will be.
     The one thing I have done in my life is passed on my love for writing and reading to my Emma. I am so proud of her. Not only does she do well in school (When she passes in her homework) but she reads like its going out of style. I thought I read a lot when  I was younger but not like her. Recently she entered a poetry contest and took 4th place, not bad for the first writing contest she has ever entered.
     This coming April vacation she is taking a writing course in Boston six hours a day for four days. I have never heard of a kid wanting to do such a thing but more power to her. So I'll be walking the streets of Boston for the time she is in class, be prepared for a lot of photos of good ole' Beantown.
     Luke is no slouch either but his game is Basketball, He's pretty good at it and just needs to keep practicing to get better. For April vacation he is going to Europe, I look at what these kids are doing and then I look back at my life at their age. I never thought of going to Europe, the trip I want to take was to go to Disneyland with Rex Trailer and Sgt. Billy. Well enough of my rambling.........Bye Boston!
