"Spring" Cleaning

My dad was cleaning the garage... and by cleaning the garage, I mean moving things around so that he is the only one who knows where to find anything. His organization only makes sense in his ADHD mind.

My parents are kind of hoarders. Not so much that I feel a need to take them onto TV and have an intervention. And not so much that I feel like they are living in filth. And not so much that I cannot move from one room to another... but the parents just don't like to throw anything away. The second they get rid of something they know they are going to need it... Yes... you are going to NEED that wedding veil you found and that shadow boxed creepy Japanese doll thing... Why??

When I commented about how he and the mom do not want to get rid of anything... he responded that he has thrown some stuff out recently...

"Some things I threw away because they were an indictment on my bad behavior as a youth."

The jury has reached a verdict.

Pops was on the LAPD back in the dizay. This is one reason why we were all so surprised that he was still chosen to be put on a jury. But I guess they asked him if he thought he could be impartial and he stated that he could be. He even commented about feeling sorry for the guy on trial because he looked like a deer in headlights not knowing what to expect... Post deliberation, however, I got this gem from Papa J:

"Puttin' a homeboy in jail... just like the good ol' days..."
