synchronaut. 30 Mar 2002 / 9:39 p.m. joe's grandfather, hubert, came out to the firepit occasionally last summer. he always waited until his wife was sleeping. we would sneak him beer and barbequed chicken - he would nod, his eyes wide. he would tell stories. to us, it always seemed we got the better deal. good stories, especially old ones, are worth more than a few cans of Pabst. hubert died recently. tonight i am going to his wake with joe and matt and bebout and a few other guys. we are going to get very drunk, tell our oldest stories, and nod sagely at the end of each one. hosted by diaryland. |
