Because someone has to spend time with the old woman. Friday, April 9, 2010. ME: You know, I could get used to being unemployed. ME: Funny, Grammy. But it’s really nice not being slave to a job you go to for no other reason than to make money. This is real freedom, waking up and knowing you can do whatever you want. GRAMMY: Yeah, if doing what you want is sitting around the house all day. ME: I don’t sit around the house all day. GRAMMY: You’re right. You don’t. You sit around. Photo courtesy of Sheeshoo.

Because someone has to spend time with the old woman. Tuesday, April 13, 2010. ME: Where have you been, Grammy? GRAMMY: Over at Alfie’s.

I went over to see his friends. GRAMMY: He’s got a dozen half-dressed men over there working on some monstrosity. GRAMMY: Give or take. GRAMMY: And in their prime. GRAMMY: Well, what?

http://afternoonswithgrammy.blogspot.com/2010/04/philosophy.html
Because someone has to spend time with the old woman. Wednesday, April 14, 2010. JULIUS: Like my poster, Grammy? GRAMMY: A black blur with words too tiny to read? I’d hang it on. ME: It’s not a blur, Grammy. That’s Earth. And isn’t that a great quote? It’s a dissertation saying we’re all a bunch of worthless nothings. ME: Well, it’s true Grammy. In a way. The problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. GRAMMY: You’re quoting movies now? GRAMMY: Yeah, well in.

Because someone has to spend time with the old woman. Friday, March 26, 2010. GRAMMY: I saw your ex today. He’s out in front of the supermarket begging. GRAMMY: Yeah. He was bent over on the ground, cup in front of him, scrounging for money. Even got the cat and dog in on the act. ME: Oh, Grammy. He wasn’t begging. He trained the cat and dog to do that ages ago.
