gridlore: Doug looking off camera with a grin (Me - Drama)

I was a good Samaritan today. While in the wilds of eastern Contra Costa County (mostly agricultural and open space) I came across two very attractive young ladies standing by the side of the road next to a VW that had obviously run over something very, very jagged. Front right tire was shredded. The waved me down, and I pulled over.

To make a long story very short, neither of them knew how to change a tire, they were both 18, and staring UC Davis this fall. We chatted a bit while I changed the flat for them (thank Ghu someone made sure they had a good jack and all the necessary tools in with the spare) about cars, college, and the importance of getting a new tire to replace the doughnut spare. I finished, stood up, and they both kissed me on the cheek! I think I actually blushed, since they caught me a bit off guard. That was the high.

The low came as I was packing my warning triangles back into their box. The girls thanked me again, then spoke to each other.

Blonde: "He was so nice!"
Redhead: "Yeah, he reminded me of my dad."

Her dad???.

(Does the math)

Shit.

You could also be the GK's father - but, again, you've known her since she was two...

As I think of it - aren't you the same age now I was when you and Kiri married?

I grok, man. There's a new intern in my office sitting in the cubicle next to mine. He's taking a year off between high school and college to get real-world experience first. I did the mental arithmetic and my uterus twitched.

The only thing more annoying than getting old is the alternative.

But you're in good company (http://moshkow.rsl.ru/koi/FOUNDATION/asivers.txt) bitching about it. (Filled with typos, but they're all easy to spot and correct.)
