Life Aside

My dad is 79-years-old now. I called him this morning to see if he’d be interested in having someone come by the house each day for an hour or so and help him out with whatever he wanted. He said no and that it would make him feel old. I then told him about my trip to Disneyland with Dakota and Cynthia yesterday and we talked about the time we went together when I was 10-years-old and he was 50. 

He called me later this evening and let me know they found cancer in a growth they removed from his vocal cord last week. He said the doctor believes the cancer is treatable, and he’ll start radiation next week.

At sunset I went on a run down by the water. I saw a drug addict throw a spray can into the ocean. I wanted to talk shit to him as I ran by but decided against it. On my way back I saw an elderly Asian couple taking a selfie with the Queen Mary in the background. I offered to take a photo for them and they let me know today was their 43rd wedding anniversary. As I jogged away they said they loved the picture. 

I noticed I had a tear rolling down my cheek as I jogged home and I don’t know if it was from the wind in my face or not.

Enough about that. On with the movie reviews.
