I took my boys to breakfast today
We got up early this morning because Steph was going to Logan to vist some friends. We started the day at Johanna's Kitchen in Sandy. This is the restaurant where I had my first job and I've told the boys stories about working there over the years. That place is a complete waste now. It used to be a greasy spoon, coffee shop that had simple, down home, country cooking. Now their sign reads: "Johanna's shrimp festival" Seriously? I assume that the real Johanna who hired me in 1988 has probably passed away and the place is struggling to reinvent itself, and failing. Chuck Wagon Breakfast is the only way to go but for $12.00 - no way. I can eat cheaper than that at any airport, gawd. Anyway, I guess the old Johanna's will continue to live in my good memories.
As we ate breakfast the conversation turned to old people and retirement for some reason. Josh: "why are old people always so jolly?"Me: "i didn't know they were. And who says the word jolly anymore?"
we laughed about that Josh: "what do old people do when they retire?"
Xander: "sit around an be bored"
Josh: "I wouldn't do that. I'd travel around and look for famous people"
Xander: "old people can't do that because they're too old"
Josh is 14
Xander is 12
