Charles Barkley, Elaine Benes, George Costanza, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Kramer, La Bron James 2 Comments My fear is that they will get into their high school geology class and when the teacher says a particular rock is granite, they will argue with him/her and say, “No, that is definitely a LaBron.” Kaiya told him, “Daddy, you really know your rocks.” We were laughing so hard, because the kids believed every word he said, with not even the slightest doubt. There was the Benes and the Kramer and the Costanza. After running out of 60s rock star names, he moved on to television. You had the Lennon and the Morrison and the Hendrix. He started out with names of basketball players. He, of course, had no idea what kind of rocks they were, but that didn’t stop him. Because Daddy knows everything, they would bring each rock to Court and ask him what kind of rock it was. They found rock after rock after rock, all of which they were convinced were some kind of valuable gemstone. The kids all went to the sandbox/playhouse area and commenced digging for gold. They came for dinner last night, and after we ate, we went to sit outside. So we had our server bring us soda and Mylee had Twizzlers, brought to her on a tray. I wanted to make sure we had a good seat, so I upgraded to the VIP seats, which included wait service. I took Kaiya and Mylee to see Finding Dory yesterday, and it was so, so good. This year we didn’t have any celebrity sightings, but had a hellava good time nonetheless…. I’m glad he was because when I told my brother what I had done, he informed me that Barkley had once thrown someone bugging him through a window. Without giving it any thought whatsoever, I grabbed my niece and nephew by the hand and marched over to where he was being seated and politely asked if I could take a picture of him with the two kids. In fact, some four years ago or so, we were at a Cajun restaurant in west Mesa, and who should walk in but former Phoenix Suns superstar Charles Barkley. For quite a few years, Bill and I have been blessed to be included in the birthday dinner. After starting out the week with some very bad news about the death of our neighbor, it was nice to have a high point midweek on Wednesday as we celebrated my sister Bec’s birthday.
