A few things we missed…

Hey, Dad. Me again. I keep thinking of things I want to mention to you, things that you missed in the last 10 years.

Remember the book I was working on back in ’06? In fact it was about to be published when you passed. Well, I got the first copies of it just a few days after we last talked. I wish you could have seen it, but maybe you did somehow. Anyway, we ended up calling it The Other Side of the Coin. I think it’s sold about 12 copies.

And remember Senator Libous? The guy I said was a crook all those years and no one believed me? He got busted a couple years ago and was convicted of influence peddling and all sorts of ethics violations. Would’ve gone to jail except he was dying of cancer at the time anyway and the judge let him spend his last few months on house arrest. Seriously.

Since you’ve been gone, though, politics and elections haven’t really been as fun for me. I never ran for anything else and I never got Doug Drazen elected mayor, but if you can believe it Donald Trump actually got elected President. This was just after the Cubs won the World Series and I really thought the Apocalypse was set to occur right there. It hasn’t yet.

The Yankees won another title in ’09, Notre Dame was good for a few minutes in about 2012, and they completely messed up the Big East basketball conference.

Other than that you haven’t missed much.
