I made the executive decision to throw away an old dog bed, which is not as easy as it sounds. (It never is, is it?)Watch the video, here.
I've started the physically and emotionally arduous task of cleaning out My Parents things. It's not just clutter. It’s making decisions about the things that they thought were important. Or things they never got around to throwing away and now I have to. So I’m clearing the clutter and finding the funny.

Cleaning out the garage I found a treasure trove of tire irons, an empty box, and yes: my 10th grade geometry math homework. So, if you enjoy the audio in this episode, please be sure to check out the video.

We have an interview! I’ve wanted to do more interviews for the podcast for some time now, and at last I got to have a conversation with Carole Montgomery. She is one of my long-time, good friends in standup comedy; and even before I started this podcast, I cried many times on her shoulder about My Parents because she has already been there, done that.We talk about what it’s like to “lose them” before we lose them. The little things that tell us, “Something’s up with Dad.” Seeing and admitting the signs of dementia, dealing with hospital delirium, and the UTI bonus round; the reality of nursing homes in the age of COVID, the national conversations we’re not having but need to and why elders need advocates.
And how all of this puts aging in perspective.

In the wake of the tragic death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, there's a lot of talk about him being a #GirlDad. It reminded me of a piece I wrote back in 2008 called Lucky to be Daddy’s Girl: (The Flavor of Fatherhood.)I thought it would make a good episode as of the podcast. Enjoy.
