Just for laughs
My plan was good intentioned, but had very little impact. The first comedian (somebody Griffin; lean pickings at the video store) was foul mouthed and not particularly funny in any way either one of us could comprehend. We switched DVD’s after 10 minutes of shared distaste for his style of humour.
Ellen Degenerous (sp?) does an amusing routine, but Gilly was in la la land before she lay the groundwork for her second joke. I watched a movie, accompanied by the steady rhythm of Gilly’s snores. I could think of worse ways to spend a Saturday night. At least we were together in a warm, safe environment.
The rain kept up for the better part of today, keeping Gilly indoors yet again, except for a short jaunt to Play it Again Sports. Yaron was looking for new roller blade wheels, an excuse to spend quality time together. It pleases me to see the spark of interest light up Gilly’s eyes. The prospect of hanging out with his son is very menaingful, but being able to concretely help him makes it that much sweeter. Yaron still has only a permit, so he needs a licensed driver with him in the car (especially one wielding a MasterCard). They returned home empty handed. I asked, “How was it?” “It was good to be out of here, but we did not succeed. They didn’t have the wheels,” he reported. The operation was successful in my eyes. Gilly had a mission; a reason to get out of the house other than for a medical appointment.
We enjoyed a visit with Marvin and Sharon this afternoon. There’s nothing like sipping tea with devoted friends, watching the sun break through the clouds.
Gilly is beginning to shed some hair. It must be disturbing to him, although he hasn't indicated this directly. I suggested he shave his head again so the bald spots will not stand out as much. He looked so cool awhile back when Keren's dad shaved his head. It seems, however, that he is more hesitant to go all out this time. "Let's see how it goes," he decided.
I tried our local library this evening, in hopes of finding some Gilly-friendly stand-up comedy. I uncovered 2 Jackie Mason CD’s. Yaron put the DVD player downstairs. Gilly can sit on his throne and laugh to his heart’s content. I know he prefers this sort of humour.
