You can empty your shooter in me anytime, billy the kid

I’m not a fan of westerns in general, but I’ve been watching the new series Billy the Kid and if you think it’s only because the guy playing billy the kid is crazy hot, well then you’d be right.

I was slightly worried about his age. But according to the internet, he appears to be in his late twenties. a bit on the young side even for me but what can you do.

So, I was supposed to be heading to Boston in two weeks for a design conference and I was very excited about it. I was gonna see friends and find my old train conductor crush and see the Red Sox (and the bruins maybe too if they could only get their shit together and win some fckn games) but nooooo. I can’t go, all because my kid is “graduating” from “high school”.

The universe conspires against me every chance it gets.

But I am happy Ry is graduating. things looked bleak for awhile there, especially with all the remote schooling. It was a real slog getting him across the finish line. But he did it. I’m proud of him for not giving up.

But it’s sad, too, for all the typical reasons, you know, baby growing up, empty nest, passage of time, death looming on my doorstep, etc.

I won’t get too sad though, because he’ll probably end up living with me until I die and this graduation will be the only thing worth celebrating. Well, until I die.
