Stopping at my neighbors on my way home to hang out for a bit, have a beer and smoke a little weed and chat. He's 87 years old, I'm not quite 40. He's one of the best friends I've ever had in my life.

I choose to believe this is Daniel-san and Mr. Miyagi, the later years.

I would purchase a book you wrote to hear some of those conversations and stories. My god that’s just amazing and beautiful. ♥️

I used to hang out with Velma who lived across the street from my old house. She was in her late 80s, walked 3 blocks to the YMCA every morning for yoga class, then came home, made lunch, and enjoyed it with a Miller Lite (or two). Loved her.

I can see why you'd think that but it's really not. He's offered invaluable insight and advice and wisdom to me over the years and it's been a great help to me. I've mowed his lawn and shoveled snow and done things around his house to try to be a help to him. I'm friends with his family as well.
