Topix Underground

It's kind of tense around here. My daughter got a scholarship, which meshes nicely with my inability to pay. But she has to audition for the music program. To do that she has to be able to play these classical piano tunes flawlessly. from memory.  Apparently that's stressful because she gets a little crazed and the music goes off the rails and she starts banging on the keys. So her angst is kind of seeping into my head by like osmosis and killing my buzz now.

My wife does most of the child-rearing that been going on around here. I've tried to stay out of it as much as possible. I could only make things worse.  They're trying to  get me to go to their cult at that Lutheran church on Good Friday. They assure me that there's a policy of not speaking as part of their rituals on that particular day so no one would try to engage me in a conversation.  Catholics aren't supposed  to get mixed up with shit like that.
We don't even have to go to church. We are driven toward sin and redemption. It's a burden.
