I didn’t even celebrate April fools this year. Always makes me sad when I don’t play a prank. Or make a joke.

Like come on dude?

I think the best prank we ever played was putting “pop-its” under the toilet seat. You know, the little fireworks you throw at the ground, they snap.

When your friend sits on a toilet seat with 10 of those underneath, it’s absolutely hilarious. You know exactly when it happens. You could be outside in the yard and hear it. Classic.

KENTUCKY:

Similar to March, the first part of April entailed some travel. Aja and I flew from CO to KY for a wedding and Easter.

The older I get, the more I cherish and miss home. This year I helped my Mom in the yard voluntarily. That’s how I know I’m getting old. At one point I got so bored I hopped in a pickup my dad had and just drove around town — my literal old Kentucky home.

So much memory, yet so much change. The further away I get, the more it all means… Nostalgia at work in Independence, Kentucky.
