Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Marcel and I were talking the other day about taking a trip ‘home’ during the summer. He knows this means extreme temps and humidity. Personally, I don’t think he would be able to withstand an hour in that humidity, but he thinks otherwise. He doesn’t realize that it’s so bad there that many people use a home dehumidifier to keep the moisture out of the air in their homes. It keeps the mold and mildew at bay, not to mention the stinky smells associated with it.

Our plan is to eventually move home and when we do, I know that I’ll be listening to him complain about the heat from May until the end of Septermber. At least he won’t have to worry about snow.

While we were on vacation, I noticed that my brother and Marcel had one major thing in common amongst all the little things and that was the fact that they love cars and making them look their best. Now, when I say ‘making them look their best’ I don’t really mean keeping them clean and waxed, because that goes without saying. Instead, one should think on a deeper level and the fact that they both love adding features to the car that allows the car to be uniquely their own.

I loved listening to them talk about how they’d wanted to change this and that, plus my brother even took Marcel to a friend of diddy’s to show him the wood dashboard that he had ordered and installed in an old classic car that he’d found for a little bit of nothing and had been fixing it up here and there over the past year or so. It goes without saying that Marcel loved the look and one evening they spent hours pouring over a website that offers everything they could ever want to create the look they want, and I have to admit that even I was impressed with the prices and selection and we all know that my idea of a cool car is one that looks great and that drives well.

I was happy to see my brother and Marcel have that bonding experience and they even talked about possibly one of these days buying a car together and fixing it up. I would love to see how that would turn out, and who knows- I may find out sooner rather than later.
