We can remember how our dad always had stuff inside the breast pocket of his shirt.
The man always, always, always wore a shirt that had some sort of pocket on it.
And in that little pocket there were many things. He had a tooth pick and a to do list. Sporadically, maybe even a piece of gum or a mint for us. These days, we are now echoing his to do list and our residential Heating, Ventilation, and A/C chores are on the list. Okay, so we don’t wear any sort of shirts that have a breast pocket much. We work from so we only wear golf shirts and shorts inside the central a/c of our home. The tidy golf shirts are nice enough if we have to jump into an online meeting. And nobody can see our shorts. In the Summer, this is required attire because it gets so tepid down here, but for sure, we didn’t move here for the heat. But if we have to deal with the heat of a Summer for many months, that’s a deal we’ll continue to make. Yet, we have to get better at being consistent with our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C chores. And that’s why we have instituted the dad to do list in our lives, but our to do list is on our iphones though. And it’s a talking list because we have alarms that let us know when it’s time for us to do a particular thing. Once a month, we hear it talk to us to remind us that we have to change the air filter. Now we just need to change the alarm sound to our dad’s voice and we’ll be all set.
