Friday Haiku – a day late

Geneology
Study of those before me
Done for those to come

Busy week – a day late on the Friday Haiku hook-up. But, at least I’m here. Genealogy is my latest endeavor. I am sorting through records and pictures and trying to make sense of things so that my girls will have an easier time of it when and if they should so choose.

Sadly, I have waited until all the “old folks” have passed on. We can no longer ask who great aunt Tilly married after great uncle Milt passed away. No, those are not real names in my lines (as far as I know). It IS pretty cool to see where some of the threads lead, though.

Robert and Angel

Robert barked into the phone, “George, I don’t care what the contractors say, that equipment has to be in place first thing in the morning or we’ll lose the bid. Get on it. I’ll be there in the morning.”

Flipping the cell phone, Robert tried Angel’s number again. “Answer me, dammit! I’m on my way. Oh, crap! Traffic is backed up. Angel, pick up the phone!”

Robert tossed the phone onto the dash and began to maneuver through the traffic. He craned his neck as he passed the wreckage, and then looked again.

He recognized the car.

“Angel? ANGEL! NOOOOOO!”

Lance and LeeRoy have challenged us with an Ani DeFranco song “Cloud Blood” for the 100 Word Song this week. Not sure why Robert and Angel came to mind, but they asked to be let out, so here they are. Try your hand at working with LeeRoy.
