Kickass and loved ones

Kickass, the doorstop dog, will watch as the keeper heads over to visit son Larry and grandsons Nick and Tony at their hunting/fishing cabin in Minnesota; while Phyllis spends the weekend with her daughter Gina and grandchildren in Ohio.  As it becomes increasingly obvious to both the keeper and Phyllis that time is the only thing that really matters, it follows that spending some of it with the ones you love makes good sense.  Those loved ones will laugh at the stories they have heard before and they will be solicitous and pandering; and the keeper and Phyllis will return home as refreshed as it is possible for old dudes to get.
