The Ladies

[Weedygarden]

He was defined by round badges, cheap suits, windbreakers, mustaches, brown liquor and cigarettes. Now all he does is reminisce about those days. He was definitely more concerned about his career than he was his child.




I really didn't mean to bring it up, because I really did hate it, but he was a deputy US marshal then special deputy assigned to a federal courthouse. So yes, he has some claim to fame and loves to tell everyone about it.

My mind just keeps thinking about the possibilities. As I said, I'm not trying to dig into your life or his, just thinking about the possibilities of where he worked, what he did, and who he saw.

Colorado has had some well known criminals incarcerated here. Super Max has many well known people.

Since I moved to Colorado, at one time I knew more than 10 people who were incarcerated, some being former students or their parents and some former colleagues. Most of them were incarcerated for something sexual. Go figure! I have visited people in prisons.

The thing about all humans is developmental stages. People in their 40's are in the most career focused time of their lives. I saw it in myself with all of the long hours I worked then as well as the classes and studying I did to improve my skills. Children do pay the price for their parent's careers. My daughter did.

He transported or guarded a few high profile people, some criminals and some witnesses, but much of what he did involved tracking down people who absconded or asset forfeiture stuff.

Don't I know it. Not a lot of people hand their pre-teen a snub nosed .38 and some cash and say "see you in a few days".

In some ways, similar to your current work.

In many ways, you raised yourself. You can be proud of how well you have done, and that you are not one of the incarcerated people. I have two nephews who have been. One was raised by a single father, the other by two parents and lived in a fairly nice neighborhood.

I suppose. Only I made sure to never bring a child into it and I make a lot more money. He really wanted me to join the marshal service post military and still hates that I became a contractor instead. Which is why he always says "contract killer" instead of security contractor.

Thanks, an older widow who lived in our building helped out a lot. The Army did too.
