What’s your procrastination style?
My dad doesn’t have many negative traits, but somehow he managed to pass those he does have to me. Neither of us suffer fools gladly, though at least he’s usually wise enough not to engage them in pointless discussions—something I’m still trying to learn. We’re both hopeless pack rats. And if procrastinating were an Olympic event, we’d both have more medals than American swimmer Michael Phelps. But Daddy would have the gold.
When we were kids, my dad bought a used Jeep Wagoneer from a family friend and drove that thing until it was ready for the scrap yard. Time and again Mom cautioned him that he needed to have the Jeep serviced or replace it before he found himself hitchhiking around town. Time and again Daddy said he’d get around to it tomorrow … next week … next month … one of these days.
