Rats

No, not politicians this time. That was just an expletive.

I missed a friend’s birthday party. My wife was not doing well and I don’t like to leave her alone when she's this bad – even if she does tell me to go. And honestly I am not doing very well myself. I just don’t like to admit that.

The weather lately has been pretty rough on both of us. The constant change in air pressure, even if it is a nice, bright, sunny day, can wreak havoc with nerve damage. I imagine the winds today were a pretty good sign of the weather systems that are colliding overhead. It was bad enough to set off my leg in a big way – and when I’m in that kind of pain she is really suffering.

Well, this wasn’t meant to be a discourse on nerve damage, just a rant because I didn’t give my friend the abuse he deserves – I mean I didn’t add my congratulations and well wishes to everyone else’s.

I guess I’m just mad that I let a friend down, that’s a pretty bad thing to do.

Sorry Tom. Hope you had fun. Don’t worry, you’re not that old yet, and you don’t have to act it even when you are.

I missed you, Michael, and it was a good party. But honestly, Tom had no idea who was there or what was going on. He just wandered around in a fog until finally he wobbled & fell in a heap. He does make a nice ottoman & I set my cup to rest in his ear. Poor thing, old age has been rough on him.

At least he was useful. That was considerate. But he's just that kind of guy.
