Ah well OR Silly


 

Ah well -  I now have to get Large Print Books, this one from the Sarasota County Library system.  Roll on my cataract surgery: dates yet to be determined,

"Carlos Eire was born in Havana, Cuba, on 23 November 1950.[1] His mother was Maria Azucena Eiré González and his father was Antonio Nieto Cortadellas - a prominent judge before Fidel Castro's revolution. He also has two brothers, Tony (blood relative), and Ernesto (step-brother); the latter was disliked by all in the family, but the father.

Eire (age 11) and his brother Tony fled to the United States in 1962, becoming another statistic of the 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban children airlifted by Operation Peter Pan. His mother would eventually join him a few years later, but never his father.

He is now  is the T. Lawrason Riggs Professor of History and Religious Studies at Yale University. 

He is a historian of late medieval and early modern Europe."

Silly -  some time before his death my friend Ben Morse.  gave me a Church Key.

I lost it about a month ago. 'Twas a bit saddening, not because of its  monetary value, but because of its sentimental worth.

Ho, ho, ho.  I found it today; deep in the bowels of my dish washing machine. It had been there through not a few dish washing cycles.



I'll clean it up with a Brillo Pad, then use it as necessary;   always with precious memories of Ben.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
