- I blew the weekend getting to Morris and back, wondering if this is all worth it. The good lesson is in my old age I don't panic and problem solving on your feet is a fun exercise. It helps when you have a friend nearby to help.
- I'm taking Mom in for surgery tomorrow morning. She said we should go out of Thanksgiving dinner. It IS two days after the surgery, Mom. I'll think of something.
- I just got a call. My buddy, who lives alone, had a heart attack and is in the hospital, brain dead, waiting for the plug to be pulled.
He has a building near Wrigley Field and was attacked a couple of years by three of the usual drunken suburban hooligans when he screamed at them for p*ing on his property in front of his daughter. They hit him in the head with a brick giving him a concussion and permanent dizziness. The cops, BTW, told him that's what he gets for being a rich yuppie and buying a house next to the ballpark in a trendy neighborhood. He lived there for 30 years.
I gotta figure the attack, and his fondness for making waves at work, didn't help his health.
I never felt so old.
