He may especially like and feel comfortable sitting in that window. Comfort zone.

Besides, he felt like he had to get outta the house. Back freezing up sitting in the chair. The dog wanted to go.

Might he have forgotten about the parking lot incident by now? If you reminded him of it, I bet the response was defensive and impatient.

Anyone want to borrow him ? I really should not complain, my sister has it much harder she handles his money. Wasn't to bad till some Einstein at the bank gave him ATM card. Dad doesn't understand overdrawn fees, he thinks as long as the machine spits out money he is good.

I asked the 20-something girl at checkout the other day if the US consumers will ever go off cash to fully plastic.

She said, "not in your generation." Then, she looked at me ... I said, "well, I'm not planning on going anywhere anytime soon."

A friend seemed especially cheery last summer about going around with a wallet empty of actual cash. Funny that he was the same guy who said he wasn't gonna figure out how to use a computer, he'd "rather die first."

The poor guy turned 70 in January and his family just checked him into a nursing home this month.

Gotta stay flexible ... New with the Olde ...

Nyboy, I love you and I love the way you love your Dad. I only wish I still had my Daddy. He had compost in his blood veins and lived to garden. He was organic before organic was cool and J. Rodale was the only publications on organic gardening. I often think about him and how he would have loved to have an entire garden forum composed of people all over the world to talk garden with. I miss him.
