Apologies

The only thing I have in the way of news here is that my husband is rather ill. Today he had to receive a shot of antibiotics, an experience I’m told is very unpleasant. Never one for drama, (unless I’m presuming to rearrange his belongings), despite being violently ill last night, running a fever, and shivering, he kept insisting he was fine. “I’m FINE!” he replied in annoyance to my inquiry that maybe he should like to visit a doctor. I knew there was trouble when he adjusted the air-conditioning up and pulled a blanket over himself. This may have been the first time in the history of our relationship that I was melting and he was cold, especially when it’s 97 degrees. While he lay asleep, I covertly called his doctor’s office and confessed that I was calling without his knowledge or consent. Their response, “Bring him in immediately.”

I wonder how many single men die because there’s no woman in their lives to put them forcibly in a vehicle and take them to receive medical care. Oh sure, I know what you guys are thinking, that we women prematurely shorten your lives anyway, so it all works out even in the end. That may be, but at least a woman’s sneakiness serves you sometimes.

Unrelated to our personal lives, there’s a rumor here that Bank of America may move operations to New York. In case you’re not familiar with Charlotte, the primary business here is the banks. I’ve often wondered if the banks left what would happen to the Charlotte economy. It wouldn’t be pretty.

I hope to provide something interesting here soon.
