Talked to my sister

ຊາວສອງຕະຫຼອດໄປ = ยี่สิบสองตลอดไป = 22 forever. I wish.

The Lao is easier to read than Thai.

In other snooze: I went out Saturday (mint-oreo-chocolate shake), Sunday (frosted banana bread) and today (pot pie). It's sunny mild and not quite as slippery as ice is making the walkways puddle-licious.

Yesterday I called my sister. Sad and interesting news.

My brother-in-law isn't doing well. He's in his 80s. My sister is having a cataract removed today and the other in 3 weeks. It progressed rapidly since August to the point she couldn't drive after 4 p.m. Since her husband can no longer drive...

My sisters have been worried about me. I do need to get a phone. Although... they never called when I had one.

My mother is 99 and not doing well. Her birthday is in May.

So... my sister's expiration date may be in her early 90s. Mine? 82. My father and uncle both lived to be 82.

Tik-tok. I don't know whether I have the energy to make up for 2 years of lost travel.

Years ago I brought black/white together for parties. It may not have been much, but it was something.

February 8th, Tuesday, 29 degrees. Bald eagles passing through. One perched and posed on a pole so I got a pic.

Angie has been sick, but Billie Jo and I didn't know that. Good to see her today. Sunny outside but no urge to go out, even though it's 54 degrees. PS: went for a walk down slushy muddy trails along the river.

Odd dream, so I made it into a rambling piece... of what? It's more like an ejaculation than vomit. Also editing contest entries and submitted one old poem to TYP.
