With a little bit of luck




This turned out to be a pretty damn big day all things considered than what I thought when it started out. I knew there would be some wait time just because I get up early and gets here quite a bit later than after I get up. I'm busy myself with making coffee, doing word puzzles and maybe even snagging a breakfast item here and there from the refrigerator. Many times I'll have a couple big spoonfuls from my concoction just to get the old body humming again. The peppers in the concoction certainly help with that aspect. Following my visit from my caregiver I did a couple puzzles and finally wrestled up a little bit of breakfast like phenomenon which is a frozen burrito sliced up at the bite-sized bits cqovered with shredded cheese baked for 35 seconds checked then covered with more cheese and cooked / baked/ microwaved another 35 seconds to a minute getting the ingredients melded together and brought to my complete Focus. I was killing time actually till 12:15 when I would take in a movie that I've been thinking about at that time then I get a call from an old friend of mine fellow I used to work with indicating that he's coming to town and does he want to go to lunch. Of course I want to have lunch with my buddy Dave and we scheduled to meet up around 1:30 when he was able to get into town he called me from Pocatello as he was leaving the state of Idaho.


As I was contemplating where to have lunch when David gets here from Idaho I remembered Idaho they have the lottery going on in Idaho part of the one billion possibility. I called him back and asked him to pick up a couple of tickets before I left the state but she informed me that he would and thanks me cuz he didn't think of it. It's been a rationalization because there's probably no chance in hell that we're going to win if we don't buy tickets there is no chance in hell- no there's a very little chance in hell so who knows. He was pretty close to being on time when he got here we went across the street from where I live to have lunch at mokey's Hawaiian restaurant which means they basically serve rice and some sort of meat on top of it with the slice of pineapple in the corner but their food is really good I really really enjoy it and Dave seem to enjoy it too. We had a great lunch and a great conversation and a great chance to catch up. We've always enjoyed each other's company even when he was my boss. We've always stuck together and watched each others back. As we visited things got kind of grim as we talked about where we were at in our lives. David's a bit younger than I am but had some major health conflicts along the way so his overall health though looking really good he's pretty hammered he could go at any time his doctor tells him. I'm just old with a significant disability which means I'm probably danger of poofing out at any given time too. I figured any given point he could die, with my friend David could die, or I could die neither one of us would ever know that the other had passed. I probably would start scouting the newspapers obituaries if I couldn't get a hold of David I assume David do the same with me if I even had an obituary. I keep thinking I'm going to write one for when the kids to use if they want to do an obituary on the old guy but that hasn't been done yet. We assume eventually we would find out that the other one passed but that's not today. I haven't heard if he made it to the Nevada border I believe it Mesquite where he's planning on spending the night before it goes on into California then Mexico is home and he's pretty excited about getting home he's been on the road for some time..
