Not for me, of course, but attached to a well-turned female ankle. <BR/><BR/>Just as soon as I get back from an appointment I'm going to catch up with your posts. It will help cheer me up.

You're right though, getting old sucks.<BR/>bellezza: I have been paying attention!<BR/>phlegmfatale: I had to chuckle at your response because the point you make was driven home to me this morning. I was p.o.'d at my son this morning because he was being a typical teenage boy and when I dropped him off at school I headed off in exactly the wrong direction from where my first appointment was. I then had to drive four or five unnecessary miles to correct my mistake. I wonder if my wife would let me hire a young, comely assistant who would always make sure I was wherever I was supposed to be, on time, and fully prepared. Probably not.The Atavisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529157597486952484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-1750862815695247812008-09-29T21:28:00.000-04:002008-09-29T21:28:00.000-04:00You know, I have certain rituals I go through - li...You know, I have certain rituals I go through - like always always ALWAYS putting my bank card back into its sheath after using the ATM, but oddities like having a niece or nephew in the car, or the phone ringing can throw me out of my routine and make me unusually ditzy. Still, I try to recover quickly and try not to seem too much of an airhead, with varied success.phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-90298477113660584582008-09-29T15:13:00.000-04:002008-09-29T15:13:00.000-04:00How did you know?!How did you know?!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-86788371138223076652008-09-29T14:19:00.000-04:002008-09-29T14:19:00.000-04:00It sucks getting old.It sucks getting old.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269114655802698386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-48675075169819386742008-09-29T13:53:00.000-04:002008-09-29T13:53:00.000-04:00So, where did the money go, Bellezza?

Certainly, much lower than I remembered. Knowing that I've been in the classroom for most of September, and not at Tiffany's, I stopped at the bank on my home for work.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, I did not get irate when I asked for my balance and where each withdrawal was made because "Someone is using my debit card!"
