TLW (The Little Woman) says I never listen to her. She says
she talks to me and I don’t pay attention. And now she is making new claims
about my attentiveness.
I have to disagree with her: there are extenuating
circumstances that cause my temporary disengagement in our conversations.
Furinstance: I’m watching a ballgame, the Mets have no one
on base, there are 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth and David Wright is up,
has a full count and the pitch is coming down the pike. Suddenly, TLW stands in
front of the TV, and I miss the strike out. (What did you expect, I did say the
Mets), or The Jets are hopelessly behind, it is the last quarter, they are down
by 30 points (They are having a good day!) there are 40 seconds left in the game
and the opposition has the ball. Just as the snap is coming, there stands TLW
once again telling me something. I miss the end of the game. (See above the
Mets)

Then recently, she went out “To get my hair done”, came home
and that was it. We go out to the city see a play eat and travel the Long
Island Railroad, and I don’t think about saying anything of her new do. Why?
Because whenever she does anything to her hair, like a haircut, it is so subtle
that it is hard to notice. Well she tells one of her Wanna-Be-Bank & Truss
Co. associates I didn’t notice.
Well, I got a haircut, she came home and guess what? Yes,
she didn’t say a word! Do you see me going around the world telling everyone
she doesn’t notice when I get a haircut? Nooooo!
Let’s face it folks, at our age, we don’t notice too much
because it might make us: Irregular, incontinent, tired or force us to miss a
nap, so we shouldn’t get too excited about things.
Today is St. Joseph’s Day and I didn’t get any cream puffs
again!
