A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

COMMENTS ARE ENCOURAGED, WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED.

0726 are you watching?

The problem about this blog is I never know who’s reading it until I say something that jolts someone’s memory. Case in point, the entry on July 24 about Chris.

I was reminded that I used to hang out with two attractive women, but the three of us were just friends. There wasn’t any romance between me and each of them (though I don’t know about between the two of them .... I wasn’t that curious).

One year, on Valentine’s Day, the three of us didn’t have any plans, so we met for dinner. While consoling each other, we made a pact. If any of us were without a date on the next year’s Valentine’s Day, we would get together for dinner to console each other again.

Fast forward fifty-one weeks. It’s a few days before Valentine’s Day the following year and I don’t have a date (no surprise there). So I called one of them up and asked if she had any plans for Valentine’s Day. She said, “Yes. I’m having dinner.”

Cool, I thought. She was able to get a date. At least one of us was lucky enough. Curiosity got the better of me, so I asked, “With who?”

She replied, “With YOU!” We laughed about it.

A few hours later, the third member of our trio called and asked, “Are we still on for the dinner?”

I wonder if we’re still meeting in 2009 ....
