I'm back home. We got in yesterday at around 7 pm (that's why I missed the Swiss Miss meeting). I have an Estate tour today. I have to get moving. Oh, right, I hvae to get dressed, don't I (I've just been thinking about brushing my teeth).

It was good. We met a friend of mda's BIL. She's a woman in her 50s from Samoa. Sweetest woman, man. Just a really big heart. Also a widow - her husband died last year. That's the first time I've ever referred to mda's mom as a widow (although i've thought it).

What the hell is it with me writing this post with really short sentences?

We sat out on a beach in Mackinaw City & saw 5 different fireworks shows at the same time. Although I will admit that I like watching fireworks that are close up - they're more impressive; still, there's a first time for everything.

Short sentences are good. Hemingway wrote many a short sentence. Short attention spans are not good, and I best focus on finishing the drive home and not linger here at Panera any longer. I best just say howdy and move on.

My mother's a widow, but my Dad is living. Is that a riddle?

Anyway, welcome back!

My mother's a widow

Yes, that's a riddle. 2nd marriage? 1st marriage?

I never went beyond whatever Hemingway short story they made us read in High school. He's one of those people I know I should at least appreciate, but, nah, I've never had the GUTS!

Did I ever answer? D'Oh!!

Yes, her second husband made her a widow...

I've only read Hemingway's short stories... He's an acquired taste. There's only so much you need to know about bullfighting and fishing, (unless maybe ... it's ... it's a (omigod) metaphor...
