So I was talking to my niece Julie Klam and she reminded me of something I left out.

Since she’s a famous writer I am immediately taking her advice.

I was talking to my sister and my niece on Face time and as we wind down we each say what we’re having for dinner.

Marcia said “hot dogs.”

And Julie asked “and beans”

And Marcia said “No because I have to take Beano with beans and I have none”

At Julie’s suggestion I will add to my list of things about living alone:

No need for Beano!

It takes a village to write a blog.

It’s been over 10 years.

Let’s start with me.

I don’t have to go on that fuckin’ boat any more.

I can lie across my king size bed when I go to sleep so I can see the TV better.

I don’t have to have the heat up to 90 in what used to be Dave’s office and is now my guest room.

Now his.

Since I do all the business for our Corporation and even still some of his I’ve been emailing him for month’s to send me some forms so that we can collect money owed to our publishing company.

I sent him an email for the millionth time last night at 2 a.m. because it’s 2 p.m. in Japan and he hasn’t started drinking yet.

Here was his answer.

“I’ll get back to you day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is David Matthews Festival Day in Hachinohe, so I’ll be busy all day”.

Nuff said.

Now Zen
