In my area we have grand large weekend early morning farm markets. But, more charming are the afterwork markets at some of our metro stops. They are much smaller and lines are nonexistent. I got some nice baby squash and a super chocolate chip cookie at the Clarendon market this afternoon. The Ballston market is tomorrow – but much rain is predicted for tomorrow. So, this might be my only trip to the afternoon markets this week. I will miss this when I move to the asylum.
On the asylum front. I went to see my doctor today. She said “Yes, you are still alive”. Next step, my “mental assessment”. That should be fun. Hope I can take it seriously. Guess if I don’t they will not let me in.
Well, Carlton… this time last year you were having radiation for your Merkel Cell Cancer. And we were trying to keep each other from knowing how worried we were. Other couples might have handled it differently. We didn’t have too many tears. But we did enjoy our last two years together. And we shared a bunch of sandwiches. I don’t miss you all the time anymore. Just most of the time. And, I have developed some habits that you would not approve of. Habits like Starbucks coffee. Going to Nats and DC United games. Taking in the occasional concert. As Cal from Iowa by way of Kona would have said “Widow spending the old man’s money”. Yep, that would be me.
