One thought on “Good Analogy

  1. Been with the same woman since 1962. Can’t seem to shake her. Follows me everywhere I go — Philippines, California, back to the P.I., Illinois, South Carolina, Florida . . . .

    No doubt whatever that she’s the reason I’m still around . . . kept me purty much outta the bars and off the streets back when I was immortal and stuck on stupid.

    Good woman. GREAT cook. Perfect mother. Doting grandmother. Fire in her belly is basically an ember now, but it flares up with a resounding “PUTANGINA!” from time to time, ricocheting throughout the house, frightening the dogs.

    Finally figured out her routines, foibles, triggers, redlines, favorites . . . . . I mean, hell, after more’n 60 years I damned shure shoulda.

    Hair white now, and thin ‘cuz of the prophylactic meds which prevent a recurrence of the cancer which took her very nice boobies. Macular degeneration, so she can’t drive . . . . but who wants 87-yr-old SEAsian women drivin anyhow.

    Rough ride at times, kinda like ridin a banca boat down Pagsanjan Falls in the rainy season. Fun, tho, and I’d like to go back and do it all over again.
