Replace...

Whaddya think of?

I remember my once favorite mattress. Then, a spring bore thru. Damnit darnit. Jetset to NFM? (That's an abbreviation we 'in-a-hurry' societal misguided nerds use to replace syllables, ie, Nebraska Furniture Mart so we can say, get point across, faster. Kinda like today's QT, ASAP, STAT). Call Mattress World?

If you don't know me and maybe you just got here, of course not. You flip it and go back to bed for another 5, 10, 15 years.

Witness. Can I get a witness. Four, very old fogies, childhood friends, on the back deck of the clubhouse after a fun (mostly) round of golf. What once was talk of Betsy in the Junior class, Dr. J in the NBA, and, 'Have you seen the new '67 Chevy Chevelle at Parrish Chevrolet?' has been replaced by talk, demonstration of hip, knee replacements, wife(s) #2, tax gripes, the market dropping, the cost of kids already raised, TP, gas, eating out, yada.

But ohhhhh what a joy that is. Play at the park (again), traipses thru mud, mega sugar fixes...drop em (g-babies) off at home, "Have fun mom and dad", ie, it not my yob man (baths, laundry, hard to get to bed.)

Midnight has been replaced by 9pm. Oh baby oh baby, tri-weekly now try weekly (or weakly).

Two story, now ranch.

New story, now, recycled story, "yeah, I remember you u telling us that."

Liveable payday, now SS plus however good (or bad) you planned otherwise.

Run/walk. Get up, go/sit, stay.

Gotta do that, now!/Tomorrow, I'll do it tomorrow.

Rainy days and Mondays, TGIF/What day is it? Where's my pillbox?

Bright eyed, bushy tailed/Saggy eyes, bushy, long eyebrows.

New hair-do/New ear hair.

Uber/Damnit Jim, I was the DD last time.

Long walks/Long talks.

Growing in the garden from seed/Fungus growth in the Tupperware left due to neglect/absentmindedness.

Counting the days till vacation/Thank you Lord for this, another day.

Now, young punks, Guillermo and Jimmy...after, wanna fool around?/ Remembering Ed and Johnny, now, ED after.

"We are living in miraculous times where connections are made at the blink of an eye, the tap of the thumb, and the click of a mouse. We can never replace human interaction, but these simple actions can be powerful and meaningful to those we connect with. " Christy Turlington

DON'T ANSWER THAT....it's (so and so)...he/she rambles on... I'll call or text him/her, tomorrow..if I remember.

We can't go back and fix, redo, physically relive yesterday.  We have wonderful memories in their place.

It's a good time and place. We are lucky. We must love and live, one, because we should. Two, for those who never got the chance.

There's no replacing them.

Love, Victurd
