waiting patiently......
ok, so i spent the bulk of my day waiting today......in dentist and doctor's offices.......in the barbershop.....at the pharmacy.......mostly entertained with my current book....j.c.oates we were the mulvaney's which nicely handled flashbacks, btw........there is a tie for most amusing moment while waiting....between the 2004 nascar 'classic' reruns on the television at the barbershop......and the 80-year old woman who sat next to me at hall's and explained to me her current list of prescription medicines, and opined that she didn't understand how someone as healthy as she could possibly need to take 20 pills a day.......i tried to remain unmoved by her attempts at conversation.....but the elderly are so downright persistent.......making new friends while waiting at the drugstore........but i digress from reading j.c. oates.....yet another goodwill purchase......this book is thicker than most of the harry potter series.....and at this point (1 inch from the ending) i am fearful that j.c. oates is is planning to kill off or disable just about every mulvaney, including the daughter's cat (named muffin)........this book has its moments of brilliance......it is a sort of dramedy.......or tragicomedy........i would have preferred a bot more humor and a little less down-and-out.......please, god...let the cat live on.......
