A great story, Gary! I've read it twice and plan to read it several times more.  It makes me feel good after I read it. It's one of my favorite short stories.

Thanks, Terry!   I got another great review this morning for "Merry Christmas", a short story I wrote for an anthology.  

Wait... I think it was a prompt story... yeah....

Friday morning at work started with a phone call to the police, so that was fun.

One of my patients and the teenage girl who helps at the front desk were waiting when I pulled into the clinic.  I was told there was "a body" in the front vestibule of the building.  Turns out to be a guy (possibly homeless) taking a nap.

That must have been a relief!

Aloha Albert, I'm good thanks. I just got back home after calming my friend, he's annoyed with his ex. We were supposed to be taking his son out for the day and right at the last minute, his ex messaged him to say he can't see his son as she has taken him out. My friend doesn't get to see his son very often as she is always cancelling on him at the last minute. I could rant but I won't. 😠

I hope you and Steve are having a better day.

Hello young Albert

We had the yummy honey dumplings again, a special treat  

With Spring approaching we might need to think on a different dessert for the next family celebration…

Hi Man

Sorry to hear about your friend's woes - it’s never good when the kids get caught in the crossfire between ex partners

Chocolate cake?

Good night everyone

I am keeping fingers crossed for some “good” weather tomorrow for the drive back home.

It's so annoying, it's the little man who will suffer the most as a result of it.

Chocolate cake is always a good choice

Maybe with some powdered beetroot to add to the mix

Next you'll make it with zucchini?

It's looking that way, if my friend wants to do that he will have my full support. If he uses my solicitor I can get him a discount on the legal fees.
