Hello , My Friends .
Have you ever done something in public that embarrassed you ? Say for instance , Compliment a young lady on how radiant she looks in a family way , only to be told she's Not in a family way ? Or how about , Hey , Honey , wear the red dress it makes you look better ? When it doesn't ?
Being 72 has it's perks though . I can move slower in the mall and make folks go around me , Just because I want to . I can be crabby in public because it's expected of me .and so on . The hard part for me is this .
I know the distance from the table to my mouth . I must be spinning the fork or something , because I wind up wearing more food particles and gravy drops than I used to . What's up with that ? I have not gained weight either ! At least in the hobby area and the workshop I only stick myself once or twice a month with an X-Acto knife .That's normal with a screwed up hand though .
Sometimes I wish fervently I could use my left hand like I did when younger . I could do the same stuff with it I did with my right , sometimes better. The right trembles terribly when I bring that cockpit part to the sidewall .Gees , missed that pin again .
In ships it's funnier . have you ever seen a ship with the mast coming out of the stack ? That is why I got an opti - visor finally . Now this is with new glasses , mind you ! In armor , what little I do , It takes me a week to do Fruilmodel tracks !
You know though when it's my time , They will have to pry theX-Acto or paintbrush out of my cold hand . Because I will model on till that day , all senior Faux- Pas notwithstanding !
