   Remember “free speech” does not apply to private businesses (like GoComics), only to government-run things. And not always them, either.

   My wife had a whole drawer full of such clothes for years, with more on the “mending pile” (awaiting minor alteration). She didn’t get rid of them until a couple months after her “inoperable liver cancer” diagnosis. Hope dies hard.

   For most of my adult life I have had a 3×5 index card and a pen or mechanical pencil in the breast pocket of my shirt, as a minimum. And a cell phone during the last 15-20 years. It’s getting harder to find a phone that will fit, though.

   I have a fit of giggling at so many of Mr Thompson’s “Restaurant Closing” pages. This one did it to me with “gravel, silt or pumice.”

   So they don’t waste any more of their vacation time dealing with the time-share sellers.

   Gina’s lament was an underlying thought for me for decades. It was a lie I told myself because I felt lonely sometimes, and I saw so many others pairing up. Even while I had a successful career and good friends, I felt lonely. With help I was able to work through that, and at 48 married. (Yes, it’s a long time to wait!) The next 28 years were worth the wait. My wife died last year, and the old loneliness feelings revisit more than I care for. I might never again be somebody’s somebody, but I’m mine, and God’s. Mark Twain said, “A man’s about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.” I’m happy.

    “One of my specialties” What a great opening for someone who wants to talk about “nothing.” And I love how Gina brightens up then.
