You wanna know what I lost, Boston Devil? I'll tell you what I lost!
I lost six days every week -- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They are all Xdays -- I can't tell one from the other. I used to have a rhythm for skiing, scheduled card games, and TV sports. Now there is nothing, zilch, nada, zero!
I can tell Sunday because I go into town and get the NY Times to read, but the bagel place I shopped at for Sunday breakfast is now closed -- maybe for good.
On a less philosophical level, I lost a trip to SC and my high school reunion in two weeks. All the worst because if Duke had been in the FF, I was gonna bag the reunion and drive to Atlanta for the games. So that's two losses, isn't it?
I don't know yet about scheduled trips to Costa Rica in June with a grandson and South Africa in September for birds and wildlife.
