Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:
A guy just now knocked on my door and handed me a
Christmas gift.
He said he could hear me groaning as I approached
the door.
It's one of my bad habits stemming from years of
loneliness.
Since I'm always by myself, it doesn't matter if
I holler when I'm in pain, because there's nobody to hear
me.
For much the same reason, because I'm always
alone, it's perfectly all right if I constantly talk to myself, because there's
no one around to hear.
A couple of months ago, when I was hospitalized
for severe blood poisoning, the staff was alarmed that I was hollering as
they transferred me from the gurney to the
bed.
But, there was no problem with what they were
doing.
It's just that I was completely unaware that I
was making all that noise.
I discovered several months ago that my cell
phone's Blue Tooth headset has an unexpected
advantage.
I was walking around inside the
grocery store wearing the Blue Tooth, but had forgotten and left my cell phone
in my truck.
So, there I was, constantly talking
to myself.
But, it didn't matter, because with
the Blue Tooth visible on my head, everyone thought I was engaged in a telephone
conversation!
Anyway, if any of you all see me
audibly moaning and groaning as I move around, don't be
concerned.
It's just a careless habit acquired
through years of living alone, with no reason to try and be
silent.
Have you ever seen the Hollywood
movies or read stories about the mountain men?
That's sort of how they
were.
When they finally got a chance to be
around other human beings, they'd go wild, really let their hair down, unwind,
and talk nonstop for days and days, around the clock.
So, don't worry about
me.
I'm perfectly all right, and what I'm
doing is perfectly normal - - - ,
That is, until they come and take me
away, huh?
Thank you.
1800 Beach Drive,
Unit 311
