Don't Christmatize it

An outburst to encapsulate a number of age-old points this morning.  The impossible-to-respond-to criticisms of a say-one-thing-do-another "culture" that actually seems universal to the human condition.  But what do I know?  When seeking an excuse to be angry, it is always a one line out of nowhere that triggers the justification for it, something you would have to be a master prognosticator to anticipate, and introduced to the conversation when wholly unprepared because the processing of the throw-away sentence has taken a day or two before it is re-spoken.  Usually can be traced back to an insecurity over finances, or some other concern relating to a loss of independence.

How to react?  Based on prior experience - time is the healer.  As with the flu, so with the emotional roller-coaster.  Will "Christmatize" become a new word to form the punchline of future jokes.  With any luck.  

So get some work done, take a drive with the big man to J.W. Doull in an hour or two after getting a bit of work done seems like the ticket.  But man.  This whole life experience, balancing human unpredictability.  Thought about referencing the funny story last night of Rodney who stumbled over his lack of pick-up lines outside the hospital into a "let us pray" that actually seems a decent approach.  But let's not introduce any further unpredictable entries into the typical arc of recovery.
