They Do Talk About Us!!!Yesterday I chauffeured Rene to the tea shop to meet with her girlfriends and therefore I had to remain instead of escaping! I always knew that certain conversations could lead to discussions about men and our "flaws"; I must report that I was right.
The topic of "men being men" didn't take long to begin amongst these four women and they forget or ignored that I was the lone male in their midst. It seems the the "flaw" of the moment is our inability to place objects in their correct location! It is perfectly logical for we men to put Tupperware items with pots and pan; it does when the pots and pan have space for it.
Knowing that no good would come from any rebuttals, I kept quiet enjoyed my tea. My choice in teas soon became another topic. I like a very brutish form of tea and this place has it. I just tell them to bring me any tea that has a lot of "dirt" and I get a pot that smells like mud after a rain storm (don't ask why, I like it!).
In all of this, Rene had a wonderful time, I "ducked" any questions that would lead to explainations on why I would answer that way. So to all you husbands, boyfriends, and fiancees (you may still have time), we are doomed to being wrong and flawed. Now that you know it, enjoy being yourselves, they still keep us around for some reason!

Dear Eugene, Scotty just informed me of what was happening with your beautiful wife and I was devastated. He sent me the link to your blog and it actually made me feel better for some strange reason. To see a smile on Renes face gave me such great hope for her and you both.
I was so sorry to hear about your Daddy. I have great trust that he is in a better place, free of pain and smiling down on all who loved him. God bless you Brother, you have had a lot on your plate. I would love to hear from you and I look forward to Renes continued good health. Thank you for sharing your brave journey, both of you. Take Care, Susie
P.S. Men really have no clue where to put things...
