Maybe this is why men die before their wives... who gets more lung exercise? In the stereotypical relationship, at any rate, the wind typically only blows in one direction.

Also, we like it when you bring back the memories these little stints dig up. I'm sure my grandpa had them, but never shared. Closest we got to a sense of things was when my sister was telling a story of an ex that had fleeced her (credit card company's poor security at fault, but she got left with the bill to the tune of $26k...) and he got up and had the phone in hand, and my grandma freaked out and convinced him to... not call someone... and return to the table, and another solid game of hand-and-foot. No idea who he was going to call, but... he was first gen American of Italian descent. So my imagination goes a little boggled crazy.

Carry on, after your nap.

Maybe you'll have a tale of fabric blowing in the breeze to your advantage next time 'round.

Good life hint about the deep breathing ......

Maybe your grandfather was going to "call in a favor" ......
