As for my neighbors staying out of trouble,
I had supper in the dining hall this weekend with two fellow residents
who live down the hall with their pet cat Angus, whom I have not met.
One of the ladies recalled a dining room disaster from a few years ago,
when she tripped on the rug and landed face first, breaking her nose.
Ambulance to the ER and so on. She can laugh about it now.
You wouldn't know to look at her that her nose had been broken.
What a scary thing.
But ambulances are well acquainted with our retirement community. It is teaching me to walk slowly and carefully.

Be careful not to talk yourself into being old.

In the radio news headlines this morning my ears perked up about the murder of Rob Reiner. The BBC news was on covering non-US stuff so I pulled up the New York Times report. His father Carl is still alive (98), but I fear the loss of Rob and Michele, possibly at the hands of his grandson, is going to take out both Carl and his best friend Mel Brooks, who was so tight with that family.

That family is going to have a terrible time sorting out the trouble ahead. Murders don't usually happen without anger and/or mental illness accelerating the violence.

According to The Guardian, Carl Reiner died in 2020.
A terrible tragedy, what just happened.
Mental illness is a terrible scourge.
