down down south

some of spring still here in Ocean Springs, azaleas in that fushia and red blaze...stumped on the philosophical/psychological perplexity of why does Dadz fear death so much at his ripe old age of 89??? he won't talk of it. But the other night at the bar while he was talking to a friend who is 95, the friend suddenly turned a slight shade of blue - Dadz waved frantically at the rest of us paying no attention to the two old geezers until Ron a doctor came over and patted the old white haired man on the shoulder until he caught his breath. This old man at 95 is supposed to be on oxygen all the time, only he smokes with the mask on - or tries to!!!!!!! his wife died less than a year ago, and as he says, "he's ready!" Dad worried about his all the way home and didn't believe me when i said he was 95 and i heard it from his daughter! Ah, well, life sure can get a strangle hold on some.
