I have had occasions – probably close to 20 – in the last three months to closely observe and have some interaction with a whole bunch of medical professionals – doctors (I think they prefer to be called physicians), nurses, CNAs, therapists, lab techs, office managers, etc.
Blame it all on my roots.
I showed up in ... KILTS?
Corner - Larry Franklin: The longer Donald J. Trump is the president, the more political My Current Wife becomes. I yearn for the days of George W. Bush (write it down, I actually wrote that) when The Little Woman never had a political thought to cross her muddled mind.
We interrupt our not-regularly-scheduled retirement update to ask you this: which part of freedom (be it expression, speech, assembly) do you freaking not understand?
Oh. And by the way, your president is a complete idiot. Nope. Take that back. He’s an evil genius. He is a mastermind in changing the narrative away from what a complete and total flop he is to those horrible SOBs in the NFL.
Since you asked, let me give you another retirement update. Last time, I told you I have shaved everyday since I retired (except Saturdays, which don’t count). That has continued.
Another thing – I officially retired June 16. I have not had on a pair of long pants since. I’m a shorts and t-shirt kind of guy. I went to a meeting last week at City Hall (you may know it as the M.S. Bailey Municipal Center – brought to you by M.S. Bailey and Son, Bankers).
A few days back, I wrote an Editorial that said the worst thing President Trump can do is turn DACA over to a Congress that has not passed one single piece of meaningful legislation (except the Affordable Care Act) in 12 years.
It’s not “immoral” to offer voters a sandwich.
After the District 55 School Bond Referendum failed on Sept. 5, there was much righteous indignation among the winners about the “Yes” group handing out coupons for fish sandwiches.
Corner -- Larry Franklin
If you read MyClintonNews.com last Wednesday, you noticed that North Broad Street in front of The Chronicle office was a disaster zone. Reports from people who still work there indicate it started Tuesday.
So, as a journalist, you always want to be in the right place at just the right time. It’s nearly impossible, but everyone has to have a goal in life.
It explains why so many of us died Sept. 11, 2001 trying to get into the Twin Towers. It explains why journalists want to be war correspondents. It explains why I have applied to my publisher for hazardous duty, county council pay.
By Larry Franklin
I’ve shaved every day. Except Saturday. Saturdays don’t count. Repeat. Saturdays don’t count.
One thing I’ve noticed about retired people — like moi — is that they stopped shaving. To be honest, this is more of a thing with males than females.
