Took my nephew to the Itchetucknee today. Called him last night to charge the water proof camera. When I picked him up, I asked him where the camera was. His sister took it to the beach. She does not even go in the water. Makes you shake your head.

My mother will be 78 this month. Last year she was over a friend's house and the guy jumped her. She was not interested and fended him off. Once a natural beauty, always a natural beauty.

My sister has been looking for someone for my mother for a while and set my mother up with one of my sister's patients.

The guy took her out one night and last Friday had her over for dinner with his daughter. I met him. He was a nice guy.

Tonight he called her and asked her to a movie.

In a phone call that lasted less than ten seconds, my mother said, "Look Bill," in tone that would chill a hot day in Florida,  "I am not interested in dating," and bam hung up the phone.

It is not the rudest thing I have seen a woman do, but I told her it was.

She could not have cared less and did not give the poor guy one second thought.

If you thought it was going to get easier when you got older, it is not.
