Lisciandros Redux

Mr. Morton P. Champlain writes in his suggestion: "I heard that you were kind of down about it but that you were doing the best you could with it, and I admire that."

Elmo Fettersmith enjoins with, "One of the things you have to keep in mind about location is that your own perception is rather one-sided because you're only aware of where you actually WERE every week, and you tend not to think of the much greater number of places you COULD have been. It's just another example of the way people don't think outside the box when they should widen their perspective."

Return to Lisciandros

I've been on jury duty for a week, so I haven't been to my favorite place for breakfast, Lisciandros. So, when I show up somebody is going to say something like "Where have you been hiding?" or "Haven't seen you around much lately," stuff like that. You never know who will come up with something, but you have to be prepared, so I've got some replies I just thought of; but I'm open to suggestions. None of them are going to be as good as my Father's standard reply to a question like this, "I've been carving a new wooden bunghole for a hobbyhorse. Would you like a ride when I'm done?"

"You know I thought things were going to change once I retired, but no matter what I do, there's always going to be a lot more people I didn't see during the week than people I saw. So, count yourself among the many who were disappointed, or, perhaps, lucky."

"Of all the places I didn't go last week, you were at the top of my list. I want you to know that."

"Why don't you tell me what it was like dealing with those emotions, because I've been so busy lately, I can hardly get any time away from me. So, what's it really like? Is it like a missing limb?"
