I am happy that you included me in your Substack this week. I really don’t think of “Shit!” as a bad word. It is not taking the Lord’s name in vain, nor is it as vulgar as “F—K,” For me, it is cathartic …as when I accidentally spill water on my iPad, trip over the laundry basket at night on the way to the washroom, etc. Thanks for giving me credit. 🤗. (The biggest swear word Dad ever used was…Damn!)

Thanks ma. Someday I'll have to write an episode about you and that cigarette holder you used to break out on occasion... These are the sides of Janet that not everyone has gotten to witness. ❤️

I love reading your posts, Hal. Can always relate in some ways. Or appreciate. We got this super cool bike with Margaret and yesterday I felt self conscious about it instead of grateful. Thanks for the reminder. She got to have September sun and wind on her face and no one pushing her around. And I got that too. Happy for your nice night on your scooter.

Now I’ll think of you when I say “shit”! But only in a good way. Happy riding!

Kind of like your three-wheeler, I’ve had some big feelings this week about finally buying a shower chair. Insert something spiritually resonant here. Happy Saturday, Hal :)

I entered the shower chair club about a year ago. I love it. Congratulations! H

I'm so happy you bought the three-wheeler! Just in time to enjoy the beautiful fall weather in Kent. 💗

Me too Kelly. I went down to the Friday night music festival in Kent last night for a little while and I never had to look for a chair. It was a beautiful night in Kent.

When you said the call was from Akron, I thought: maybe the ghost of Dr Bob...
