Old Fools Journal: Her Highness The Princess (fanfare with horns)

Her highness the youngest princess arrive last evening. I fetched her myself and I'm really getting too old for this I guess because it wore me out. I don't drive much anymore, certainly not in traffic and never at night. I got some of both. Better planning will have to be done in the future or outside help. To tell you the truth I would have walked on broken glass in ankle deep lava through fire to have her here.

My grandfather knew his own limitations and quit driving at 65. I still believe that I am as safe a driver as anyone else but that's not saying much. I would like to say I used to be excellent better than average driver but in retrospect that's what everybody thinks and like everybody else it was an illusion. I never was worth a crap I just happened to have very good luck. I would rather have luck than skill any day but you can't count on it. It is only apparent that you have good luck after the fact.

The picture above is the delayed 2009 Christmas. Like the senior princess she has caused me nothing but joy. No disappointment just the heartache of separation. I'm old and experienced so I should be able to figure out how to fix that but I think that is something that can't be fixed only endured. The ladies are going shopping. You can practically see the smoke coming off the money.
