Senile? That’s the operative word nowadays, isn’t it, Shirl? You know, it’s funny. When I was young, I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my 50s I was considered eccentric.

My pop was real big. He did like he pleased. That’s why everybody worked on him. The last time I seen my father, he was blind and diseased from drinking. And every time he put the bottle to his mouth, he didn’t suck out of it, it sucked out of him until he shrunk so wrinkled and yellow even the dogs didn’t know him. I’m not saying they killed him. They just worked on him. The way they’re working on you. ---
