Nurse R Man
R Man's father is sick back on the East Coast, so R Man is flying back there on Thursday to offer succor and to help his older sister who is holding down the fort there now. R Man and I really don't like traveling without each other (despite my tendency towards vagueness, it turns out I'm much better at logistics. The rumor that I pin a note to his jacket when he leaves home alone, however, is just a big fat fib.) but this is one instance where I'm willing to offer long distance support. I adored R man's mother, but his father and I have a much more chilly relationship. Polite, but cool. I address him by his title, "Doctor," and he doesn't address me at all, if he can help it, which is ok by me. So, bon voyage to the R Man; if you're in the Baltimore airport this week and you bump into him, tell him I said "Hey."

ReplyDeleteR Man's father was a doctor in the Navy and so he grew up moving around, his parents just wound up in Annapolis when the old man retired.

I know, I know, they really do talk like that. Fortunately, it's not contagious.
Safe travels to the R man.
ReplyDelete"Get wellishes" for the Doctor. May R Man travel safely and miss his Mister P a lot.
