Today is April 1st. It is the beginning of “Honor Your Father” month. Tradition is that you send your Dad $1 per day for the whole month.
Tomorrow is April 2nd. It will mark 54 years of marriage. You all know the story but it was a weekend wedding because I was going to UW-Oshkosh. I had to choose between getting married or studying chemistry. I made the right choice. To my Bride of 54 years, Happy Anniversary.
Your Mom had a tooth pulled yesterday. The dentist doesn’t pull teeth any more. It is done by an oral surgeon and it is called an “oral extraction”. That means they can charge more. The surgeon prescribed 3 drugs (one antibiotic and two pain pills) and they “called in” the prescription to our local druggist. I went to pick up the drugs and I was told they weren’t ready. It would be 15-30 minutes. When I went back, I was told we couldn’t get the “drug discount” because your Mom’s insurance coverage wasn’t in the computer. They needed her insurance drug card (which I didn’t have with me). I paid full price. I was told to bring her drug card and the receipt for the drugs back for credit which I did this morning. It took 15 minutes to get it straightened out. Really? Bottom line is we got your Mom relief but is was a “circus” performance.
My sympathy goes out to Grasshopper No.4 and family. They lost their cat “Squirty” to old age. 22 years of memories will live forever.
I know I am tempting fate but tomorrow I am having my snow tires taken off my car. Would you believe snow is scheduled for Friday.
The Milwaukee Brewers opened yesterday. It must be getting close to Summer.
The Wisconsin Badgers are still dancing. There is a family bet on the NCAA tournament. A Wisconsin victory (or loss) swings the results one way or another.
Enjoy the warm. Really?
Love,
Dad
