Relaxation

The pastor preached on honoring one's mother and father.
Coincidental to being with Papa in spirit watching hockey.
The Rangers lost and I remembered my mother saying,
"Live in hope; die in despair." Somewhat obtuse. Annoying.

Presently at Denny's going through the online routine.
My mother was a great cook and an excellent homemaker.
I miss her too. It was tough listening to the pastor.
No children of my own, so parenting not an issue with me.

But dealing with "young people" can be annoying too.
Mostly under these service circumstances.
Most are very cooperative and hard working.
Some think themselves superior to the customer!

Old story: some want to compete rather than make friends.
Fortunately, this local Denny's has some friendly folks.
I'm comfortable here and they're very kind. Sweet.
I've no Internet service at home, and am dependent.
