Re: Thoughts

I had another former covensib who admired something I was wearing - actually, it was just a long-sleeved t-shirt that had sequin trim sewed around the neckline and the sleeves. We managed to puzzle out the equivalents between men's sizes and womens's sizes, and he gave me the money to buy him a similar shirt in his favorite color. I miss him - he died a few weeks ago; he had MS, and was in a nursing home, and he just refused to take the medicine that had been keeping him alive, because he couldn't stand the way he was "living". (He might have gotten COVID19, because nursing homes are giant Petri dishes for contagious diseases. Or it could just have been the general deterioration characteristic of the condition; he couldn't eat or use the toilet without help, and his speech was becoming garbled. But he wore a sequined shirt in public.
