Textual

I refused to get involved in texting until doctors’ offices forced me to. They required it to confirm appointments, and I’d stubbornly refused to participate before.

I am also known as a grumpy responder. Real estate people eager to buy my property for outrageous amounts have found that the obscenity of my vocabulary is only matched by my inability to type accurately. If they attempt to parse my meaning, they might find that my descriptions of what they should do defy the anatomical capabilities of the human body. Sailors learn early how to abuse the English language.

My second favorite texters are the Politicians. These turkeys really scare me. As a taxpayer, I worry about what they might do if entrusted with our government. I am worried that most of them are marionettes for the big investors who bought them with mega-dollar “donations.”
I’m from New York City, where politicians stay bought if they know what’s good for them – ‘Nuff said!

So it may come as a surprise that I regularly follow the antics of my grandson as they are text messaged to me. I also send out the doings of the kittens to the rest of an adoring family.

Hey, what can I say? A guy has to keep up with things.
