Only one thing spoiled the lunch.
My stupidity.
To explain, I was in the middle of
treating my forehead for pre-cancer
cells which had congregated up there
like supporters at a Bernie Sand-
ers Rally. F)art of the treatment was
smearing medical goop on the affect-

years, told me to do it. I always do
what Dr. Robert says.
So just before we left for Houston.
I removed my cap and glasses and

What a fine sight I was.
Then off we roared.
