19. Families. What can you do?

I told you about a second cousin who told me to "fuck off" after I sent him something about Bandy. Being so old that I remember Lenny Bruce saying "fuck you" should only be directed at those you love ..... but I still think the kid was attempting to insult me. What do you think? Was he combining "fuck you" and "beat off"? Maybe I shouldn't have thought him a jerk-off.

I'm supposed to spend about five days with my old dog Kelly, who accompanied and enhanced numerous walks with me over the years. Darren and his lady are going on vacation, and Kelly resides there. But he is old and in poor health now. Darren just picked him up from the vet's, and he looks terrible. I hope he lives until I can hang out with him, but I have my doubts.
