Judith Martin, you absolutely correct.  The chronology of procedures and dodged bullets can wear down the soul.  I have one particularly dear friend who never misses the opportunity to tell and retell the story of his life in operations, and as he grows older (thankfully), more items are added to the list.

Strange how we move from breast feeding and colic to vasectomies to hip operations on our way through life.  I don’t know which is worse —  baby talk or bypass chatter.  Give me politics any day !!!   

I’ve lived in DC and I’ve lived in a small town in the mountains of southern Colorado, all the gossip is the same.  It’s just in the small town, people didn’t spend their money building garages, so you could tell who was staying over where by whose car was parked in whose driveway.  I think in DC there are garages so the confirmation is a little harder to determine.  I think that’s the only difference.

But then, in DC there is the "help" that will talk.  In the mountains, there’s no "help" to talk..unless you are living in Aspen or Vail……and that’s a little more like living in DC.  They have three-four car garages, probably the overnighters park their car in one of the garages.
