Pants zipped?
Cellphone?
Wallet?
Keys?
I guess I'm gonna hafta post this on our bedroom door so that maybe Ron will actually leave the house with everything he needs.
The last episode took place during a recent period he was broadcasting from the City County building. It was mid morning when he discovered he didn't have his wallet. He called home to see if I could locate it. I did. It was still in the jacket he had worn the day before. Guess who got to go all the way downtown to take it to him?
Today, he had a speaking engagement at Central High School. On his way, he was going to drop by the post office and mail a letter for me, which he tried to do but couldn't because when he got there, he realized he didn't have his wallet. I got the call, only this time he knew exactly where it was. You guessed it. Yesterday's jacket pocket. And now I get to take it to him. Only this time, by God, he'll have to buy me lunch.
Don't go thinking I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. I can't tell you how many times he's left his cellphone at work. That, or his wallet. He is a forgetful man and I know why. It's not age, believe me. He's always been like this. It's that he does everything in such a friggin' hurry.

I rush and rush until life's no fun,
All I really got to do is live and die,
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why." -"I'm In A Hurry", Alabama

Ron
he needs a man purse..of course sounds like he might wind up forgetting that at home too
Oh, how well I understand. First husband would've lost his head if wasn't attached (like Mama used to say).
When kids were young and would play grown up, they'd rush around looking for keys, briefcase, etc 'cause they thought that's what all grown ups did. AND in their world, it was pretty true.
