Necessary Mutilation

What a wonderful evening Tom and I spent with Nancy and Charlie!  Once again eating was the centerpiece — first at a restaurant and afterwards for dessert and coffee into the evening at our house. Although I’m the only obese one of us, I know we all enjoyed the food as well as the company.  How nice to be able to discuss a full range of subjects with reciprocity and interest — and that bringing up my impending surgery consult is met with intelligent questions and interest rather than blank stares or self-conscious and uncomfortable repertory.
