Stay Cool

---

This old gal…

Has become a fretter…fret head…fret machine…frets about safety…health…driving…those daughters of hers…but mostly…frets…about being hot…

Has to plan ahead for any kind of outing…rather near or far…summer clothing all year round when driving…layers for outdoors…or restaurants…socks…half socks…or no socks…don’t want feet to swell…need clothes that breathe…otherwise hot sweaty me…suffocates…

And so it was…on our walk to the Alamo…weather report said cool temps but sunny…headed out from the hotel…and not more than a block in…the fretting began…the should haves…the what ifs…the I hopes…this fretting…annoying even…to the fretter…

This husband of mine stops mid walk…laughs…says pose here…take off those bags you always carry…and smile…to which his beautiful wife complied…

Here…he says…is a picture…of my hot wife…

Which honestly…she was pretty hot most of the day…touring the Alamo…watching archeologists excavate some land…at the musket firing demonstration…but come sundown…this hot chick…was suddenly cool…cool man Luke…cool dude…coolie von cooligan…and then the fretting takes a turn…

What if it gets too cold…
​
Then this husband of mine…would…agree…
