One day my Aunt Patty visits, we're alone, with Barney and she asks me what it was. I told her that Barney is older and the vet said he needed this hearing aid. When you talk to Barney you need to talk louder and try to speak facing the hearing aid. So now she is leaning way forward and practically yelling, "Poor Barney, I am sorry to hear about your hearing problems." And that's when my father walks and asks Aunt Patty why she is talking so loud. I couldn't stop laughing. My mother, her sister loved that story and I repeated it whenever the family got together. Aunt Patty loved it too. Upon reflection, for the very first time, I wonder if my Aunt was putting me on just to give me a good story.

Mr. tomwed you are a real pip. Other than the cooking thing which I get NOTHING but a kick out of you think just like me. The Barney thing is surely something I wish I thought of. Don't ever leave us tomwed, we are all bright spots in one way or another but you are really SOMETHING ELSE. Just in case you couldn't hear NOTHING! You're the man.
