Suprise for Bloomberg

Dad's sister was born in 1906 and died in the early 1990s. After attending nursing school in California, she returned home to Texas and lived with her parents for the rest of their lives. This weekend, I learned some amazing things about her.

"My sister met a man and fell in love. Then they got married."

"The man my sister married became the mayor of New York City. He is now the mayor of New York City. That is where they live."

"My sister's picture is on the front page of the New York Times because she is married to the mayor of New York City."

"I saw my sister's picture on the front page of the Dallas Morning News because she is the wife of the mayor of New York City. She is a very beautiful woman."

"The mayor of New York City married my sister because she is so beautiful."

Age

Dad has obsessed about his age for several years. Tonight he was talking about how old he was. After saying that he was very old and still quite young almost in the same breathe, he said, "I wish I knew how old I am."

I told him that he is 88.

His response: "Well, I'll be dad gummed. I had no idea I was that old!"
