After the kind donation from the DAV Chapter 57 for the Veterans at The Manor last night
my inquisitive mind began to calculate if and when I might be a Veteran resident of The Manor!
Not soon I hope but I would often visit Raymond and his African blue and gold macaw whom I
find to be delightful, though a bit noisy. The haunted halls, especially at night, make my bones
shudder and I hear the clashing with every step in my moccasin slippers as I plan my escape.
A cordial visit from my brotherhood of Elks would always be welcomed especially with the bags
of goodies with no sugar. I would rename it The Manor Castle where King James abides unchained
in the upstairs dungeon which is accessed by the rickety elevator from long long ago.
This is only a remote possibility after 2035 and a chance to think about the future.
