TOO MANY 4ths

After having completely forgotten of my single most important rheumatologist visit of yesterday, I can now say that I mix in my head too many dates with the 4th as day, in fact not only July the 4th is a national holiday here for the USA, but I can add also that November 4th is both the anniversary of my first name (onomastico in Italy) from Saint Carlo Borromeo (look at links below) and the anniversary of the day of "victory" in 1918 of my mother country (Italy) over Austria-Hungary. My only "excuse" for having confused the July 4th holiday with the double celebration of November 4th is only because the day of the month expressed by number......of course I cannot manage any money!! This kind of mistakes would have me become someone who must live under the bridge of a freeway and eat out of garbage cans! (as some notorious Ph. D. in fear assessed in writing of me and an even more notorious court decided to take it for good.....from this the saying, garbage in, garbage out).


As the permanently impatient man I've always been (since birth) I'm now both relieved and glad that I simply have to wait until Monday to be restarting my war of will and determination for my freedom and given that Monday is the day that my wonderful son will be back from his "solo camping trip" in North Carolina, I have very good feelings that my determination to win yet this other God-given war is going to be won just like any other I ever fought before, so sit down, relax and watch me win again.
