We Wait

Amacker's leg surgery has been postponed as it is not critical and there are several more-pressing cases for the surgeons. Unfortunately they don't know when they'll will do the surgery, so we wait. The older man in the corner of the waiting room is better prepared with a stack of adult magazines. Dad and I are left with each other and the backgammon on our PDAs. We'd bring a real backgammon board so we could play each other, but that might be disruptive to the patients in the hospital. Any of you who have ever seen a Bullwinkle lose... well, it's not pretty. Maybe I should "let" him win in a time like this.
