When my daughter moved home my house became too full.
2 households of furniture and odds and ends, crammed into one little home
is not condusive to doing readings.

My daughter was quite ill and was in a hospital bed in the livingroom.
For her protection I began reading in local restaurants, where I could smoke

and where I was waited on by friendly waiters and waitresses,

I could set my appointments to coincide with times they are not busy
with breakfast,lunch or dinner crowds.

After my daughter's death I did not have the heart to clean out the house.
I continue to read out of restaurants where we can eat, drink,
and even though tobacco smoking is now banned,

I continue read at the Denny's restaurant just off Shawnee Mission Parkway
between the Sears store and the Drury Inn Motel.
