Sitting in the waiting room of my radiation oncologist [View all]

for my 5th and final external-beam radiation treatment and there is a guy yammering away about everything and nothing, 93 years old (I had not asked), wearing a “Korean War Veteran” hat. Great, something in common, I lean over and ask what was the last year he was in Korea. He says, I was never in Korea. I just pointed at his hat and almost uttered the words WTF? Immediately tuned his yammering out and never looked at him again. My wife says he launched into a Harris hate rant at some point while I was gone. Damn glad I didn’t hear it.
