uncle

i always remember him as an old man, with a cane and when he was setting it was usually in his rocking chair by a window reading a newspaper or magazine. he died in the 1980's in a retirement home in newark,ohio where i along with my grandparents would visit from time to time, i realize my grandparents would visit more often than me but i was just a kid.i've always been intrigued by some of his eccentric actions and had several questions like "why did he never marry?" "was he gay?""why did he build a brick outhouse?""did he hold a world record for his flatulence?"

when i was younger and living at home with my mother,father, brothers and sisters he would drive practically daily to sit with some other older dudes in front of the small town drug-store. now that i'm older i'm curious to exactly what they were doing on that kinky wooden throne from hell? i'd imagine they were drinking whiskey and having oral sex, maybe even smoking some whacky tobaccy.
