Fr. Naugahyde
Fr. Naugahyde is a full Indian. Tall, big, eighty 88 years old and hard of hearing. So we are at the Ballet and it is pitch dark and he bellows: "I just dropped my hearing aid!" Then he got one of his leg cramps and he slapped his leg. He could not hear it but YOU slap your leg hard and see how far that carries even in the day, much less in a dark, quiet theatre built for superior acoustics. Then is throat dried up and he made these sucking noises. Pfthift, pfthift. LOUD. I was a wreck by the time I got home but he had had a good time. I forgot to mention that his cane broke. He handed it to me and thought that I might be able to fix it in my spare time. Yeah. It think it will be a while. Oh, he is sweet and I do enjoy airing him out.
