Sometimes I wonder…

What is the meaning of appointments? It’s a time that something happens, not around the time, not after the time but the exact time, on the dot.

What is meant by the saying “When in Rome do as the Romans do?”  It means when you’re spending time with other people and in their lives, you do what they want to do or have scheduled.  Like a graduation, a party, a dinner or a ball game.

Both of these things have great meaning to me.  When an appointment is made every effort needs to be made for an arrival at least a half hour early not after the invitees have taken their seats in the auditorium.  A not at the last 2 minutes of the ballgame.  To me, arriving after your invitees have left for the function or arriving at the end of a player’s game for no other reason than your lack of punctuality, should be a sign that your not interested and the invitation or the appointment needs to be turned down or cancelled.  When something like this occurs in the same weekend one’s BP raises to unhealthy levels and for one’s own well being needs to be re-thought as  to attending with my partner.  In the past I went solo but hoped with aging my temperment would bend or my partner would understand my issues that cannot bend with certsin things and try to see the reasoning behind rages.  As the time is growing dimmer with age, my hope for my retired groom is to see the light before my answer to his traveling requests will be the only sane answer.
