A Familiar Situation

Wow.  I've been playing some online scrabble for a couple of days.  So as I wrote the word familiar I thought, Wow.  Family is in there and also liar.  These have much to do with what I was going to write about.  You might have to read between the lines though because family members read this blog and there are certain sensitivities that must be maintained.  
Every now and then circumstances arise and I make a decision on my own.  Usually it is minor in the estimation of almost anyone who would hear of it.  I am a man after all.  It's not something that would put my family in jeopardy.  Nothing illegal or immoral.  The fact that there is or could be disapproval of my decisions kinda hurts.  I recall when Brooke's grandfather was showing signs of Alzheimers and everyone was upset when he would do something like start cutting floor-boards in the attic.  They were right to worry, but am I perceived to be heading in that direction?   I request some respect and confidence in my decisions.  I don't make them lightly.

A friend of mine came across a good deal on an airplane.  He knew the value, he had the knowledge and he made the decision.  His wife was unhappy.  That is a pretty big decision, but those are the very times when It's most important to stand by your man.  When someone tells me they did something and I can tell they are thinking maybe they went too far on their own cognizance,  I say I think it was a great and brave decision.  If it's an airplane, I want to see it-I want to fly in it.  If it's a new car etc.,
