The self-centered life. I commend you for your honesty.
Largely so, although I have spent a good deal of time caring for my elderly parents these last few years. Even as recently as two years ago my father was (barely) able to go to Africa with me on a photo safari. Now he’s confined to a wheelchair, as is my mother. At least I was able to arrange for them to share a room in the same facility, that helps a lot.
