There are a number of characters at my mother's assisted care facility. Today I will tell you about Pittsburgh and Tex. They aren't really main characters in this little story of mine, rather background extras that complete the scene.
Pittsburgh was one of the first residents I thought was going to be a friend to my Mom. He liked the swings in the courtyard, too, and would be sitting with Mom during her first weeks there. Then I didn't see him at all for a long time. He would sit by himself at dinner time and I wasn't seeing him there, either. I thought that he may have been moved to another place, was sick, or even died.

Tex is similar in demeanor. He keeps to himself. Tall, slender, salt and pepper mustache, and a baseball cap. There are two things that set him apart: he is The Slapper's main squeeze and he wears cowboys boots. Hence Tex.
