Abstention

Abstention: I read recently that a guy gave up women and drinking. He said it was the worst twenty minutes of his life..

What we never forget.

Never forget. 
My office is in an area where from time to time you must watch yourself and your belongings. Things have changed a lot recently for the better. So I tend to let my guard down. 
Today I was on a customer visit to an upscale office building. As it looked like rain I took my very cheap umbrella. Since over training cost me the use of my legs, I am forced to ride a tricycle which is used by seniors. I parked my tricycle in the building's bicycle space. Left my umbrella in the back basket. When I returned a short time later it was gone. 
Who would steal an umbrella from a senior's tricycle? 
I guess I forgot where I was.
