My brother related a strange dream that he had: It took place in a bar; he was there with our Dad. they both ordered a Guinness, in the mood for a stout. They both were committed  to enjoy their night out The barkeep then asked if they'd be running a tab. Jim reached in his pocket, he paid for his drink  and Dad's. " I don't think we will."" Just the one now" He said, "For I'm on blood thinners and my Dad here is dead."

One for the Road
My brother related a strange dream that he had: It took place in a bar; he was there with our Dad. they both ordered a Guinness, in the mood for a stout. They both were committed  to enjoy their night out The barkeep then asked if they'd be running a tab. Jim reached in his pocket, he paid for his drink  and Dad's. " I don't think we will."" Just the one now" He said, "For I'm on blood thinners and my Dad here is dead."
Dad has been gone for 37 years and my brother seldom picks up a tab but under these circumstances I believe he would. I'm only miffed that he didn''t see fit to invite me.
