My Dad’s lines – which you may remember when he was on the TVJA school board w/ you:
. 1. “Fantastic!”
. 2. “If I was any better, I’d have a runaway!” (a reference to trains)
But as age has crept up on him, more and more, it’s just: “Good.”

When you ask how someone is doing and you get this long pause, you know you’re in trouble — you’re about to get a truthful answer. Dealing with one of those is much more difficult than answering the original question.
