The Colonel

In a previous post I have said that I think The Colonel may be my dead uncle Lavon. I've had members of my family agree that it's true and crack up laughing. For those of you who didn't know my uncle Lavon, I'll explain. The Colonel is very tall and walks all stooped over, so did Uncle Lavon. The Colonel is a little slow on the uptake, so was Uncle Lavon. The Colonel will drink a gallon of water at one time, so did Uncle Lavon. He had that illness where he had an addiction to water. The Colonel seems frequently depressed to the point where Abbey will ask what's wrong with Colonel. Abbey didn't know Lavon but if she did, she would ask me what's wrong with Uncle Lavon? My response would be Uncle Lavon's not well child. Sometimes I look into The Colonel's eyes and I see something passed familiarity. It's like he's been here before and he's tired.
