Default dad's waning independence

dad is grabbing ahold of what remains of his independence.

in about a week he plans to jump in the car and drive from california to texas. he has probably not told his doctor so she probably will not get a chance to talk him out of it. he won't listen to his kids and refuses to make use of the nonrefundable plane ticket BIL bought him.

this is not really new, he keeps on doing things like this. i just have to hope he makes it all right. on his last trip from texas to california he fell asleep at the wheel several times but did not crash. it seems he will not learn from his mistakes nor even remember them sometimes.

in a late breaking development, he is sharing the driving with my alcoholic cousin, who dad has never seen unless he is holding a beer.
