The Pill Pusher

My pharmacist is of the old school - he still calls his establishment an "apothecary". At age eighty-three he is still pushing pills and trying to decipher physicians' handwriting. He has a sign on his wall "SERENITY HERE - FRUSTRATION ELSEWHERE". That's one of the reasons I like to hang out with him. He recently told me that his wife's VISA card was stolen but he didn't report the theft as the thief was spending less than his wife. I hope he can hang in and not be devoured by Wallgreen and CVS.
