Just when you think it’s safe to play bingo, we hear a story that makes you wonder whether the game has changed, and rather than just covering numbers with dabbers when those numbers are called, it is now a full-blown, head-to-head, full contact sport. I’m referring, of course, to the incident in a Kingston, ON, long-term-care home, in which a dispute between a 79-year- old woman and an 86-year-old over seating arrangements led to a brawl that involved a number of other residents. Details are sketchy, but one wonders what the 8/9ths of this particular iceberg were contributing factors. For starters, if the two were friends, it’s hard to think that where one sat would be the subject of acrimony so serious that it would lead to blows. It’s easy for people on the outside to assume that those living in close quar- ters, like nursing homes, all get along with each other and daily life is so har- monious to be actually quite boring and Amber Alert outrage a pathetic display humdrum.
