A 28 yr. old young man I work with is usually moaning about growing up at the wrong time. It seems he would have rather grown up when his father and I grew up - the '60s & '70s.

Last night he said the same thing. I looked at him for a moment, then told him that if he wanted to know what it was like, to throw away his cell phone and computer and he would be half way there.

The horrified look on his face was priceless.

Be careful what you wish for, buddy.

A perfect version of an American classic:


Love it!

Love this brand of dancin':


YEAH!

I saw the creepiest looking old man in my bathroom this morning...

and then I realized I was looking into the bathroom mirror.

The unofficial theme song for those ghosts and goblins trick or treating on Halloween:


Have a safe and happy holiday!

It's Halloween time again.

I don't go to bars or Halloween parties any more, but I still like to celebrate.

I came up with a good idea a few years ago and it has become a ritual now.

I take white and black costume makeup that you can buy around Halloween. I put smudges of black around my eyes, then mix black and white together to make a gray makeup that I use to cover my head, my neck, my arms and hands.

I put a little styling gel in my hair and make it stick out all over the place, really wild looking.

What you wear isn't important - just dress sloppily.

Then I go about my usual routine that day. I leave the window down on the car when I'm driving, which gets me a lot of funny looks from people. When I go into a store, I walk slowly and occasionally snarl at people who stare.

No one ever asks me what I'm dressed as... I mostly get compliments and even picture requests!

So if you're ever in my area and see a zombie walking around, don't chop my head off until you've asked me if I'm real or not first, o.k.?

Happy Halloween!

Six of the nine apartments in my building have cats.

My next door neighbor has a sign on his door which reads:

BEWARE OF ATTACK FLAMINGOS

My neighbors in the house behind me have two ducks (one black, one white).

Across the street, someone owns a dog big enough to ride.

All of this fits well into my liking of variety in my life.

It's the age old query:

Him or me?


With my track record over the years, you can figure out the answer.

With everything going on in the world, we now have something new to argue about:

The new Windows 11 vs the 'old' Windows 10.

Preliminary research I've done says there's no real difference between the two.

This begs the question:

Why come out with something 'new', when it's the same as the old?

Looks like another one of those things that make you go HMMMMM...

For the first time in a week I awoke at my regular time.

No roofers banging away.

No mowers droning away

and

No drunken neighbors screaming at one another.

Waking up fully rested and in a good mood is

WONDERFUL!
