I awoke today to see snow on the ground.

It wasn't bad - the roads and sidewalks are clear.

As I sat drinking my morning tea and gazing out of the window, I was reminded of a saying I heard as a kid,

that the date of the first snowfall would be how many snows you'll have that winter.

14 isn't a bad number.

I've lived through a lot worse.

A different version of the Door's classic:


Good!

I stopped looking up women in t.v. and movies who made me so horny as a kid/young man.

The results as they look today were disappointing.

Somethings are best left in the past.

Thank you, all of you veterans, for your service.

For all of the Tom Selleck fans. Before he became a star:

... weighs in on whether to get vaccinated or not, I will

shrug my shoulders and move on.

It ain't worth arguing about -

even though SOME people want to.

Life is too short to waste my time.

Monday.

It practically rhymes with the descriptive word mundane.

How many people actually look forward to the start of another work week?

I suppose there are those who love their jobs and would anticipate happily going to work,

but for the rest of us, it's a feeling of the start of 'the grind'.

The last time I looked forward to going to work was when I was 35, newly divorced and working as a movie extra,

surrounded by the stars.

For those of you who revel in what you do: Have a happy, fulfilling day.

For the rest of us: Hold your head up as you tread those crappy waters.

Another lazy Sunday:

Had a lie in, which, combined with turning back the clocks, gave me extra time to sleep and not waste any daylight.

Fixed a cup of tea and scanned the paper.

Checked my emails and messages online.

I'll be having some cheese and crackers for a light brunch, then, since it's supposed to be 60 degrees and sunny today, I will take the car for a wash and wax before topping off my gas tank.

When I get home, I think I might watch a movie before fixing a breakfast dinner of sausage and eggs.

A hot shower and I'll be ready to laze about in my recliner and watch some t.v. before reading a part of my latest novel and then bed.

Retirement is getting closer and the chance to do this on a more regular basis is looking better and better.

Ah, boring days...

the best is yet to come!

Facebook is being taken over by the old folks,

as my spending 45 minutes sorting through friend requests from friends of friends I've never heard of will attest.

PHEW!

"I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?"

What t.v. commercial did this little ditty come from?
