How do you prefer your zombies?

Slow, as they've always been in the U.S. (from George A. Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead' to the ever popular The Walking Dead)?

or

Sportingly fast (like the U.K.'s '28 Days' Later and '28 Month's Later)?

I suppose it only matters when you're confronted face to face, eh?

You know it's cold inside when just your big toe touches the floor coming out of bed and the shock immediately wakes you up, then has you quickly drawing that foot back under the covers.

I normally dream in color. I know that a lot of people don't, but I always have. Last night was an exception:

I was walking down a big city street at night. People were everywhere and the neon signs of the stores (and one hotel, a long diagonal sign) were flashing. Everything and everybody was in black and white, like an old 1940's movie. Everyone was dressed up 40's style, except me. I had on a hat matching the styles, but was wearing a waist cut jacket, with jeans and boots.

The odd part was that I was the only one showing any color. The jacket was a light blue, jeans a medium blue and even my boots were a dark blue. I walked along and no one seemed to notice.

A lady asked me for a light for her cigarette. I gave her a light with an old zippo lighter, she smiled, said thanks and walked on. Then I woke up, smiling.

My subconscious sometimes amazes me.

65 mph winds Sunday morning, dropping to 52 mph by evening. Today? a mere 13 mph.

Whew!

Just finished my income taxes. While a lot of people in the news are talking about less money on refunds, I'm actually supposed to get back a whole whopping $5.00 more!

Because I have been on Medicare (which I pay for) all year, maybe the IRS will leave me alone this year.

I'm constantly doing patchwork.

I heard today that Peter Tork, bass player for the t.v. group/show 'The Monkees', has passed away at age 77.

Funny little t.v. show in the 1960's that was only on for two years, but did win an emmy for comedy.

Pete was not the lead singer. He only got to sing lead on one song on the show and this was it:


His friend Stephen Stills convinced him to audition for the show. The rest, as they are wont to say, is history.

R.I.P. Pete. Thanks for the good memories.

Someday, I hope I can check this off my bucket list: Participate in a Flash Mob event.

Sean Connery was the best James Bond and this is my favorite theme from his movies:
