Heat Complaint #563

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s the last day of July….. I think I might see a brisk zephyr somewhere over that haze-crazed humidity-dripping horizon….. Everything…(flora & fauna alike)…has that same dispirited…middle distanced…unfocused stare….. It’s that zombie-time of the year in sunny sub-tropical Florida….. …..no one wants to be here now….. Maine is looking pretty good….. Some are pining for the Yukon….. Our air conditioner has been stressed to its max…it’s been on again…off again….. …..frozen over…and icy…and…

I turned seventy last month….. …..the sixties are past…the seventies have begun….. …..(and I’m not talking about old rock music)…(I’m the one that’s vintage now)….. Well…I think I’ll embrace it…..

*~*~*Happy New Year*~*~*

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s here….. We made it….. …..now what are we going to do with it?….. …..and there in lies the rub….. My philosophy is…it’s never inappropriate for a little mis-quoted Shakespeare….. …..especially on New Year’s Day….. We didn’t need to personally usher in the New Years last night….. …..my family and I firmly felt that 2024 could manage it all by itself….. But we did employ our annual festivities of fun finger-foods and little…

The Christmas Tree Is Up?

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* The Holidays are upon us….. It’s a process….. There are necessary steps to follow….. …..and precautions to take….. For example we have some very old/old ornaments from my family…going back a couple generations….. …..they’re not going to see the light of day this year…they’re going to stay safely nestled in their tissue paper beds….. …..(it takes lots and lots of luck for such fragile things to make it through multiple Christmases)….. But again…this…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* AutoCorrect might be helpful….. …..I suppose it might be…from time to time…in small doses….. I’m sure it was developed & programmed by caring people to help others write with ease and efficiency…and it should be looked at as an aide to the written prose….. But I personally think is was seined out of the dark corners of Hell….. Quite often…it can…(and does)…step up and save me at very opportune times….. But…I also hate…
