I think about the weirdest things as you perhaps gathered from reading some of my blogs. Thanks for being so understanding. Here’s another thought I had while having our regular Sunday restaurant breakfast. Have the rest of you noticed that when going to the container for jelly you have to search hard for a Strawberry, Marmalade, or Mixed Fruit amongst a ton of Grape. I’ve even been to places where there was nothing but Grape. Where did the restaurants get the idea that we just love grape. I don’t know, maybe they think we still love it because of those giant Welch Grape Jelly jugs our mothers used to buy (must have been the cheapest) when we were young. By the way, while pondering this I received the best cheese omelet I’ve had in years. Could not believe it, fluffy, full of cheese and even the home fries and toast were done just right. Actually couldn’t believe it. Doesn’t happen often for me. Downside is that it gave me nothing to bitch about which is very rare.
Advancing age and retirement must be taking its toll on me since my thoughts keep getting stranger by the day. Just this past Saturday during my weekly round of golf I was trying to determine if there was any advantage to being a senior citizen. Certainly wasn’t my golf game which over the years has deteriorated from a 9 to a 20 handicap. Saturday golf has turned from pleasure, to at times, severe pain. Saturday golf now has two good things about it, breakfast with my friends and Heinekens after golf surrounding the requisite 18 holes of misery. I must admit that the Lord does bless me occasionally with a couple of good shots.
I do try hard to see its advantage, but a small senior discount doesn’t make up for the aches and pains which seem to crop up on a regular basis. Seems that I find a new one daily as I crawl out of bed. Wait, I found one. Women, both young and old are easy to communicate with. I guess they now view me as harmless when approached, talked to or joked with. Doesn’t make up for all the rest though.
Well enough moaning for this entry. See you soon.

Here is my theory on the jelly ... I think NO ONE LIKES GRAPE JELLY!!! That is why all the other flavors are so tough to come by. So... that leaves all the grape jelly that no one wants sitting in the little jelly holder. Maybe they had too much of it growing up.
