I know I’m always making excuses
for not Blogging more frequently, but this morning I realized that it’s
presumptuous on my part to think that you are all waiting with baited breath
for my next literary gem. Now that’s
funny. Seriously though, I recently lost
a very dear friend, who for some strange reason thought my writing was
great. Can you believe that? He constantly spurred me on to make an entry
and even enlisted more readers for me and made sure I let them know when I made
one. I must admit that his death
saddened me greatly and took a little edge off these entries. But the more I thought about it, at least I
had one real fan so I’ll keep on “Blogging”.
I think he’d want that.
During the holiday season a great
deal of time is spent in the kitchen preparing all those meals. Chopping and mixing and all the other
culinary functions create many opportunities to get clumsy and drop
things. Did you ever notice that no matter
what you drop, even inanimate objects suddenly develop a life and some how
crawl, jump, hop or fly into inaccessible locations, under cabinets, tables,
refrigerators, any place where you need to get on your hands and knees to
retrieve. Maybe it only happens to me.
Here’s something else that always
happens to me. I continue to regularly
choose the wrong checkout line in stores.
·
Person in front of me will slide a credit card
that won’t work.
·
They think the item is on sale. Flyer comes out for verification, item is
refused, and employee has to go five isles down to get the correct one.
·
Questions something that requires a manager
decision. She has to be hailed, but
there’s a major delay finding her, smoke break outside.
·
There’s more, I think I’ve run into every delay
possible. Computer even crashed when I was checking out, had to reboot.
Here’s
something good. I got a real bargain
today. Most of you know that I’ve been reading like crazy since I got my
Kindle, around 265 books. But I’ve been hesitating downloading a Stephen King
novel, Under the Dome, because that damn author wants too much money for it,
even for the Kindle edition. I was
thinking that I’d have get the courage (cheap bastard that I am) and pull the
trigger since I wanted to take a real long book on our next trip and his is
over 1000 pages. Well low and behold,
Amazon had a today only special of $1.99.
Can you imagine? I’m
flabbergasted, I never get bargains.
This is a
perfect time to wish you all a very Happy and especially Healthy New Year. Write you soon………………Bill
