He's Back

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
