It's about time - an October blog

I’m frightened.  This is day three of my attempt to enter a Blog which I haven’t done since May.

 Day one:  Not having written since May, I had loads of catching up to do. We had a great deal of work done at the house, much to write about.  We also went on two trips, one out west to visit Mount Rushmore, Salt Lake City, Jackson Hole Wyoming and other sites.  Trip two was a five day cruise to Bermuda with all eighteen family members.  Kept rambling on and wrote a whole page.  Decided to rest my brain and pick up the stories the next day. 

Day two:  Went to my documents and could not locate the Blog.  The idiot author forgot to save it.  Back to the drawing board.  Did my best to remember what I wrote on day one and created another full page.

Day three:  Will review my masterpiece, add some, correct some and send it out into the world.  Guess what?  Couldn’t find it again.  The idiot did it again.  How the hell did this happen?

During my lifetime:  I have to admit that I rarely have any tolerance for the stupidity displayed by most of the world’s populous.  A character flaw I’m not particularly proud of, but one I now have to live with since I’ve joined that segment of the population.  Excuse me for a minute; I’m going to save this now.  Twice is enough and I can’t handle anymore stupidity on my part.  Actually the whole thing surprised and scared the hell out of me. I promised myself that it will never happen again “save again”.  I’ve decided that I will not attempt to recreate those lost pages. 

Next big project:  After reaching a point of almost beating the computer with a hammer I decide to check and see when I bought this contraption. Bought it in 2005.  Can you just imagine how much crap is sitting on my hard drive?  No wonder it is constantly freezing up, not allowing me out of programs and just about anything else that can go wrong, making me spend hours just looking at my emails and checking up on my kids in facebook.  Heaven forbid I try to download anything. Eight years has seen a great deal of changes in computer technology, so much so that I’ve become a Cyber Virgin.

What should I buy:   The other day we were talking about some of the negative effects of advancing age? During my lifetime I’ve learned how to do many things, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, landscaping, bartending, you name it.  Unfortunately my body now has decided that it can’t or doesn’t want to do any of these things anymore.  We recently created a personal phone book with sections such as doctors, service people, friends etc.  In case you’re curious Marge and I have one whole page for doctors and have now matched it with a whole page of “our guys”.  These are the guys we call on to do all the stuff Bill no longer does.  I recently added another guy.  This my computer guru guy, one I am engaging so that I don’t make any stupid purchases in my attempt to modernize my technology.
