For some reason, or another, waking up today seemed to be different. I didn't really seem as tired as I normally am. Shaved and showered even before having my coffee. Put cologne on, which I never do, unless I plan something special. I noticed that my walk, even had a bit more gusto than usual. Could this be the start of a new side of me being born???? Went downstairs, remembered to turn off the alarm system, before opening the door, picked up the newspaper, this time fully dressed................no wonder all those little old ladies BBBBBBOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD !!!!!! but I waved back to them in a different spirit. Put the coffee on while I opened the paper, to my favorite section, The obituary. Lets see now..........RIZZO, RIZZO, RIZZO nope, great now I can have my coffee. OOOHHHHH exceptional taste today, nice an strong.......yah!......this will be a good day. OK! lets see, what's the plan today. OOKKay!!! lunch at 1PM at Snoqualmie Casino with two friends It's always fun to watch the wife keep an eye on the husband as he attempts to turn $1 into $100. Home probably in time to see my beloved Mariners loose another game and series. Nice nap on the couch before the real TV night goes into effect. Well, now that the day is coming to an end, I can now report to you that the best laid plans, did not materialize. Sure, we met our friends, Had a very nice lunch.......surprised myself by not trying to get my full $10 worth of food down at one sitting, something just kept telling me to eat more sensible. Home by 4, in time for Judge Judy. Slipped into my MARINER t-shirt. and now it's couch time. Yahhh!!! there is something special about today, Ichiro just started the game off with a double.........maybe, just maybe today is the day!!
On the way into the house........took my GPS out of the car and found my way across the street to the mailbox. WOW!. LOTS of mail today...............and no bills..............that's strange. Well looky here......looks like someone is celebrating something today, lots of cards, even one from the mailman. Why that cheap bast...! didn't even put postage on it and it's written on the back of a paper bag, but like I have always said, it's the thought. It's really funny how everyone knows about this day, even AARP, Social Security, IRS. and a chiropractor I went to 8 years ago. He wants me to come back for an adjustment, an a update on my records, yah! right.
Checked my computer and found that 23 emails out of 37 were from people some of which, I only hear from once a year, or that I owe money to...............OH, that's Ok, I love to hear from them. I live for days like this.!!!!! and folks, don't be shy, email me. I love to hear from each and everyone of you. JUST DON'T SEND ME THOSE POLITICAL MISREPRESENTED, UNTRUE, stories that float around the web looking for some mushy mushroom to take hold and fry my brain. I'm not stupid and know what's real in life.
AH, YES, today certainly is a day, that I look forward to each year. A day, that calls for the joys and good wishes, a day that is even better to me than Christmas. A day, when ........... one can look back on.........and honestly say............I hope this day comes again.................next year. Just seems, it gets longer and longer in between when this day ends to when it begins again, or is it just in the mind. Maybe it's just that I do things .........slower.........now. WELL, whatever it is, I still look forward to it coming back next year.
You may have noticed that only the day is noted in the title.......no year necessary. The years just bring into light that no matter what one does, the year constantly increases.....................we don't need that.
I have also taken notice, that not like in the past when the day was overcast, or a slight rain falling, or the skies have opened up with a downpour, that lately, there seems to be more of a sensation of the sun, if not out in its glory, is making a very hard attempt to bring that beautiful glow to the sky. Perhaps, its the way, I look at the day, perhaps its another force. I, for one, am thankful for at least the attempt.
I don't know about you, but I find myself clipping and saving the horoscope for this day out of the paper. It's interesting to know if what they print, actually becomes fact and if it doesn't how far off they were from the truth. For the past 5 years, my horoscope has told me that my employer has recognise my value and that I should expect compensation beyond all dreams. WELL DUH! I've been retired now going on 15 years...........my employer still has not come through with ANYYYYTHING and worst yet Margot has cut my allowance down to $20/mo. but she does let me use her credit card.
Now......just to finish this up........for everyone there will always be a June 16th, for some it will have a meaning, for the least, the meaning is very special. HAPPY BIRTHDAY VITO !
I just want to leave you with a little something from me to you. This was a birthday gift to me but being the guy I am, let me share it with you. It's a video in Swedish but with English captions. Take a gander at it. Let me know if you recognise anyone.
SO CLICK ON THE LINK AND ENJOY!!!
