HMMMMMMMMMMMM

Today I find myself celebrating Margot's birthday at the Tulalip Indian casino. That ended up as it usually does a very very nice lunch and a considerable donation to the native American tribal foundation. For the tax records, that donation becomes a negative towards any earnings that might eventually come so you might say we can get some of it back.............. Regardless how small.

GETTING OLD IS TOUGH

I'm at the time of my life when running errands count...as going out.

Or when I momentarily forget a word, I pause slightly and say...." sorry l seem to have forgotten the word".    That way I am thought to be bilingual instead of an idiot, or senile.

PANDEMIC

                                                                     ***********

This two year pandemic have certainly changed our inner selves. Getting dressed to go out is so very special that as soon as I come home now, I look forward to changing into my " homeless" look.

The idea, of course, is to feel as relaxed as possible but still presentable if someone happens to drop by.  Margot, on the other hand, does not appreciate the way I look, to the extent that, she will not let me go out to even pick up the mail.

I must now add, much to my surprise, those clothes are now prisoners of war.  The pants has a large hole in the crotch, which I have now been able to sew up with.................white thread.   The sweater was missing in action, but recently discovered  in pieces used in the cleaning of oily objects in the garage.  Wonder, how that  happened ?  Anyway, life will go on and I must now locate some other  "homeless look" clothes .  Must be somewhere in my closet, of vintage 1955 clothes (some that still have the original tags on them from the seventies.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE SOME FUN VIDEOS????

Several years ago, I was into taking some of my photos and turning them into fun videos. It was an interest to me at that time and I found it most satisfying.  Since then, I have found other things to test my interest on.  Just in case anyone of you are interested to see some of these, try going to 

   www.youtube.com     and searching for these  under    vitoonfilm ..........sit back and relax.

CHANGES TO COME.

I have explained, many time before, the reason for starting this blog.  It was a way to tell my twin grandsons, who are now 26 years old, about how it was growing up in an Italian family as an only child,  living, learning and surviving in a suburb of  New York.  Very interesting life. Now that they have heard this many times and the fact that it is now being made into a book, my blog is about to take on a few minor changes. It will focus on the present day living as an old man, with occasional memories of the past.  In addition, I may even list some of the things, collected in my life, for a cost of shipping. Who knows where this could lead to.
