Something I have always said that I wanted to do before that day comes, Is that I wanted to write a book about my life. I don’t know who would be interested enough to read it, But it’s always been in the back of my mind to do. Something just struck me though, that’s what I have been doing all of this time, It’s just that it’s called a blog. If I look back over all the postings of my blog, it’s in essence, a story of my life. How stupid of me to suddenly realize that. Writing that book was the last thing on my bucket list, so now that I’ve settled that, the only thing left is time to enjoy my memories.
BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE
in the past year, several people have asked me what I considered to be the best years of my life. I’ve put a lot of thought into this and it comes down to be a choice of basically three times of my life, My school years, My work years and my retirement years. Of these three categories, there have been some great ups and downs that have to be considered. My school years consisted of basically 12 years. My work years I could narrow down to 40 years and my retirement years so far amount to 30 years. That leaves seven years, five of which I was age 0 to 5 and then they were two years in the military. Just looking over this list, I guess the best times can be narrowed down to the 40 years of working and the 30 years of retirement as the most fun packed years. Of the two, I have to definitely give the 40 years of working the number one spot. The things that I’ve done, The people I have met And the places I have seen, By far still remain deep in my memory. OH, to relive those times.
89, WHERE DOES ONE GO NOW
At the beginning of this post, I’m seven months away from reaching that point of 90. Where does one go now? If I ask that question in a sense of traveling, I think my traveling days are well behind me. And when I mean, travel, I mean, literally transiting the globe. I’m thankful and happy every morning that I wake up and see daylight. Each morning the first questions I have for Margot is “ What’s the plan for today?” And I keep getting the same reply, “No plan we’ll just play it by ear.” In some ways that can be very exciting however, in some ways, it’s quite boring. Not surprisingly, The next question is “what’s for dinner tonight?” The reply, Up to now has always been” Whatever you make” For some reason, the reply is now a choice of three or four really tasteful items. Wonder why the sudden change?
JUST FOR FUN
I went to the doctor last week for my yearly examination and after the examination, he told me that I had thin legs, Coincidentally that happens to be my gangster name. He also advised that I should begin wearing a helmet,in case I happen to fall. That just makes me really feel stupid so now I carry a skateboard. A little known fact is that a woman lives to A medium age of 95 a man has an average age of 85, At 89 I’m contemplating the transition. During this visit, the doctor suggested that I go down to the lab to have some blood work. I checked at the lab and they told me that it would be about a 20 minute wait there were five people ahead of me. That’s when I asked if there was any chance that I could be pushed up a bit because it didn’t sound like I had that much time left. When I finally got in, the nurse, took a look at my veins and says “my God man you’ve got the biggest vein that I’ve ever seen in my life, Which of course made me quite proud as that was the best thing that I’ve heard in the past 60 years “ I got a little nervous with the amount of blood that she was actually taking from me, So I mentioned to her” I hope you leave enough for me to get to my car“ She chuckled and told me that she was leaving enough for me to get in my car and get out of the parking lot. That’s when our responsibilities stops.”
As far as social media is concerned, you can follow me on the bulletin board at Kroger or on “my chart”.
JUST CANT HELP MYSELF
I tried very hard to end this post without saying anything about our present administration. That seems to be an impossibility so I will just end it very simply for all you cult members that may read this post, With a little thought of mine.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never select the dumbest one to lead them.
