I've had some disparate thoughts lately:
-- I miss Jim Croce, John Denver and Dan Fogelberg. Yeah, I listen to Van Halen, Metallica and AC/DC, but those three guys knew how to write songs. I will never be ashamed to admit I like that music.
-- What is it that prompts some people to think they're more important than everyone else. I'm amazed at people who feel the need to weave in heavy traffic simply to move up a spot or two in the lane.
-- So now Elizabeth Warren has come out and admitted she blew it when it came to her support for Obamacare. Duh.
-- Although I'm very sad at the state of our country, I'm glad knowing that I don't have much longer to live in it. That is, I may have another twenty-five years at best, and with the way things are going in this country, it's going to be ruined before too long unless something arrests that movement.
-- Before I go, however, I really want to see the aurora borealis. There has been a lot of AB activity this year, some of it in northern Michigan. It's absolutely amazing. If I ever did see it I'm sure I'd be dumbstruck.
-- I'm getting the itch to resume writing. I only have about four books in mind, one on my year in Spain, one about owning bulldogs, one about the legal profession and a novel based on my favorite sonnet. We'll see.
-- I notice that as I age I'm getting more aches and pains for no good reason. Getting up out of a chair is painful, walking up stairs is painful, lying in bed certain ways is painful. Whoever said that hardest thing in life was getting old certainly knew what he was talking about.
-- Karen and I are headed to the Cayman Islands in the near future. She really needs a beach vacation. For all that she's done for other people, she needs something that is specifically devoted to her.
-- My family relations maxim is on point. I dare anyone to argue it.
-- Television isn't getting any better.
-- We go to bed earlier and earlier these days. It's not unusual for us to be in bed by 8.30p.
-- I want to buy more firearms and load up on ammunition. Biden can't go fast enough.
-- I'm darned good at my job. Just sayin'.
