stormy weather



We have some impending bad weather. When I came out of the Pulse at 6:30, the sky looked ominous. I've been checking the radar and it looks the storm is almost upon us so I took the garbage down to the curb. I hate storms and I especially hate them if I have to be away from home. Joanne was picking me up at 8:30 so we could have a breakfast meeting. She is as big a weather wienie as I am so we may postpone.

I prefer to think of myself as "weather cautious" rather than a "weather weinie". Intelligent people make choices out of past experiences and my experience tells me that clouds that look like that bring bad stuff with them.

And, by the way, that Rule of 90 widget is making me crazy!! I am just not going to look at it any more when I read your blog. You can't retire until I have come to terms with you leaving me, and that might be a while.

I never got to count to the rule of 90, having spent so much of my early career as a part-timer. I'll have to figure out how old I'd be at retirement if I had to go to the rule. Oh lordy.

weekend

Regis and I went to the place for dinner where when you used to go there the bait shop had a better bathroom than the restaurant. Not true anymore. The bathroom is lovely and the beer is cold. Those are not in order of importance. I went swimming today and the water was a gorgeous temperature. I didn't want to get out but I was alone and it got a tiny bit boring. I tried treading water and watching television through the window but that didn't work so well. There was a monkey and that's all I know. I can count quickly five people I know well who have lost their jobs or who are fearful of losing their jobs. Scary times. Regis says the atmosphere at his work is awful...people think that on Friday they will come for them. We're going to see Dean McGraw at the Bothy tomorrow night. This is one of the best shows in town for fifteen bucks. You can have some popcorn, sit in the front row, visit with the Doctor Daniels , and hear some fine music. Sometimes Dean has us sing an...
