—I really don’t like this classic song about relationships and growing old: “Have I Stayed Too Long at the Fair?” No, I haven’t stayed too long! I’m still on the roller coaster!
—I really liked the movie “Thursday Murder Club,” now on TV. But most of the people in the retirement home were younger than me!
— “What did you do before there was technology?” My9-year-old grandson asked me. I said, “We did have three channels of television, primitive cars and airplanes. But I should have just told him, “We played outside.”
—More than half of the people born in the same year as I was are now dead. Makes you stop and think.
— When I knock down a spider web, I don’t know if I feel bad for ruining a spider’s dinner or glad that I just saved a butterfly’s life.
— On the advice of ChatGPT, I just learned how to get through to a real person at my cable TV company. “When they give you a list of options over the phone, just use the word “cancel,” it said. I got through!
—A B&B guests who owns a lot of houses told us one way he he approves tenants in a tight housing market: He looks inside their cars to see how messy they are..
— We keep hearing about how peaceful it is in nature. But have you noticed how vines keep trying to strangle trees? I tell you, it’s a “plant-eat-plant” world out there!
—A hang-gliding relative once told me, “The only sports worth doing are the ones that could kill you.” Hm. I have loved biking and skiing, which can be dangerous. Billiards, bowling and bridge? No, thank you.
— In gardening, my wife is the creator, and I am the destroyer! She may plant bulbs for pretty flowers to bloom, but my role is to hack away at the bamboo and tree branches that threaten. Got to defend the family!
—When we started out, my wife wanted a Victorian house, and I wanted a California-modern style home. We couldn’t agree. Until the realtor found us a house with a Victorian style front, with a built-on modern rear featuring large glass windows. Sold!
