Wake Up Call

Today I awoke to a strange sensation. It took me a few seconds to identify what had interrupted my dream. You see my pug likes to sleep under the covers. Apparently he found my belly button to be lick worthy. No need to check for navel lint today!

Drink More Coffee

I feel the pressure. I just found out the class president of my high school graduating class starts his day off by reading my blog. I now feel responsible for making sure his day starts off right. All I can think to say is John, you're in trouble. Better drink more coffee.

Keep Breathing!

For those of you contemplating going into cardiac arrest or anticipating the need for the Heimlich maneuver, please refrain from doing so until I get my CPR re certification this morning. Hope your face does not turn too purple as you wait!

Watch Out for Ice!

The weather forecast that had me worried pretty much turned into a non event, although the rain did make for some slick conditions in nearby regions. I managed to get home from work unscathed, until I attempted to get up my own steps. I hung on to the rail for dear life to successfully reach my destination. Ah, home, sweet home!

Winter Advisory

I get so sick of weather forecasters that make predictions of the worst case scenarios. Apparently, they would rather err in favor of too much than too little. Unfortunately, I take them at their word and live in dread and trepidation. I think I may pull the covers up over my head until spring.

Dumb Doing Occurances

I can't believe I have not done anything stupid enough to be worthy of writing about lately. I usually do something befuddling at least once a day. Maybe I do and forget about it? That is a frightening thought. I do often have to stop to remember what it was that I was going to do. So making lists helps out a great deal. I forget names when introduced to someone new but I have always had a problem with that even with a much younger brain. Anyway, I shall be on alert for any dumb doings to occur and write it down before I forget what it was. How's that for a New Year's Resolution? Dumb, eh? Let me write this one down.

Another Year Gone By

Another year has passed And we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter And winter seems much colder.
I rack my brain for happy thoughts, To put down on my pad,
But lots of things, That come to mind Just make me kind of sad.
There was a time not long ago When life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand About 'Living in the Past'.
We used to go to friends homes, Baseball games and lunches.
Now we go to therapy, to hospitals, And after-funeral brunches.
We used to have hangovers, From parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches And sleep the night away.
We used to go out dining, And couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags, Come home and take a pill.

We used to travel often To places near and far.

Now we get backaches From riding in the car.

We used to go out shopping For new clothing at the Mall

But, now we never bother... All the sizes are too small.

That, my friend is how life is, And now my tale is told

So, enjoy each day and live it up... Before you're too darn old!
