"At Random"

The very, very,very….very, very best thing about having grandchildren is Christmas. One gets to do it all over again, with maybe a little more money than the first time! I know that's not supposed to make a difference, but it does! Sorry.

Can you tell that the days are getting longer? Could one of you scientists out there tell me how that works? We start getting more light, but it keeps getting colder for at least 6 weeks?? Colby, in his Rooyakkers know it all tone, started telling me some story about how long the suns light took to get to us, but he quickly petered out, knowing that one wasn't gonna work.

I woke up this morning at about 7:30. And I'm still not 100% sure, but at the time at least, I had no recollection of getting up all night. If indeed I slept through the night, that would be the first time in about 5 years. I clearly remember the previous time.

Went to the drive thru at Arbys this evening. Here's the conversation.
"Welcome to Arbys. Can I take your order"
"I'll have a Great Canadian, and a Philly & Swiss please, that's it"
"In a combo?"
"No thanks."
"So just the 2 sandwiches then".
"That's correct."
"Anything else?"

Apparently Elly and Odd John are coming to visit me, and fix my internet. I am so excited! Could you bring some soup please Elly?

I kept waiting for the punch line in The Great Gatsby….it never came. Maybe I missed something?? I've now moved on to George Orwells' 1984. Somehow the time seemed right to get reacquainted with Big Brother, in light of all the recent American spying allegations. It astounds me that they continue to insist that Snowden is a criminal??? It reminds me of the cold war era….in reverse….

It occurred to me that the expression "meet your maker" inherently implies some responsibility on his/her part??

And that's all I got.

Except this, just cause it alternately amazes me, and amuses me! It's also good to remember why I don't need to shave my neck.



Only 2 more sleeps!!

computrainer, 2 hours…boring…

….and this one is especially for my Colby…
