There's really not much to write about--just small items of little interest.
I finally finished painting the trim of my 22 house windows and doors. It's sort of a brick red matching the roof color. I like it. And I'm proud I can still climb 25 feet up and down a ladder!
The reason I say that is my sister called me last night with a plea of "help". She was in the middle of a "match.com" date and needed an excuse to get out. I was her "emergency". She later said the man was 66, but all humped over and barely able to walk--nothing like his profile description. He could never climb a ladder. Plus, he was a bore. She's 0 for 2 on two dates.
Speaking of which, I guess I'm going to "cool it" with Lynn for now. She's under much stress and a bit of depression over trying to sell her magazine (of which she publishes) and being in major debt from it. So I'm back "in the market" again, although, after 3 dates, I'm reconsidering remaining a social "hermit". I haven't decided my course of action (or inaction). Dating shouldn't be stressful.

I've also been thinking about quitting the blogging scene. As most of you know, I usually speak my mind with my own opinions, be it politics or religion or whatever. I have stepped on toes. I've tried to be respectful of other opinions as I would hope others would be of mine. That's not always the case. Perhaps I invite criticism. Nonetheless, it hurts. My mother would remind me, "If you can't say something good, say nothing at all." Admittedly, I don't always follow the rules and need an occassional admonishment. But I try to be open-minded and sympathetic in my comments to others.
Ms. Troutbend hit the nail on the head the other day with her post on "mybloggers world". It hardly seems worth the effort to spend time writing to a handful of dedicated bloggers. Yet, it's rewarding to post an article about a book ("The Social Animal"), and have so many readers follow up by reading it. So, I'm torn. For now, I'll continue. I'm not one to quit on my "family". I'm just a wee bit frustrated.

Have a delightful weekend, wherever you may be.
