Sometimes we get answers and it brings up more questions. When my renter was getting ready to kill himself by hanging, he pawned everything he could to raise money for drugs. If he'd had running shoes, he would have pawned them. Sweaty running shoes at the pawn shop. Hah.

I've heard of it, but it wasn't done around here in Colorado. The settlers in this area tended to be from Germany and German-speaking areas of Russia.

When I saw the top row of pictures, I thought 'oh what now?' Hah!

That IS quite a tie.

One of my favorite things is to think about the title while I wait for my slow Internet to load the full article. It's several seconds to decide what you're going to say to go with that title. For this one I was thinking "I don't think of Martin as being 'normal.' That's a good thing - your eternal optimism and joy of living always makes my day.

Jeri & I message each other on this platform every day, and I copy/paste our 'letters' into Word documents. I told her I will give the file to her daughter some day. It's already hundreds of pages.

Compared to now, back in the 1950s and 60s men and women looked so old for their age, and they didn't live as long. There's 70 year-olds who wish they were as youthful as you are at 92.

Yesterday I watched the Cecil Hotel one. Yes, it did seem like they dragged it out - there was at least one-too-many episodes.

I'm always heartened to hear about someone successfully giving away something like that tool to someone who appreciates it.

With so much of the country struggling with unusual snowy weather, it's good to hear how nice it is there.

It's lovely!

This array of pictures reminds me of those Captcha tests where we have to mark every picture of a bicycle...or a boat or a ...

It will be nice to reconnect with your family. Let me just say I would welcome a funeral where I wasn't crying like a fool - it'd be refreshing to be able sit back and feel objective. And I hope there's a really nice lunch afterwards.
