Two bits of advice that were given to me over 50 years ago that are still true today:

1. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

2. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I've decided to give people something new to talk about.

Starting Monday, I'll be using an old liquor bottle as a water bottle on my morning walks.

I must remember to do a little weave once in a while to really sell it.

Every once in a while I go outside and run my vacuum cleaner over my driveway.

That keeps the neighbors from talking to me.

I just love brown sugar.

The way it tastes on my tongue and my lips.

I savor it every time I have me some,

which is why I have it on my oatmeal ever morning.

What did you think I was talking about?

I like a good palindrome, like 'madam im adam'.

I saw something today that was a bit different.

Look at the word swims.

Not look at it upside down.

Kinda cool.

You know you're retired when you don't think about what you have to do today,

but what you'll fix for dinner tonight and what movie you want to watch.

Ahhhhhhhhh...

I just heard a local funeral home has raised its prices...

due to the cost of living?

~

I need a new friend.

The last one escaped.

The upcoming Solar Eclipse in April is proof the we here in America will use any excuse to throw a party.

When my dad retired, he contemplated moving to two place:

Australia, because he was there in WWII and loved it and

Mexico, because he found out he could live like a king for $10.00 a day.

I'm glad he stayed here.

Travel expenses would have bankrupted me.
