Life is keeping me busy—aging sucks

First part fair enough, life should do that. Second part--very dubious, aging happens, and is unavoidable. I went through a phase when I determined 'I will never age' --stupid contention since the alternative is not worth considering, and the Gods have thrown missiles, (two cancers, a heart attack, a hernia, atrial fibrillation, a carcinoma on my scalp, two cataract operations) all of them are thrown off--although, a couple lurk somewhere in the shadows, waiting. A pacemaker keeps my heart rate normal and my breathings okay.

I re-read your 'Misery Love Company' piece and it was so light, despite being about an error. When you were able to laugh about it later that is a measure of how to look at life. I have no idea what tragedies have befallen you in the intervening years since that story, they must have been bad to land you with this depressive state.

I don't know what you mean by 'aging', but I have yet another birthday in April and I'll wager you have many more years than I have to begin saying FY to your troubles and show your sons that your sense of humour still remains.

Unfortunately being an ape he couldn't understand the foreign language of the call

Get yourselves into reading the Ape's 'The Healer's Power'--a worthy continuation of what will be his blockbuster--he's promised!

I'll try some of that Dark Roast Coffee, please, with, of course, two --yes, two--strawberry shortbreads

Fortunately Elizabeth is sharp enough to toss the ring back, catching the hobbit on the top of his head

You know things are bad when you hear people say they agree with Putin (or is that too political}

New story just verified, and out of the window the view is Spring-like. As long as I ignore that damned northerly wind, it'll be a good day. And if no one reads my story-----par for the course!

And I can't resist a coffee (of any breed} with one of dear Susan's pecan shortbread cookies
