Now I can say: "I will be sixty years old in October."
Tuesday Nov. 5 will be the sixth anniversary of my stroke.
That was a Tuesday, too; Election Day 2018!
"Most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
I should be one of those people....I would like to be one of those people....
Maybe I need to consider resuming anti-depressants!
It is my month!
October is a month to remember!
Nicer cooler weather, etc.
Bring it on!
Still working on my mood.....
Looks like actor John Corbett!
Here is Paul Snider:

The star of the movie was the actor playing that nasty Fred Woods:

But the movie does beg the questions of why his two friends always followed his "orders"....Fred even slugged one of them in the abdomen!
Good morning, Everyone!
Today is 8-31-24 and thus constitutes the "Real New Year Eve" since the following commence with September: school year, football season, cars, network television shows!

I recently viewed the following on You Tube:

I was fourteen years old at the time of Stratten's murder. She was prominent enough that Newsweek magazine featured her death with the weekly transitions:
"Dorothy Stratten, born Dorothy Ruth Hoogstraten, aged twenty."
I discusses the Newsweek blurb with my university student sister and some of her friends; my attitude at the time being: "How the hell can someone who LOOKS LIKE THAT have problems?"
🤣
Dumb, yes.
Suffice to say I now know better.
At the end of the above documentary Stratten mentioned what she would like to accomplish during her life and how she hoped at age sixty she could look back with satisfaction.....well those of us who are less than a year and half from a fully sixty years of age....maybe we should just be content to be here.
For me viewing the world "sunnily" is a constant struggle.
And my viewpoint predates the peer abuse activities.
I remember negative feelings at age seven and the bullying ordeals commenced at age eight.
I AM I AM I AM
What it means to turn sixty:
Once I thought that age was so old!
My grandparents were in their early sixties when I was born!
It is not "the new fifty" or even "the new forty"....it is the new sixty!
