Almost Lear Year Day!

 Every four years!

February Blues....

 The snow is melting.....here here!

Or is it "hear hear?

Where where?

There there?

I WONDER AS I WRITE....

 ...what will the future bring?

Is people are rewarded for having "faith" why the heck am I here?

I wonder....

But I am here and I know that it is my responsibility to ensure my own happiness.

Sometimes however I feel as though I am my own worst enemy....

I need to think before I act.

I need to remember my long term goals.

I need to formulate plans.....

A Week Into January....

 ...I have put all the Christmas holiday decorations away in my "craft closet."

Just winter stuff remaining.

Typical Chicagoland January weather and activities.

I am still consuming the holiday cookies; as an atheist I definitely "celebrate Christmas."

I am now fifty-eight years old and Keith Richards recently turned eighty; who would have thought he would advance to such an age?

Mind boggling....he must have inherited a healthy propensity towards long life.

LONG LIVE  KEITH RICHARDS!

The Rolling Stones band's original drummer died of old age; there will be a new drummer playing the upcoming 2024 tour!

True Crime Aficionado Tendencies...

 ....can take over one's entire existence.

Yesterday my mother asked me to retrieve her letter opener.

I found what resembled a shiv!

I said, "This is a LETTER OPENER? It resembles a murder weapon!"

Her response: "One would have to stab several times..."

Me: "Sure that's what psychotic criminals do when one wants to get rid of a prison cellmate! If management won't agree the criminal has to use whatever is at his disposal, and a lot of times HE constructs a SHIV. AND THE CRIMINAL JUST STABS AND STABS UNTIL THE ROOMMATE IS DEAD....:

Mother eventually realizes that I am "beyond hope" and states: "Just give me the letter opener, dear."

FORMIDABLE!

Today is December 1st

It is cold here in Chicagoland. Of course I frequently comment on the weather. Currently contemplating my third cup of morning coffee; For the fist year I purchased an Aldi coffee pod Advent calendar! And I retrieved the advent wreath

candles for my mother! Here's hoping she lets me pose one of my Frankenstein decorations next to her nativity manger; for five mintues please. 😉 She is leaving said manger to me in her will; I am now however an atheist! I will treat the possession with respect and subsequently bequeath it to my youngest niece!
