Digging around in the archives, I came up with another tidbit that tickled me. I filled in the empty spots where time and weather had eroded the writing and got this story/essay "Dream Home" written up. It was fun to remember that time back in 1976 when I made my first big move in life.
Well, most of this one is actually true. I still get a chuckle when I remember that trip. It's part of my collection: To Make a Long Story Short.
In other news, not much happening here in Las Vegas today. Apparently, there is some big sport ball game that filled the local rooms, but I don't think it's even here in town. Maybe I'll use this time while things are quiet to go get some groceries.
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against sports, but I never did get into hockey that much. Now high school and college girls' basketball still get my motor running. I've been following one high school team and one college team, and each just sewed up their conference championship. That was exciting. Next week the state regional competitions start for high school. The following week, while I'm glued to the State Championships, the American Rivers Conference tournament for Division III schools will start. I can just imagine how much I'm not going to get done next week.
I'm adjusting to a noisy life. I recently got hearing aids and I have to tell you, I had no idea how noisy you all are! I keep turning them down, so I don't feel like I'm living inside a radio sound effects booth. Need footsteps? Clomp clomp clomp. Pouring a glass of water? Glug glug glug. Pissing in the toilet? OMG!
I can feel another essay coming on!
Well, enjoy your holiday if you celebrate one this week. I saw The Grass Roots perform this week and as Mark Dawson (the group's front man since 2008) said:
"Professional tip for you guys out there. It is not okay to repurpose Super Bowl snacks into Valentine's dinner."
I don't know. Snacks are the best part of those events.
Well, groceries are calling. Which means I need to get dressed. And it's only like half past noon.
Enjoy your week!
