Old age, picnic, and social media

Wednesday, June 8, 2022

Remember when we were young? The world was new and fascinating, and being grown up was a little scary, sure, but mostly it was marvelous, wasn't it? Things happened fast, mistakes were made, but we were (metaphorically) riding in a convertible with the wind ruffling our hair. It was our time, this was our place, and maybe we didn't even know it.

Dunno how you're doing, but I have gout now, and a lot of extra weight, gray hair, and occasional hemorrhoids. My dad and my brother are dead, my wife is dead, my best friend is dead, and the future of our so-called civilized world looks bleak and short.

It's been a blast, though, and I'm still having a grand time. Hope you are, too.

Hope to see you at the family picnic on Saturday, and thanks, Carl & Kathy, for putting everything together. 

Breakfast as usual that morning, at Little Pat's in Burien.

Sorry, I haven't read your Facebook page. I can't even see your Facebook page. It tells me, "You must be signed in to view this content," but I can't sign in, because I'm not signed up, and heck if I'm going to sign up with that very evil corporation. Or the other ones.

Social media is not for me. Nudge me when anti-social media becomes a thing. Meanwhile, if I have anything to say I'll say it here, on my little nowhere page that has no ads, no lies, no tracking, no feed, no cookies, and no plans to make a buck off me, or off you.
