WTF-Beta

Ah yes, Groundhog Day. That would make this the 82nd anniversary of my parents first date. I’m sure you all remember the 1944 Groundhog Day dance at Cornell University…

normal February day here in Reno would be a high in the 40s and low in the 20s.

I changed into shorts before my walk to lunch today… I think it hit 71° in a very bright sunny clear day.

Oscar from fifa coming up.

The most depressing part of that story to me is that they claim someone born in 1945 is over 80 years old…

I would think this pretty much locks up the Nobel peace prize, right?

I just stick to a hole-foods diet. Food with holes in it and maybe a little bit of icing..

very brave of you to be out in public in war ravaged Portland, while it is being burned to the ground by professional agitators.

@admin said “now-useless artifacts”

I wish you would stop calling me that.

Key reasons that you’re missing that I’m in favor of this exception:

1. my father worked his entire career with the Union Oil Corporation
2. Union oil was purchased by Chevron in 2005..
3. so I still own some chevron stock…

see, there’s two sides to every argument.

Princess Bride. I love a good documentary.

@kluurs said in It appeared in the feed at another site:

HOAs frequently have rules about the number and placement of Dougs within the community.

probably because they’re so rare and valuable. No one wants to be Doug-less.

wow, you must be really old.

But congratulations. I have really enjoyed retirement the two or three times I’ve done it.

this is where I saw it first.

@wtg

interesting read and thanks for the reminder. I got the one year free extension on Windows 10, but had figured I’m throwing a computer or two away when it expired. Maybe I’ll play around with Linux first before I make a final decision..

I cut out caffeine just about entirely for about 30 years up until my early 60s . I started drinking coffee again pretty much when I retired. now I have a cup of coffee every morning and sometimes ice tea or a Diet Coke at lunch.(there’s no excuse for the Diet Coke. I give it up every few weeks too.)

. I have a hard cut off of 2 PM for caffiene of any sort, otherwise I do think it affects my sleep somewhat.

If I have a very early meeting or early morning drive related to my stupid job, I will occasionally go crazy and have 2 cups of coffee. The nice thing about being a flyweight coffee drinker is that 2 cups really perks me up for several hours when I need it sometimes.

Where to start? I got up at 8 AM, made myself a coffee and drove off to the gym . It was surprisingly crowded with a mixture of kind of scary-looking motorcycle gang types and elderly retired geezers. Weird- I don’t think of myself as a motorcycle gang type….

I spent about an hour this morning reviewing some work documents. Needed to review and approve the work plan for a new branch going in Hawaii in a few months and finish the minutes from last month board meeting. I’m still not clear why I’m the one who has to do the damn minutes, but I think it’s related to the fact that I’m the only one for whom English is their first language.

Wandered over to the corner pile for the sheet music for today’s habitual playing of the ragtime of the day. Today was Artie Matthew’s pastime rag number 5. it’s a nice slow one so I did not injure myself.

still to come ? there’s a local place where I can grab some tacos for lunch and then head over to Virginia Lake for a short hike.

I may watch episode four of Ken Burn’s American Revolution this afternoon if I have time . Heck I might even shower and shave at some point..

I love the holidays .

and they say romance is dead.

I think there’s 100% chance of her ending up being a blogger…
