I’m a bit behind, so I just watched the 4/28 episode of “Game of Thrones.” Too bad I couldn’t see it too. I read that it was too dark, so I watched it in a room with all the lights off. Still too dark.
Joe Biden recently declared himself a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. He was immediately declared the front runner. I think Biden will have a tough time in primaries because primary voters tend to be more radical than people who vote in general elections. Maybe I’ll become interested in the presidential election in October, next year.
I’ve recently made two observations about toddlers that don’t make any sense to me. If you’re two-and-a-half feet tall, you apparently think the safest place to hide is behind mommy’s leg. Similarly, people two-and-a-half feet tall never worry about being trampled. Neither of these seems like a good survival strategy to me, but both appear to work pretty well.
I’ve just been informed that our son and daughter-in-law will be visiting in early December. We’ll be happy to see them. Do you think that this time we can finally get our son to ship all the stuff he has stored in our house to his house?
For a long time, I’ve dabbled in property tax assessment in a small municipality. The job is very part-time, and I stepped down last month. With all the jobs I’ve held and left, you’d think I would have at least one gold watch by now, but I don’t. I wish I had been a famous network TV host. Leaving those jobs seems to pay exceptionally well.
I’ve been doing physical therapy for my hips and lower back recently. It has helped my hips greatly. I wonder if my back is worse now, or if it just seems worse because the hips are so much better.
I went to the New York International Auto Show around Easter. I usually do that. I’ve been going since I was 12 and while I have missed some, there are people there who should know me by now.
I tried a Fiat 124 Spyder on for size. I might be able to get into one, but I’d definitely need help (maybe even a hydraulic hoist) to get out of it. I’m guessing that the Fiat Spyder is a medium, while I clearly need an extra large.
I still want to go to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to photograph weeping cherry trees. They bloom a little earlier than the rest of the cherry blossoms. But it’s been a pretty nasty April around here, weather wise, so this year, I didn’t go at all.
When I was in college, I pursued an interest and pursued lower grades too, by being a disc jockey. As the current Mega Millions jackpot nears $300,000,000, I’ve just come up with another silly thing to spend the money on in the very unlikely chance I win. The trouble is that while it is silly, it isn’t terribly extravagant. I’ll still jump on the bed if I win, but I’ll also get myself a personalized dj jingle. Author Steven King bought a radio station near where he lives and had it play music he likes. Maybe I’ll do that too. Radio stations aren’t as expensive as they used to be.
