December 7
Another day at the fitness center, feeling all of my 66 years. I got thru it but that's it, no inspiration at all. My wife got to care for our newest grandson Paxton yesterday solo. It seems to have gone terrific and we will be watching him along with our other grandkids Eli and Marie more in the coming months. Staples is requiring me to work more hours during this month because of holiday shoppers. I really can't fathom why any one would go to an office supply store for Christmas gifts but apparently they do. More hours is acceptable to me but not to my liking. But I am a team player and the folks I work with are a varied and interesting crew and somehow we all get along and work together well.
We have made a plan to travel to Florida for one of the weeks in January. At long last, we will be able to escape the Michigan winter for a little while when it is the worst. Dear friends have extended an invitation to stay with them for a week. Really looking forward to this.
Out president elect has chosen a crew of cabinet members and advisors that mirror his view and desires. Most of which see the world different than I. I fear for our country. All the progress made in human and civil rights is about to be nullified it seems. We are headed back to the Fifties. There is talk of replacing Medicare with vouchers and tapping into Social Security. It seems that the rich will become richer and those of us in the working class will be footing the bill on needed programs, only to allow tax breaks and eliminating taxes on those that can best afford them. The are called "job creators". In my experience, the rich guys keep the money.
all for now
