Have a cold....but functional

Add caption

For the first time in a while, I have a cold.  Still able to enjoy this lovely intemperate weather with the grand kids and Shannon home for a visit.  Her wheelchair is not working, both wheels need to be replaced.  Went though all kinds of verbal gyrations with various agencies and parties trying to get this repair funded.  It will be but we don't know how long it will take.  The care of the disabled (our most vulnerable citizens), is almost an afterthought of our political decision makers. We could truly make America great again if we took better care of this population.

I have become a shadow of my former self, now developing a old man body with skinny legs and a falling face as illustrated above.  I am not complaining only making an observation on life.  We will see what happens as the years roll on, becoming closer to being invisible.

My wife and I have a new addiction.  It is a TV program from Ireland called Red Rock, a police drama/soap opera available on Amazon Prime.  I can see how all the mothers got hooked on these programs while they were ironing their husbands shirts and handkerchiefs.  I remember my mom doing this.  You get to to like the characters if they well written and multi dimensional.  We get our fix every evening.  And it is just that. I need to see it and how the characters are doing. 

Further because I have been up on the couch with the cold, I have discovered a set of programs available on line from ABC network that are 5-6 minute segments of comedy. Most are rated TV-MA because of the language and subject matter.   Its easy to watch a whole series in one sitting.  You can find them on your smart phone on their app. 

We have another beautiful day to enjoy.  We are getting these gifts and need to take advantage of them.  Worked outside yesterday de-thatching the front lawn for the upcoming spring.  Yesterday temperature records were broken.  I have no complaints. Grand kids were over riding their bikes and playing ball, truly a grand day.  Planning on cleaning out the car today. Won't be as warm but still a swell day.

The circus in Washington continues.  Many of us watch in dismay.  Some from his party are already predicting an early departure for this man.  McCain is calling him out for his war on the press.  Yesterday's topper is a campaign rally payed for by us for the 2020 presidential election.  This was the guy who said he would only work for US during his years as president.  This boondoggle took place a scant 28 days into his presidency.  Our brilliant representatives in Lansing are proposing to cancel the income tax for our state.  And the question must be raised, how will you pay for the operation of the state??
all for now.....
