There was a campy sci-fi movie back in the 1950s called 'The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman'.

I dreamed I saw her and she wanted to have sex with me.

So

I took off my shoes and walked on in.

I have a friend I've known since I was 6 years old.

The other day he told me he had, at age 68, never eaten or taken a bite of bologna.

My mouth practically dropped to the floor.

I can see not liking bologna. I know a few people who don't.


One person moved to Germany for a while several years ago and because money was tight, ate only bologna for the 6 months she was there and now can't stand the sight of it.

THAT I can understand.

But to never have even sampled it?

As a kid, there were two staples of a quick lunch for kids:

Peanut butter or bologna sandwiches.

It is mind boggling that I know someone my age who has never even tasted bologna.

True to my beliefs, I didn't criticize him for that, just cooly suggested he give it a try sometime.

I hope he does.

Life is too short not to try something new.

How else would I have found out how much I like lobster if someone hadn't dared me to try a bite?

Life can throw you a curveball every day, so be ready to alter your swing.

I dreamed I was looking out the window, watching a runaway train swiftly going down the street.

It was tearing up the road as it flew along.

Meanwhile, I'm safely watching this as I mash cooked potatoes in a pan.

Sometimes my imagination even mystifies me.

My day Monday through Friday:

Check the news headlines & weather on t.v.

Yoga stretches, pushups and hand weights

16 ounce cup of decaf coffee

Shower & shave

Spend one hour on internet

One eight oz. glass of vegetable juice, two tablespoons of honey, one bowl of oatmeal, one eight oz. glass of milk, one apple and one handful of peanuts.

Got to work, where I do a lot of walking, sometimes carrying things. Dinner is one sandwich, one small box of raisins, some cheese and crackers and one glass of milk.

Back at home, I have two eight oz. glasses of water, watch some t.v. and then go to bed.

On the weekends, I eat what I feel like cooking and drink what I want, but not to excess.

I feel I've earned it.

There you have it - one boring, but semi healthy routine.

So I decided to look for a new padded toilet seat today.

Like everything else today, there are hundreds of options and colors to choose from.

Prices range (from what I saw) from $12.00 to $75.00

I'm not one of those people who think that cost equals quality. My last toilet seat cost me $11.00. I bought it at a discount store and after 6 or 7 years, it's finally showing signs of wearing out - a tiny rip in the seat.

So I bought one for $23.00. Not too much, not too little.

My last mattress cost me $300.00 from a close out sale and I'm happy with it.

It pays to compare.

I traveled through three different cemeteries Saturday, putting out flowers on the graves of friends and family.

Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a time (for me) for contemplation at the grave sites of loved ones I've lost over the years.

I hope your day today is peaceful and happy.

... on the Graham Norton Show:

There was an old t.v. commercial for Alka Seltzer when I was a kid. It talked about a guy who ate too much:


That could be me right now.

I'll check and see if I have any Alka Seltzer in the house.

There was a park the next town over from me when I was growing up.

It was a venue for Bluegrass bands. My dad's band played there often.

It is now a recovery center.

That speaks volumes about my past.

Over 50 years since this Temptations classic was released and it's still true today:


The old saying: 'May you live in interesting times' still rings true.
