While I was at the local chemist Thursday, I noticed a display of wooden back scratchers at $1.50. They must have been part of a clearance sale, because I remembered seeing the exact same type of back scratcher elsewhere for $6.50, so I bought one and took it home.

From all of the oohing and aahing my neighbors probably heard later, they must have thought I was having great sex.

... a kind word can lift someone up and make their day sunny.

Pay it forward.

I liked those Egyptian cotton towels enough to order another set.

When I was a child, I would play a sport and try as hard as I could to be good at what I was doing and hoped my team won. My coaches all stressed the importance of good sportsmanship and congratulating the other team if we lost. No crying or whining or making excuses. The lessons learned were that life is not about winning and losing, just do your best. Sometimes life is not fair and it shows character to accept your loses and move on.

Whenever I hear people complaining that their team didn't win the big game, making excuses for losing, like bad calls against them, I think of a child saying: Not fair, you cheated!

It seems my whole country has regressed to being children. Not fair! You cheated! seems to be our mantra now. It saddens me.

People need to grow up and accept what they cannot change. Life moves on... and so should they.

It warmed up, then it started raining.

At least all of the snow is gone now.

... just showed me one more proof that Tom Brady is the best quarterback I've ever seen in my 66 years.

Tuesday it was 8 degrees. Today it was 44 degrees.

It felt good, but a little odd, to go outside without wearing thermal underwear and woolen gloves.

I'll take the difference any day!

I suppose it's a sign of maturity when I get more excited over buying new Egyptian cotton towels than I do over which team won a game.

Taxes done and filed for another year...

YAY!

I was a little shocked, but not that much, to find out Katie Cummings has gotten obese.

She has always been full figured, and was a fit to my personal taste in women.

Whatever her reasons, I admire her for still making videos... some to make fun of herself.

I still think she's beautiful and I'm still watching her. I'm loyal in that way.

Whatever. I've always dug her style and always will.

I think I'll watch her now... I have time for a "quickie" before I leave for work today.
