Great Granddaughter Myla celebrates her 1 year birthday this weekend. “Cute is one year old”.
My new “Buick” got 31 mph on combined city/highway driving. Not bad!!
Grasshopper No.5 gave me a paperback novel to read for my birthday. So being the voracious reader of non-fiction that I am, I read my annual book. It was the American version of Jack the Ripper. Why did No.5 think I’d enjoy “Jack”? Actually it was a riveting read.
Everything in life is relative. The L.A. Clippers NBA basketball team is under “distressed” sale because the owner Don Sterling made remarks with racial overtones during a private conversation with a girl friend. Sterling paid $12.5 million for the Clippers 35 years ago. He has had 6 offers in to purchase the Clippers with the top bid being $2 billion (that is with a “b”). The top bidder is Steve Balmer, former CEO of Microsoft. Whoa! How can Balmer afford $2 billion? The answer is “Balmer is worth $20 billion based on his stock holdings with Microsoft”. $2 billion is a drop in the bucket. It must be nice. I bet Balmer has his own personal jet (maybe a fleet of them).
I am becoming a believer in Amazon.com. Batteries are needed to power my hearing aids. My audiologist makes each battery available for $1.30 each. I need two batteries at a time and they last 3-4 days. As I browsed Amazon.com, I found the same batteries for $.28 each. Really? Really!
My Dad’s birthday was the 28th. He would have been 94.
Good bye May, Hello June.
Love,
Dad
