My experience (hence Ace Wisdom) is that recovering from an invasive operation takes longer than you think. Daughter-in-law Shelby Jr., is recovering from her back operation and is beginning “rehab” exercises. Whatever the predicted recovery, double it.
I was in the basement yesterday and I heard this strange motor running. December 14th and my sump pump was running. The good news is that I just installed a new sump pump. More good news. We were getting 2-3 inches of rain, not snow.
I visited my local “costume” shoppe this week. I rented a Darth Vader outfit for Friday. The new Star War movie will be released. Yes sir. I have purchased movie tickets ahead. People camping out to get the first seats. I have my Darth Vader character. Add $10 per bucket popcorn. Does it get any better?
Just a comment of “it”. Grasshopper No.4 has accused me of having “it” on the golf course. If you consistently make putts to win a hole or a match, you seem to have “it”. Sometimes “it” is bigger than one person. The Green Bay Packers of the 1960’s won 5 NFL football championships in 7 years. They got lucky bounces, won close games and kicked winning field goals. Of course they did. They had “it”. In recent years, the winning Packer tradition seems to have returned. Coach McCarthy resumed the role of “play caller” for the offense on Sunday. Nothing else changed. The offensive players are the same. The schemes for passing and running are the same. The opponent (Dallas) is loaded with talent. Somehow, someway the Packers executed their game plan and seemed to be in control. The only thing that changed was McCarthy resumed control of the offense. Could it be that some-thing as simple as “confidence” of the team in McCarthy could define “it”. There seems to be an energy and passion that accompanies “it”. Life is good with “it”.
Anything ordered for Christmas on-line needs to be in by tomorrow or you might not get it in time.
Love,
