For twelve years we have had our newspaper(s) delivered by the same person early in the morning – 5:30 AM or before. Guess what? Our delivery person retired. I went to get the paper around 7:00 AM yesterday and it hadn’t arrived yet. I know that the newspaper industry is dying, but hot coffee. the newspaper and TV local broadcast works for me. I don’t want my routine to change (imagine that). That is my oh, oh!
The Consumer Electronics Show is taking place in Vegas this week. I am not an electronics geek, but there are a few gadgets that are interesting. Imagine this! A big screen HDTV that is “curved” gently around the viewer to increase viewing pleasure. So here is the deal. Big, big screens. Curved screens. HDTV with 4U technology signifiantly increasing resolution (if that really matters), “smart” capability, finished off by 3D projection. Add an easy chair and a universal remote and the cold weather suddenly doesn’t matter. What could screw up the heavenly set-up? Maybe a partner wanting to watch Dr.Phil.
The Green Bay Packers aren’t “dancing” any more. For sure, changes on the defensive side of the ball are coming.
Your Mom made 2 batches of chicken dumpling soup just as the cold weather arrived. How do you spell “sweetheart”? With the letters M-O-M.
The phenomenon of “winter blues” occurs now. The excitement of the holidays capped by Christmas and New Year’s is followed by lousy weather and a lack of things to do. Depression sets in, especially since the Green Bay Packers are out of the playoffs. Fear not. This too shall pass. Hey, the new season of Downton Abbey is underway.
For the first time in fourteen years I walked the local Mall with my sweatshirt on. Even the Mall was having trouble keeping ahead of the cold.
Stay warm.
Love,
Dad
