Links??

I wish there were someway to link this page to my Facebook page. Does anyone have any ideas?

Still here...

Well, I am still here but barely, or so it seems at times, as I muddle through my advanced years which have only now begun to show.    People still think I am younger than I am and I am of two minds in this regard.   Since I don't usually feel my age that is good however I can't really identify with either the younger crowd or the older crowd, that is, people of my age.  Every time I pass a senior housing facility and look at pictures of the inmates, er, I mean, patients, or whatever, I say to myself, NO WAY.  I am not going there.  I am not ready for that even on days when some of the simplest tasks seem to tire me out.

So where do I go next?  Well, financial constraints mean that I will not be traveling as much as I have been in recent years.  My vacations in Thailand are over and as much as I would like to return to Paris, hotel costs there as well as in my first hometown of Boston, make those two destinations seem unlikely now.  I guess this means short jaunts around the West Coast.  A weekend in Vegas or in San Diego visiting my friend Dave or possibly to Portland where I have never been or Seattle where I spent one cold New Years weekend in 1976.  By the way, it snowed that night.  Who knows what I will do.

If this city of San Francisco does not drive me crazy nor this apartment house, I guess I should be able to write a few lines in this blog from time to time.  Retirement has given me a lot of time to write and do other things as long as I don't get lazy and waste that time.

And why am I writing this after an absence of a number of months?   Well, one of the characters in the delightful movie "Julie and Julia"  which I watched again tonight, was writing a blog and that reminded me that I had done nothing with this one in a long time.  So, for better or worse, here I am again.  And now I will just say, bye for now.
