Well I must say Thursday was rather chilly, gray and overcast for most of the day. While the temps stayed around the 50 degree mark for most of the day it felt even colder as the damp air seemed to penetrate you right to the bone. It was around that 50 degree mark when I awoke and right there when I finally headed for some horizontal lab around 11 PM.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out and after my usual routines and a few quiet moments to give thanks and remember a few folks who were on my mind I got ready to head out to the gym on my bike for some to 2 plus hours of pickle ball. Wow did we ever have 8 very good advanced players and even a visitor from The Villages which is near Ocala. He told us they have over 150 pickle ball courts for that complex and he is one of those who ranks the players in their ability to play the game. He had a nice game and it was fun to play with and against him during the course of the morning. Needless to say when I left at 10, I could once again wring my shirt of the sweat. I made a quick stop at the library on the way home.
I decided to head out to my barbershop where Patti does a great job on keeping me groomed. She and her daughter Christina run this 2 chair shop on Seminole Blvd which is close to my house so I ride my bike. We got to talking and her beau bought one of Bobby's book THE EPIC OF HAVEN and Bobby autographed it for him. I mentioned to her that I put this ramble together everyday so that my grand kids will know a little about us when we are gone and she seemed interested with in my leaving a little of us in word through this journal of how life is as we know it now. How the people we get to know and interact with and some of the mundane daily experiences as well as I interject some of my opinion's in the social and political realms that face us daily and which may be an influence on how they will face life in their future. I knew very little about my grand parents except for my grand mother who helped to raise me as a small child before I went to live with an uncle(paw paw) who took me in when I was about 4-5 years of age and raised me as his own son with his 3 daughters. Many of them are now grand parents as well and we share our memories and pictures through this daily blog or journal.
After a quiet lunch with just Nancy and I, she headed out to take her mother to a doctor's appointment so I stayed in where it was cozy and read the afternoon away. I did hook up the Ipad to the Bose and found some great Blue Grass stations and we listened and even at times danced a little to this "hard to keep still" music. After a supper of baked flounder, fresh asparagus and leftover Cole slaw and the clean up we settled into the Fox News channel to see what is happening in the world with true investigating reporting that is unbiased. The major networks are so biased in their reports that keep this administration from looking incompetent that it's almost ridiculous and self serving; as they were the ones who helped get this community organizer elected not once but twice. I find nothing to glean from their newscasts and those who spew their sycophant babble, oh well just my opinion.
We tuned into the American Idol talent show and found it to be much more entertaining than the news of us the USA releasing 5 more terrorist by this administration who will be back in field trying their darnedest to kill us once again. The guy who put the Obamacare bill together was definitely right when he spoke that Americans were to stupid to understand the bill and now we are too stupid to understand that we are being led to more slaughter by this religion whose ideology is to kill those who don't believe the way they do. It's unbelievable that we are allowing this to actually occur in our once great nation where we stood for the rights of all folks regardless of their beliefs, but now all of that is changing with this leadership or lack thereof in the Nations Capital. Wake Up America before Sharia law becomes the norm in our country and don't be fooled by these who profess Islam is a religion of peace, LATER
