Relief

Bought myself a cane
Damn knee needs better support
The start of the end?

Santa Barbara

Peaches and Pizza
An hour at Farmers Market
Playing with grandkids

Aches and Pains

Night fears are the worst
Nameless terrors steal my sleep
Thank God for doctors!

Money

Euros and Forints
And even Czech Korunas
Strange stacks of money!

Our Anniversary

Forty-seven years
Wasn't it just yesterday?
When did we grow old?

Ouch

An Oom-pah-pah band
Should never play G & S
Oh the pain of it!

Water

Water pipe is fixed
Little things make me happy
Great shower today!

Hair of the Dog

The Hair of the Dog
It is supposed to be good
I think not this hair!

Friends lost

Peggy Morrison
Used to be my BFF
Where the hell is she?

Technology

First it was painting
Then storytelling, then books
What will it be next?

Prostitutes

1845
Pretty Women of Paris
Tears behind the smiles

Vagina

"Trans-vaginal," yes
but "Vagina" offensive?
How stupid is that?

Estate Planning

Medical Agent
Executor of Estate
All this--just to die!

Father's Day

Hamburger, Hot Dog
Which will come off the grill first
Air is thick with smoke

Two-Legged Dog

Joey has no legs
But then she met our Ashley
Soon, Joey will run

A Rant

Offensive, he said
Then punished her for the word
What about free speech?

Books

Chaucer and Balzac
Scandal for "Music Man" gals
I'll find out myself.

98 and Going Strong

Happy Birthday, Bill
Ninety-Eight and still blogging!
I won't last that long

Reflection

Dogs think I'm crazy
Why awake at 3 a.m.?
They don't have my dreams.

Visitor

It passed so quickly
This trip we'd planned for so long
Susan came and left.
