happy rural highway speed limit to the ex!

Here Jeff is, with his buddy Bob, from an earlier time.

(Thanks, Amy, for the photo loan!)

I called Jeff today, of course, and sang to him for his birthday60.

We had a nice chat, too!

He'll be escaping the brutal cold spell for Christmas.

He and Amy will be visiting Bob in Arizona.

That will be a nice bit of thawing out!

I would like to go somewhere warm.

As Calvin's mom says, "Heat is expensive", and boy, do I know it!

My new electric bill was almost three times higher than normal!!!

Still, it wasn't as high as it was at this time last year, so either the weather hasn't been as bad or I've been layering up more.

Trust me, it's the latter.

I'm wearing a wrap right now as I write.

One of the things I did today was prepare more "love in the mail", including this for him.

"That may not be a partridge

in a pear tree,

but I know it wishes you

the best year yet to be!"

These cards will be too late for Christmas wishes, but perfect for the New Year.

One of the other things I've done today is my daily visit to AARP to play games for points.

Get this: a topic that was perfect for today!

"Broadcasting Innovation"

Right place, right time!

I wonder how many of the 18 questions the former ballpark announcer of the Savannah Sand Gnats would have known?

I was surprised I knew as many as I did!

Now, time for a recent Zach Braff movie ("The French Girl") that promises to be funny!

Happy birthday again!
