Monday and Tuesday have gone by slowly. I guess it’s going to be a week. Let’s power through.
And Now The News Or Not
I have discovered today I can’t watch the news much anymore. Like most American’s we are burned out on politics and all the bad stuff happening. Now I can watch CBS This Morning Saturday but that’s about it. Perhaps most of us need a break from the stuff that we have seen that is violent, destructive and not up lifting. Maybe for me at least getting home at the end of the day when I have given much to the workplace I just need a break from it all. So the news is best in small doses. Perhaps there is a saturation point that I have reached. Amazing for a info junkie like me.
Now That I’m 47, Now What
Now that I am another year older, I don’t want to be a middle aged dork who thinks he knows it all, trust me I don’t. Saying things such as “back in my day” kinda pains me because I still think I am 27 sometimes. Of course I don’t want to be some “creepy old guy” for being friendly to those younger than myself. Growing older doesn’t mean shriveling up and being boring but being able to explore life from a place of maturity and hopefully wisdom.
Dick Van Dyke is one of the greatest entertainers in America but as a senior citizen he is connected and uses technology with the best of them and he seems to navigate the social scene very well.
I want to navigate the world in a relevant way while still representing my generation and sharing my life’s experiences with those I love and like. Blogging helps me stay in the know and informs me of what the world is in the here and now.
Daily Prompt: Vice
Vice is defined as a moral depravity or corruption. It’s a flaw or weakness. Some people have their vices they struggle with and some things they embrace. A vice is also a thing that holds something in place using a heavy clamp as seen above. Then there is having your head in that same vice which always hurts, figuratively speaking. You don’t want to be busted by the vice squad of a police department. Being a Vice President is a pretty cool job. So as you see the word vice has many meanings. I think people who are left to their own devices can get into trouble or do amazing things. What’s your vice?
Birthday Slippers
I got these old school house shoes for my birthday and I love them. Thanks to my wife for the great gift.
