A MORNING IN THE LIFE OF....


 Early this morning I had asked a guy who was celebrating his birthday # 80, what he does all day. "Oh...I sleep, watch TV, eat, read the paper, take a shower, go to bed."

So I determined to keep a record of my own activities this Friday morning July 6, 2012. Thank you for reading.


A MORNING OF STEVE

Up at 5:30 AM, to do the morning stuff--you'll have to trust me here--grin!--which includes meditation and prayer. Participation at 7 AM in a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is important to me. This is one of the places we gather daily in Naples, Florida.


Visited the gym (Crunch) where I was a member. This was my last morning there, since Anna is taking over my membership. (Taking a "medical" leave, I told them--grin!) This photo is about one eighth of the whole workout floor. I will miss it. Peeps there are SO nice!


Could not resist a shot of this 2013 'Vette outside the gym. A LOVELY and WORTHILY spent $60,000 plus. She IS pretty. And a 'handicap' card hanging on the rear vision mirror. Talked with the owner. I believe he hurt his pinkie finger catching a football in the Super Bowl last February


AHHHH, a visit to STARBUCKS. I believe there is one of these stores on Antarctica--long way to go for a "Black-Eye" (coffee with double shot of espresso), my "Drug-of-Choice!"


WAIT! WAIT!


 Oooops! I forgot to mention, "Black-Eye" is always best with an Apple Fritter, or some such Sweeter thingy. Ummmmmmm! Oh well, I can always cur back yard growth:


This pile of unwanted yard material had to be ready for the County Disposal Department before tonight (Friday). They pick up only what is neatly placed in plastic containers. Another four cans full for next week...


Since I opted out of the gym facility, it was time this morning to pump up the tires on my bicycle, and get

"...ready to ride and spread the alarm
to every middlesex village and farm..."

THE BRITISH ARE COMING...
(and Steve has gone 'bats in his belfry'
where lanterns had shone their light.)
 
"One if by land, and two if by sea--
I on the opposite shore will be..."

(Partly used are words from Longfellow
"The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere") 

Of course, Peeps...a healthy amount of time is spent daily reading some blog posts, commenting, Face-Booking. I get about 4 hours of sleep every night, nap (siesta in Mexico!) in afternoon, a habit I picked up about two years ago. And play violin, rehearsal and job every week, plus other. And I'm learning (classes) to be a webmaster. Next year I'll be 80--am I supposed to read paper, watch TV, sit around in back yard all day? Maybe! I'll letcha know!
Meanwhile. LOVE and PEACE are from

    1. About that Black Eye...be sure to leave room for cream!

      And Brian, NO--Black Eye is NOT when
      apple fritter hits you in the eye--grin!

      That's RED EYE, one shot espresso!

    I love to read your stuff, and take more time than the paper.

    We don't have Starbucks in ruriland- only Boston, possibly Worcester/Springfield.

So nice to get a glimpse of your Mtg. house; I hear the format is different your way- (Meat and potato's the same) What in He-- is a Webmaster ? (I can barely type.)

    1. WEBMASTER: BIG spider!

      Actually, one who administers web pages for others (or yourself, I guess?) is a webmaster. SOMETIMES more WEB than MASTER--grin!

      Don't know that format is different really--but DO know that it makes no difference.
      NONE WHATEVER!!!
      PEACE, Izzy!

    1. Yes Syd...I see folks around me needlessly withering--before their 'time'. It is painful to watch, but as a rule, desire and will are diminished.
      Thanks for coming over here.
