It’s a pity the country has been falling apart when I was finally getting my life together.
I just found out that my father’s paternal grandfather was born in New Brunswick. However, we don’t know where he’s buried; or, if he was cremated, scattered
This is the guy that told my grandfather Francis that he’d wished he would’ve died instead of his younger brother, Hobart, who was born in 1903 and died in 1906. Francis was born in 1900.
For the first time, I made a meal from the state grain of Minnesota.
Today I found out that I’m the same age as Archie Bunker (and Carroll O’Connor) was at the start of All In The Family. I don’t know what to do with that information.
I don’t feel like an Archie Bunker. Don’t think I look his age either. But I might be biased.
Anyway, I’m going to go blast some rock and play video games and pretend I didn’t discover that.
You’re still a kid, don’t sweat it.
Rock? Rock?
You gotta sing this, Meathead:
Boy, the way Glenn Miller played
songs that made the hit parade
Guys like me we had it made
Those were the days
Hair was short and skirts were long
Kate Smith really sold a song
I don’t know just what went wrong
those were the days
… people take better care of themselves now
“smoking is good for us” has been debunked
still working on “moderate drinking is good for us”
Let’s not forget the lack of lead in paint and gasoline.
I’m having Amtrak coffee for the first time since 2015. It was terrible then. This is not so bad.
Update.
It has a burnt, Starbuck’s-like flavor to it. That’s the only thing keeping it from being “good.”
