As I began the new and improved regimen of pills I thought perhaps I should check some of the paperwork that comes with each new batch of pills. After reading over only two pages of the many I realized I already had about half of the maladies that are caused by the medicine prescribed, so it's up to the patient to decide if it's worth the risk.
On a lighter note, congratulations to grandson Jordan and his wife upon the purchase of a home in Canton. They both have good jobs and we wish them well. Kiera is real excited about having her own room complete with access to the attic for which she has big plans.
Granddaughter Raelleen and her husband Ron have recently closed on their new home in Illinois. She finished her stint in the Air Force and he is still in. Also, Grandson Andy has finalized their home purchase in Wellsboro. He has also started a new job so we have more news in one family than we have on Sister Street.
One note about Jordan's moving experience was the need for my trailer and my expertise as a driver. The usual stuff was loaded: picnic table, lawnmower, yard toys and assorted outdoor furniture. My one-armed son-in-law and his one-legged father-in-law both looked at the large double-decker toolbox in the shed and decided to leave it for younger muscles.
Amid all the moving and meetings and the seemingly endless doctor visits we had an anniversary and it nearly was missed. (I said nearly.) If it was completely forgotten you probably wouldn't be reading this.
The credit for the past twenty-plus years goes to my wife. I don't know how she puts up with me. After all, I am bull-headed, opinionated, set in my ways and generally hard to live with. How do I know all this? Because I was told by guess who? Because we get along so well we have decided to take separate vacations this year. I will travel to Florida and she has opted for the exciting village of Whitneyville, PA.
Now for the the news that borders on the ridiculous. A clerk in Kentucky goes to jail for her beliefs but in the same one-hour "news" a prayer room is proposed for the airport in Orlando.
Joe Biden has not even decided if he will run for President yet he is at 16% to 20% in the polls.
Remember how we referred to Bill Clinton as "Slick Willie?" I have tried to come up with a cute reference for Hillary but I guess slick will have to do.
There is an argument to lower the drinking age to 18 because they can join the military at that age but cannot buy alcohol until age 21. I have an idea. How about raising the fighting age?
There is a new feature coming to the Facebook crowd - a "dislike" button or app or whatever they call it. Just remember, kids: "say it, forget it" or "write it, regret it." Ask old Hillary.
How about the farmer in Michigan who found a ten-to-fifteen-thousand year old wooly mammoth in a field? How come no-one ever has found a Big-Foot?
