The elephant in the memory room, so to speak, is age. How does one compensate for the decline in memory as one ages? Buy more Post-its? Put chalkboards in every room? (The bedroom chalkboard could get interesting.) Set alarms for our impending alarms? Surely, there’s got to be another way.
Mexercise
It was one of my goals when I came to Mexico to lose some weight and exercise more, so I head off to the hotel gym with the best of intentions. The first obstacle encountered is the location of the room. It is on the second floor of the hotel. I would have to climb stairs to access it. Stairs!
Musicians Are Not Sports Heroes
Any idiot can make up jazz, direct an orchestra or write music and sing dumb songs. We need to start really appreciating pro sports athletes instead of complaining about not getting paid for something anyone could do.
The Guitar Player and the Church
The small church was packed with about 250 in attendance and in order to be heard over the din of the “chosen” instrument and other assorted strings and banging things I decided to bring my gigging amp, a 50 watt vintage tube combo.
New Jacket, Old Argument
It seems that no matter how old you are, when you go home you fall into the same old roles. This is about a mother who has battled all her life to try and get her daughter to dress more girly, and a daughter who isn’t buying into the stereotype.
Christmas Letters My Father Wrote
The famous Christmas Letter, in our house it was a publication that was sought after by many of my parents’ friends and family.
Words and Pictures
Whenever adults described me as a child they always inserted a modifier: they said I was terribly shy or horribly shy or, the most painful of all, painfully shy. But even as a shy kid I was never bored or without friends. That’s because I surrounded myself with words and pictures.
Who Shrank The Kayak?
As in “Objects in the mirror may appear closer than they are”, rental kayaks should also come with the warning: “Cockpits may appear larger than they actually are. Small kayaks rented to middle aged women for the sole purpose of entertaining the staff. Thank you for your cooperation.”
My Diabolical Computer
I grant you this is not a new piece of equipment and that it gets a whole lot of use, but recently, out of the proverbial blue (Big Blue?), it has started doing some weird and annoying things. Can older PCs show signs of Alzheimer’s disease? Because if so, I’ve got a case on my hands!
Alernative Energy…Really?
I find it ironic that solar power is classified as alternative energy whereas fossil fuel is not. So let’s turn this concept upside down and ask Fern to shed a little light on the matter.
