Another year ending

Each morning seems colder. Each day drearier. It's too cold to be comfortable for a long bike ride and there's no snow to cross country ski upon. It's the in between time when I wait for what will come and wonder.

It's a month and a half since I last wrote. It was a very full time. I started teaching a Communications course in the for UPEI; travelled to Buffalo with my son to see the Bills get Stomped by the patriots (no capital letter because they're not really patriotic) and the Sabres romp over the Hurricanes; had a late birthday party with brothers, sister and their families; visited with family; reunited with four classmates from my high school daze and then did a quick trip to Halifax when I returned to the maritimes.

Lately I've been busy with getting in the lawn furniture, securing things for the winter weather, working on refinishing a couple of old pieces of furniture that we picked up recently. And generally, keeping busy but not doing anything that amounted to much. Such is the life of the retiree. Always the busy work, sometimes excitement and mostly just being and enjoying each day as it comes.

Sometimes when you let yourself think about it you wonder why. But mostly it's just a lot of fun watching the world roll by and reacting or not to the craziness that always seems to pop up around you.

Now I'll take the dog for a little run, check the mail at the box and then depending on what's there, go into town for lunch with Audrey and hit the bank on the way back or not if my check isn't in the mail. I guess that's an old story.

Anyway, here's another blog. Maybe now that the weather is making the indoors more appealing I'll write more. Or not?
