Sort of retired, trying to figure out what to do with my time...
Our house in Florida had marble windowsills because of the humidity dripping down the windows. Does Trump think the Kennedy Center audience will be unusually wet on their arms?

My dad told stories with too many unnecessary details (afraid I have that tendency). The last summer we visited I sat with Dad and he began a story that never got to any point. Never did figure out what he was trying to say, but he chuckled through it so he thought it was funny.

My husband and I both have Federal tax withheld from our monthly SS checks. Me because I still work part-time, he because he works contract with no taxes withheld. Wondering if anything will change?

My husband and I just had a "Spring" COVID booster because it was recommended. We're both over 70 and don't want to get hit with COVID when we travel this summer.

I just sat down to knit, read Decoding Fox News and drink coffee. I suddenly have a purring cat on my lap. I guess I'll be here a while. I know the rules...

We lived in Orlando and watched the Challenger explode while standing in the parking lot at work. A new employee asked, "is it supposed to do that?" as pieces of the shuttle went in different directions. Our 3 year old loved the 'pace shuttle. So many sad conversations followed.
