 jan 8 2023

ageing  aint no picnic... i have resorted to a bunch of "comfort foods". probably started with the oxy and cheesecake... and how entertaining can counting gum chewing men be??? along with tv..... the woman reading the book during #14 with the actual name of "the subtle art of not giving a f#$%^."--- right there on camera....

i am thrilled to be  invited to "the writers"  dinner for the ip news...   WHO ME?????
The concept of the value of a local news was something i never gave much thought  to...
until i heard there are federal  grants that encourage such papers.... and thanks to john. ipswich has one.  i have seen plenty in this area which were, but  are no more..
one big thing it does is list the town's available help for seniors... like meetings, meals  and rides..i know there are"stipulations" for towns...  like keeping us old folks entertained... and fed if necessary. plus some number of lower income housing,,,,
*****
i have recently commented on the fact that larkey  and jiminey would like to bicker... and get in a significant "fight"  -- as a normal passage of  juvinile male activity..
i should have renamed them harry and william...

i did learn a new term... "the spare heir." --- i was the painfully youngest of 3 daughters... i can not imagine the added complications of male, and royal family.
the book comes out on tuesday???
