I Usta Throw a Curveball

Drove down to the cities for Christmas. Weather was too dangerous for Johnny and the girls to come up here. We went over and saw our grandson and then had a quiet Christmas Eve at John's. Played some cards and had a couple of Captain Morgans and coke. John and I don't normally drink that but we know somebody who did so we always have a couple on Christmas Eve. Guess that's now our tradition.
Chaos reignith Christmas Day when the girls got there. After presents, we decided to play some Wii. My favorite was the bowling. No idea how many games I played. Then it was time for the snowball fight. I can hardly move my right arm.......And I thought I was in shape.
A three hour drive home took four hours yesterday. T'wasn't a lot of fun on the freeway. Blew out the driveway. One neighbor came over with some treats today and another showed up with his plow and plowed out my mailbox. It's funny. People live up here for the peace and privacy yet they always seem to be there when you need some help. You don't even have to ask. We really only knew one neighbor when we lived in BP and up here we know all five couples. Funny how that goes...
Oh, and speaking of that curveball. It's the only real pitch I had in Little League. I tried to throw one to my nephew about six years ago and tossed the ball into the lake. My arm hurt the next day after that effort as well. I never seem to learn.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Be safe New Years Eve...

The Future? Oh Yeah, and Last Wednesday....

Ever notice how busy people are these days? It seems to get worse each year. At least to me it seems to. Ok, I'm retired so it's easy for me to talk, however, there are more ways to occupy ones time than ever before. Cell phones, that do darn near everything, computers, year around sports, school, work. It just goes on and on. It's the world we live in I guess and I'm just a spectator. I'm hoping these two and maybe my grandson will become hunters. Sure we can bond in many other ways but I might shoot a big deer again someday and I need someone to drag it out for me..... It builds character....
Ok, weather report. We got between 15-17 inches of snow Wednesday. Thursday was the start of the four day does only deer hunt. It was 6 below and Dewey Drive didn't look too inviting so I went back to bed. It was 17 below this morning. I would have loved to have gone out but had to drive to Superior to let the vampires have some blood. Darn.... I had fresh venison for dinner last night so the incentive really isn't there.
Ok, medical report. Took my last pill this morning and am feeling like my old self. This dang climate change is keeping those ticks active longer. After all, I got bit in November. Unless those little suckers have snowshoes, I should be safe now...
