A Tail Gate Party at 6:45 a.m. (and Other Matters of No Great Import))

 Zion and I are part of a a circle of acquaintances who run into each other most mornings at Bayfront Park in Sarasota.

As it happens we have two things in common.  I. We are proud Democrats. 2. We each have a "greatest dog in the world":- Chris, Max, Dewey, and Zion.

Dewey's Dad and Mum will be moving house tomorrow.  They are not leaving SRQ, but they will be farther away from Bayfront. Daily visits will be difficult.

Any excuse for an au revoir party.

We gathered in the parking lot and had a tail-gate party, with a Box O' Joe and some mini-Muffins.  

Older people going wild!




OTHER EARTH SHATTERING EVENTS TODAY FOR THIS OLD FOGEY

 


First.  

I had my Moderna booster shot (at long last).




There was no long line at my local Publix Pharmacy.   I was in and out within 15 minutes.  The Pharmacist was a joy and delight.  Her bet is that most of us (in the prosperous world)  will need and receive an annual Covid vaccination.


Second.

I closed my "Discover" Credit Card account about three years ago since I rarely if ever used it.

I was surprised to  receive a Discover Statement today. Turns out they owe me money!

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
