One of Those Days

Yesterday was. But I'll get back to that in a minute.

First, about this blog. Looking back I see that this is only my fourth post since I retired. (It is also my first since the Grand York Rite Sessions, but I may get to that later.) I also see that the last 3 have had 5 views each. If you take out mine, and a couple of masochists, I think that leaves bots. I just re-read them and, as usual, didn't have much to say anyway, so I don't suppose I can blame anyone for thinking I retired from blogging too, it sorta looks like I did. Okay, that's enough of that (for now.)

My aunt passed away last Sunday. She was 93, my Dad's oldest sister. His youngest sister is now the only one of his generation left. I would have liked to attend her funeral.

And that brings me back to yesterday. It was one of those days. Basically, I drove to Beaumont for an alternator. Thursday I had my oil changed and my tires rotated, and the car "checked out." They didn't find any problems (and specifically said the battery was "fine.") So I got on the road by 6 AM to drive to Anderson, Texas for my aunt's funeral. As I approached the first traffic light on my way out I noticed my battery light was on..., can you see where I'm going here? I can stop, wait for something to open, get it checked and definitely miss the funeral... OR ... I can take my chances.

You don't want to hear the rest of this whining. I have a new alternator.

Okay, I have nothing to count down to. I let my annual Birthday/Blog Anniversary blog and Letterman's retirement pass without comment. (I did apparently do a first draft on Letterman.) I haven't even followed up on the stuff I mentioned in my 3 blogs since retirement (maybe I'll do that next week?) I have a couple of Masonic things in Alexandria today, but the first is only a 10 minute drive from where I am now.

You kids get off my lawn!
