Alex?
I got to spend time with Alex today. He is always fun. His parents tell me he has other moods, but, luckily, I don't see them. Perhaps my favorite moment was after Dad got home, and Alex did the ABC song for him. It ended with "sing with me", so I volunteered to sing with him. He told me I could not sing, that only Daddy was in his singing ( Read more... ) -
The Economy, and other boring subjects
I have not posted for a very long time, or read the journal. So be it. Sometimes I pull into my shell, and stay there, and sometimes I get busy.

Mine is poor. Spouse tells me March "comes in like a lamb". I thought it "comes in like a lion". It is apparently a saying, not a quote, but one would think it would be on the internet somewhere. Sure - lots of references, but none of any use ( Read more... ) -
Catching up
I have been watching Battlestar Galactica this week, getting caught up a bit. I was around (and the right age) when Star Trek premiered. It was expected to do well with older kids and younger teens perhaps. Battlestar advertises special insurance and such for the over 60 crowd. Who decided on their demographics?

Old Entry
Spouse is still laid up. Sunday the kids very kindly took me shopping. When we got back from the store, Alex was awake, and, when he saw the house, said "Grandpa ( Read more... )
