The Road to Retirement

I haven't blogged for a long time.    My daughter called me yesterday and told me that I had better get blogging as she liked to read what I had to say.    Well let's see what has happened since last I wrote.    They posted my job at work.    It felt kind of funny seeing it there in the job postings list.    I started to panic a little bit.    I thought to myselt....self you can always change your mind.   However a co worker set me straight and said i couldn't for whatever reason.    A bunch of us went to Janice-on-haitus house yesterday.    If you ever want to go visit a cool place go visit the fish hatchery in Bath.   She lives at the fish hatchery although she has nothing to do with the fish.     I spoke with my best friend from High School this week.   She has had cancer for the past 20 years.   She is having a difficult time.   She has been in the hospital.   She says that they are running out of meds that will work.    She has struggled with this for so long.   It was one of those moments when I once again looked back and we were 18.   We had such fun and kind of had life by the tail.    Life has a way of flicking it's tail though.   I was wondering if any of you read this if you could say a prayer for my friend.    This weekend I am going camping and taking my light up Palm Tree with me.   I am excited by that prospect.    Next weekend going to camp with my old college roommates at the races in Watkins Glen.   This proves to be a very interesting experience.   No electricity or water and surrounded by a bunch of crazy drunks.   I am referring to the other race goers not my old college roommates.   So not much exciting has occured.     I hope not to go so long without blogging.     See ya all later...oh wait...if ever you happen to be driving down by Cincinnatti Ohio and go across the border  to Florence Kentucky look up at the water tower..It says  FLORENCE Y'ALL.
