Wednesday Notes

• So when you sit down and think about it and realize the situation, I feel a little stunned at turning sixty-one. Sometimes it feels like you were eighteen, blinked your eyes and suddenly became sixty-one.
• Next door neighbor told me that his car was stolen a few days ago. Apparently he left it unlocked. That's one of my most strictly followed obsessions ..... always locking doors. If I've ever left a car, house or apartment door unlocked it would have been when I was a teenager. It just never occurs to me to do anything but lock doors. Why invite problems?
• May have mentioned this before but my two least favorite words when used together are: "assembly required."
• Scored a genius in a facebook spelling quiz, justifying my second place finish many years ago in a seventh grade spelling bee. Not a citywide, statewide or nationwide spelling bee, but just my Catholic school, seventh grade class. But hey, second place is second place. I earned the title and justified it tonight.
