Reunion and Other Notes

Christmas Eve ..... Saw nieces, nephews and siblings that I hadn't seen for a few years ..... which was through of no fault of theirs. To sum things up as simply as possible: It feels good to be called "Uncle Mick" again.

• Fell in love with a watch the other day. The lady even let me try it on. ..... then I saw the price. For a second or two the thought of making a run for it raced through my mind. Too bad that I can't run much anymore. God I have some damn expensive tastes! Why don't they display the prices on timepieces like they do on everything else in the jewelry case and save me the angst?
• I have this spot I keep returning to, rumored to be a great location for bald eagle sightings. But all I've seen are red-tail hawks. As was once said on Seinfeld: "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
• I'm beginning to believe that the number one issue with growing older is in keeping up with taking a person's prescribed medications.
