Still Mad

Once again it has been a while since I have written.  I checked in and the last time I wrote I was mad about politics and I guess months later I am still mad. Not quite sure how to change that.  No one seems to be doing anything about it. I didn’t come to write a “I’m mad about politics post.” I came to write about the year 2020 and how we have finally have reached the “future.”  Well, to me anyway.  

2020 anything when I was little was the future and now that I am here I am amazed I have almost lived a half decade! I can’t wrap my head around that but it’s true, I have lived for a while even though I don’t feel so grown up in my head.  Grown up is my grandparents but even they have all passed away.  My grandmother was 97 last year when her heart gave out and my father's father passed away after an unsuccessful heart surgery to try and fix his heart.  Having them pass did make me sad that I am getting closer to being alone.  

Don’t get me wrong, I have people but as you get older those people pass away and that can be sort of a sad thought if you go there. Anyhoo, 2020 is the future.  It’s kind of a scary one with all that is going on in the world and I hope we come out of it okay but it still boggles the mind how people’s minds are all different.  How we all think different things and ultimately, how we don’t compromise. 

In the year 2020, I thought we have all learned the great humanity lesson and be working together traveling in space like Star Trek. But we have a long way to go and I wonder if I will live to see all the people coming together to be the human race.  Hum. The future.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
