In reply to Jim Zeiser. No one likes to see their loved ones suffer. I know it helps her that I'm here. We're all hoping for some clearer skies ahead.

In reply to Billy Blades.

I saw your motorcycle parked outside the library the other evening. Pretty cold weather you’re riding in Billy. You must have the bug. Old age isn’t for the faint of heart. Small text… there have been times when I had to photograph small text and then enlarge the image on my iPhone so I could read it.

I’ll let Kim know that you’re thinking of her.

I sorry to hear about Kim. Watching my late wife slip away ranks as the most painful time of my life. I couldn’t even dull it with rides. I’m hoping for both of you.

I also enjoy reading you posts, especially since I found out that by scrolling over your text my phone will actually read it to me. Another sign of old age, small print on my phone.
Tell Kim that I am thinking of her.

Just thinkin…
Chocolate at Duffy’s is not a bad situation;
you need your comfort food, we all do from time to time.
You, more of late.
Your own physicians will understand especially now with Kim ill.
So enjoy and think of those of us who are unable to
enjoy chocolate at Duffy’s Tavern

Your non-resistance to cold comes as result of a number of factors. Yes increasing chronological age however you’re on some form of blood thinner as I recall, that of itself can mess your system. I suffered/experienced three pulmonary embolisms way back in the mid-1970’s.

Those days many did not live through one, I endured three in five weeks, and since then have been on one form or another of blood thinner. And post chemo added another blood thinner to the mix. The blood thinner does the job, cold weather completes the situation hence cold is also not my friend.

However have over time my body can adjust to the cold, and now prefer cold to the hot confines of summer. Weird eh?

The two dogs seem to enjoy the cold and snow; black dogs on a white snowy landscape;
allows for an interesting photographic contrast.

Warm thoughts from me too, but darn you! You’re chasing me to Duffy’s Tavern again! As for the cold and snow, for many years I loved cross-country skiing and went all over MD, WV, PA and NY to find the best snow. Yesterday I skied a measly two miles and had so many pains I hardly enjoyed it, not from unused muscles, but from creeping arthritis I think. Today’s tasks, research arthritis and go to Duffy’s!

Yes, my father-in-law is finding out it is indeed hell to get old. I just hope, that he finds the alternative Even less appealing.

Hope Kim’s situation improves medically very soon.

I’ve really come to enjoy how your posts now feature a number of different short topics, Steve. Your introspective writings always communicate feelings beyond the words themselves. I truly appreciate that!

I meant warm toughts of course. Sending one warm thought is just silly 🙂

Hang in there Steve, sending you warm thought.

If that doesn’t work, the Termoscud surely will. If you add a tall windscreen every winter day will feel like spring.
