I'm back from respite. Don't know if I'll start posting again...maybe I will, maybe not. Depends on how I feel. Maybe intermittently.
My brother and I have a new hobby that takes up quite a lot of our time when we're out and about. It is fun and satisfying. You might want to try it sometime. Your happy response will surprise you. Desperate times require desperate measures--that's all I'm saying.
At the check-out counter in stores, we turn all of the magazines showing Mr. Obama's face to the back side. Considering his face is becoming as ubiquitous as the Shah, you can amuse yourself for some time doing this. People standing in line stare at you, no doubt thinking that if you're doing this, you are some unhinged. I stare back at them, shrug my shoulders and say, "What?"
I also like to hover over the rack, so nobody dares turn them back around.
