Nothing much to say

Not that that has ever stopped me from saying it anyway. Just more of the same around here. Beers at Cheap Charlies and Mango’s last night. A nice hike with the Wednesday group this morning, but I’ll post about that tomorrow. So, what does that leave?

Short ribs in the crockpot and cornbread muffins in the oven. I’ll let you know how that turns out when they’re done.

Budai joined in the dog walk again, hobbling along on three legs. She’s a trooper. Gave her a meal as a reward.
Facebook memories felt compelled to remind me of this moment from 7 years ago. Geez, I was a piece of work back then, wasn’t I?
And then four years ago I was winning a dart tournament in Bangkok. What a world!

And that leaves Alicia. Not much to say about her either. She started messaging me last night. I actually don’t recall adding her but we have some mutual friends so I guess I did. Anyway, she says she is 22 with no kids and is looking for a serious relationship. I told her I was 65 with grown kids and a granddaughter just a few years younger than her. She told me she likes guys my age. That whole age is just a number thing. Actually, I had no real interest but was bored sitting at the bar alone so I did the chat thing.

I guess I should be thrilled that a young woman would want to be my partner. I just don’t see it happening though. I mean, what are we going to talk about?

I’m going to leave it there for now.

Oh, and for some unfathomable reason, WordPress is throwing all the comments here into moderation, including mine. I really enjoy the feedback from my readers, so don’t worry–nothing’s changed. I check the queue regularly and will continue to approve any and all comments. Say your piece without restraint!

More to come tomorrow.

  1. First off, nice job taking care of Budai! Secondly, I like the pic of the Walrus. Sometimes I miss him. I am glad he took a serious interest in his health though. Mrs McCrarey was looking lovely as always. Last on the agenda McCrarey, this 60 year old could definitely find something to talk about with a 22 year old Filipina, if you get my drift. I am old enough to know though that a relationship based on sex is doomed to fail. Kudos to you for thinking with your big head. ☮️

  2. HaHa, Thanks Soju. Yeah, but after “cowgirl or doggie style?” what do you say?

    Sadly, the Walrus is dead. Long live the Walrus! I do miss the life that was taken from me but I remind myself that I’d probably miss this one too if circumstances were changed.

  3. Alicia looks like quite the catch. Though her age may be a bit of a problem, I think you could make it work. After all, in your area there are many such May/December couples( is that what they’re called). As for things to talk about, it’s quite easy: You were once 22 and you were once a single parent. That’s a good start right there.
    She would love to hear about the good old days with the walrus and she should relish the opportunity to tell you about her life. Of course, we are assuming that she can hold a long conversation in English before she gets a ‘nosebleed’, which is not guaranteed in those parts.
    If this goes well , she could take selfies for the Instagram with your granddaughter some day.

    I am also excited about the ribs. This crockpot is a savior.
    Enjoy

  4. James, well, my standard has always been ” would we look ridiculous together”. I’m not sure I could avoid that with a young beauty. Still, I might take her out for dinner just to see how it feels…
