The DN







1   Yesterday I overslept.

2   Today I slept in.

3   There is a difference.

4   One is by accident.

5   The other one deliberate.

6   It happened somewhere in the 3 a.m. when I awakened to the teevee flickering the Giants/Dodgers' game.

7  My initial reaction was this: is this the longest game ever played?

8   Logic got the best of me after a few innings.

9   Don't get old.

10  Good lawdy, don't get old.

11  It ain't what it's cracked up to be.

12  That's all I have to say about that subject, but I thought I should give it a shout before my fingers fall off from all this typing.

13  Yes junior, I said, "typing".

14  Whippersnapper.

15  Anybody lookin'?

16  <Looks around>

17  Guess not.

18  Anyhow I'm late today.

19  I usually write this nonsense at night while watching banalities on teevee.

20  I got engrossed in the ball game, and in trying to multi-task. I wanted to cook, to clean the house, to clean the garage, to fix the fence...you get the drift.

21  We all ThINK about doing things like that, but every now and again we feel we can get up and do it.

23  I am of the age where I have mastered the fine art of going into a room and not remembering why.

24  Lunacy.

25  So here it is 7:07, the moment I was born, and I've no idea about too much of anything.

26  Get old.

27  I was just kidding earlier.

28  We have a glass suncatcher in the front window, which faces east.

29  The window. I correctly placed it in the sentence.

30  AnywayZ

31  It sends this little orb around the living room. The orb swims like a fancy fish.

32  It moves one way, changes direction, and moves back towards the sun.

33  It's pretty entertaining, in a Pollyannaesque sort of way.

34  <basketball buzzer>

35  I just got a foul for being obtuse.

36  Something just clicked in the other room.

37  It was clearly a Heidi click.

38  Every now and again she lets me know she's around.

39  I guess the ten bazillion coincidences that happened up 'til now didn't grab her attention.

40  ffsadffdfafdf.

41  I keep waiting for them to come and cart me off.

42  I sweh.

43  It's now 7:14 and I needs must go.

44  I have twenty minutes to put on my shoes and socks, gather all my stuff and get out the door.

45  That would take a young person around forty-five seconds.

46  Don't get old.

47  Or get old. 

48  Just don't hang out in between. You become a miscreant. To keep from that, I shall give you my favorite Haiku:

I don't like Haikus.
I don't understand Haikus.
Refrigerator.

49  Gottago.

50  Love yous.

51  See you again.

52   Peace.
