OLD

 I am from 15 to more than 50 years older than anybody who might read stuff I write. When you get into your 90s will you be old and wise, old and foolish or just old. Being just old is not all that bad.

PARDON MY PONDER

Call me Shorty.  Most of my Facebook and Blog posts are pretty short. I can write long ponderous things, Pretty good ones. But I get a weird pleasure from heavily, brutally editing my stuff. There are some reasons, explanations for that.  But if I think and write about that I will get ponderous. Maybe I will make a list of things I might someday ponder about.  A real short list.

 

That's a joke, son

Here is is.  For free. The secret of happiness. You don't even need to buy a book: Be so amused by your own humor, spend so much time rolling on the floor in hysterics that you don't care if nobody else gets it or thinks it's funny. If they take you away you can meet others who have discovered the secret. Have a rolling good time.

Wise Saying #23

You laugh at things that aren't funny or you go nuts.

Wise Saying #1. Or whatever # it is.

Women take things too seriously. Men do not take things seriously enough. Women and men are basically incompatible.

ALL ABOUT COWS

Ever see a purple cow?  I remember my mother reciting the funny little verse that was written in 1895.  It ends with "I'd rather see than be one." Fred Meijer had a purple cow when he was a lad down on the farm.  I see her happy face when I dip into a carton of my favorite Meijer Purple Cow Ice Cream.

I wanted to use this one in my column in the Senior

Perspectives Magazine but I can't give Meijer's a

free ad.  Too bad.
