My friend that set up my website died suddenly, and I’m sorta lost. I always counted on him to do whatever I needed. So now I’m trying…in the meantime, my body is not doing well, so I’m not doing all of my old activities. But I’m still making buttons, so feel free to think of your own, or look at my lists. I’ve added Old Age, but it’s in the wrong place. I’m trying to fix it. If you are in a retirement center, or a similar situation, you and your friends might like a few of these for a party. Think about it!

Business is slow – I’m sure Covid has something to do with it. But are you still having birthdays? Are you supporting someone politically? Are you having an event? One where you could use names on the button fo;r identification? Think about buttons. Whatever you want – very personalized. I never post here, but since I’m updating my dance lists, I’m blogging too! Life has not changed much in these past few years – I’m still dancing, fencing, doing yoga, playing my accordion, grooming dogs, writing funny Seders with my Greater Seder gang – had a few medical mishaps along the way, but still functioning – hopefully at a better than 80 (which I’ll be in September) age. No longer traveling – I’ve run out of money and am so sad. But – I’m on the right side of the grass…
The weather is now perfect for Yoga in the Park on Sundays. It’s at 5:00, now that the time has changed, so that we aren’t practicing in the dark. A different teacher does the lesson each week, some better than others, but always nice. There are at least 50 people there each time. Maybe it’s more – I can’t make those estimates, but we are never crowded as the park has different levels, the teaching is done with a microphone, we bring our mats, and do our thing! It actually goes on all year, but now is perfect! it is nice also that it is free, although one can make a donation if one wants. Yeah Florida! Just went to a thank-you coffee, given by OAT and Grand Circle. It was very nice. About 350 of us attendng, more old than young, I must say. I guess more Grand Circle people. Anyway, it was at a hotel, very good breakfast, then a nice guy and large staff to “thank” us, slide presentation of the world, all the discounts available, all the new trips, how to get a free trip, a drawing. Mostly it really made my mouth water. I added up my countries I have been in – 66 to date – I think I didn’t forget any. And of course a list of where I still want to go. I’ve got to figure out a way to get somewhere again! Maybe if we pass up one year and go the next I’ll be able to do it. Lots of these people travel all the time – made me really jealous! Anyway it was a lovely morning. I just realized why there were so many old people. It was in the morning….working people couldn’t attend. Oops!
The Florida Orchestra (FloridaOrchestra.org) has a special “Pops” series, and this past weekend, they did “The One and Only Frank Sinatra”, which, of course, was wonderful. Jeff Tyzik was the guest conductor, who has a long history of big band stuff and he did a tribute to Tommy Dorsey, with Janes Pugh on trombone, and in the second half did a Drmmer’s Medley starring Dave Mancini (don’t know if related), and a Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra written by Nathaniel Shikret, never heard before in this audience. It was very Gershwin-ish and so I loved it. Steve Lippia sang all the Sinatra favorites, and both he and Tyzik, did some fun patter as well. A very enjoyable evening! My girlfriend Kathie plays in the orchestra and so I attend thanks to her, and I keep her man, Jim, company. He and I discuss our animals in great detail during intermissions. At one time I had a pig, and he took over the care and feeding of Rooty until his death last month (the pig’s, not Jim). Rooty was the oldest pig the vet has ever known. Well, that got off the subject, didn’t it… |
