Trapped Turkeys Make Great Escape Before Thanksgiving!
A couple of days ago we saw what I think is called a rafter of wild turkeys in our neighbor’s back yard. It’s fenced in and it looked like they were all toms. They acted like they couldn’t figure out how to get over the fence, even though they can fly. There’s something ludicrous about…

The Weather Guy
We like to watch the Weather Channel. One of the meteorologists is very conservative in his forecasts. He’s always hedging: “And here we see a radar signal that might be indicative of a tornado, not saying it definitely is a tornado, just saying it might be, and over here in this county next to a…

Another 2 Person Glow Ball Juggling Adventure!
Sena and I are still practicing the 2-person 6 ball pass juggling trick. We adjusted the colors on the glow balls so they all change color. We count so we can stay in synch on the pass (1, 2, pass). We have to count the first two throws from the right hand only—which is sometimes…

New Aromatherapy Diffusers!
Sena got some new aromatherapy diffusers made by Studio 66. They have a magical glow. One has a design of cardinals on it and it is titled Winter Ice (or Mistletoe, depending on what side of the box you read). The box says it smells like sweet orange, warm cinnamon, juniper berries and eucalpytus. The…

New Step Platform for Climbing Stairs Exercise!
Yesterday we got the new aerobic step platform for cardiovascular health enhancement exercise. As I reported in October, climbing stairs can be very helpful in promoting cardiovascular health. This article summarizes the findings. At least 5 flights (around 50 steps of 10 stair steps) is said to be beneficial. I climbed a lot of stairs…

The Geezer Remarks on Superfoods
Sena is big on eating healthy, which is a good thing. On the other hand, we don’t necessarily always like the same foods. And there’s the whole issue of what people call superfoods nowadays. Funny, when I was a kid, I used to just refer to superfoods as “yuck!” There are variant spellings. I read…

We Juggled on Our Anniversary!
Guess what we did on our anniversary yesterday? We juggled! We got another set of 3 glow balls so we could try the 2-person 6 ball pass juggling trick. The glow balls are plastic and filled with plastic pellets. They are uniform in size and weight and have 20 different colored light modes and patterns.…

Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary!
It was 46 years ago today Sena and I were married at the Little Brown Church in the Vale in Nashua, Iowa. I was a skinny guy with a big afro. She was and is a beautiful bride. We cut the wedding cake together. We fed each other big bites. It was the biggest event…

Gearing Up for Juggling!
Well, Sena and I have been practicing the 2-person 6 ball pass juggling trick. It’s a trick just to get synchronized. Timing is everything—and so is aim. Sena and I both have a tendency to throw balls too high, too low, high and outside, etc. It’s Sena’s low line drive pitch I’m worried about mainly.…

Darned Rhinorrhea Interrupting People
I’ve been having a runny nose recently that is intermittent and often related to eating hot foods. I have to get up from the dinner table and blow my nose, especially if we’re having hot soups or chili. I’ve been making fun of it, saying it’s caused by the nasal hair condensation index. You could…
