The Castle Plan
I am so excited when I even think about castles, even more so getting to go to one. Only seen a few, but every time I love the history, the layout of the rooms, the decor, and the stories behind the people who either lived there or built the castle. I want to take a…

Leaf Theories
I am baffled by this picture as it came up when I searched for “leaf raking”. How is that raking leaves? There are two people and like 10 leaves on the ground. All of the leaves in the trees are green, so no leaves are falling. Are those really leaves? They look like cardboard spread…

Happy Feet
Thinking about feet. I am not a barefoot person, and really not even a socks or sandals person. I am comfortable wearing shoes all of the time. My feet are the first part of my body to get cold. I have had too many injuries to even consider going around without covering my feet. But…

Self-driving cars
The future is here. They are making cars that drive themselves. You can buy one. The only good news I see so far is that you still have to have a driver’s license to take it for a spin. Maybe I am too simple or old school, but I think we should just be better…

Good moods
Two questions: What puts you in a good mood and what do you do when you are in a good mood? My first thought is whistling. Yet the same two questions seem to apply there. Does whistling put people in a good mood or do they whistle when they are in a good mood? The…

Workouts? Part 2
I was going to have just enough time close to a 20 minute workout when I passed through the guard gate showing my badge to the security person there in order to proceed to the fitness facility, but one car had just passed through ahead of me. The driveway is about a half of a…

Workouts? Part 1
What constitutes a workout? Is it time related only? Is an increased heart rate a necessary part? Do you have to lift something or at least break a sweat? Just wondering because the hospital could not require a workout without specifying what one was. Perhaps we all have our own opinion of what one is.…
