Smarty Pants

I realize that I have not waited my customary month or two. That is because I get to brag, and there is little I like better than bragging. Here goes. My oldest grandson, Blake has just been accepted on scholarship to the University of Nevada. I always knew that one of us would turn out to be smart. I'm glad it was he.

In addition, my grand daughter's birthday is coming up on the 30th of January. Ahh, there, you see, it really does feel better now. Bragging is definitely good for you.

On the down side, my wife is now a heart patient. She has had a stent installed in her. She is one unhappy little female. Of course she blames me for the stent. Never mind the fact that it has probably saved her life.

As I predicted, the furnace repair crew finished up in a couple of days. The outside temperature immediately shot up to 71. The weather gods temporarily forgot that I don't like cold weather. Now, they have regained control of their senses as the temp has dropped to about 50. I hate winter. I wish I could afford to move somewhere where there is no winter. Alas, I'm stuck in this miserable weather for at least 4 months every year.

On the sports scene, Federer has once again crushed everybody in the Australian open. That makes 10 majors. Tiger Woods has now scored his 8th PGA tour win in a row. All I can say is,"WOW"!!!

Well, I gotta go listen to Trish now. So it goes.
