When you hit middle age you really only have two choices: you can get fat and lazy until you roll over and die, or you can can get off your ass and do something, like maybe ride a bike.
Bluntness
I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.
Well, here it is, Sunday, December 31, 2017, the last day of the year, a year that was terrible for Liberals and Centrists because too many of them sat home on their duffs rather than go out and vote on November 8, 2016. They have learned that believing one candidate has a lock on the election is not an excuse to stay home. Go Vote! If you want proof, look at Alabama. Roy Moore lost by almost 22,000 votes (that's around 880 yellow school buses if you're looking for them on Google Earth). In reality, he lost by an even greater margin because another 22,800 voters wrote in someone else's name! This means almost 45,000 voted against Roy Moore! This moron didn't just lose the election, he was slaughtered. In 2018, Go Vote!
The Time as come to Take Back America!
We want to make sure that 2018 is the Happiest Year Ever for a majority of Americans.
The Time has come for us to begin planning our celebration.
Woke this AM to find that Central PA is getting some snow - the forecast was for 1 - 2 inches, but we have about that much already, so we will probably getting 3 or 4 - which is fine with me. While not for everyone, shoveling snow is 'free cardio' take advantage of it, unless you're out of shape, than shovel slowly.
The dogs have been out at least 4 times playing in it so the pristine whiteness is now splayed with footprints and pee marks.
I went to see "Jumanji" last evening - some of it was very good, some of it was... well, okay. A good word to describe it would be... uneven. For those who don't know, this is the story of 4 very different teens who get sucked into a video game where they need to learn to work as a team in order to survive. Unfortunately that only happens with two of them. Dwayne Johnson's size makes him a screen presence, however there's little chemistry between he and Karen Gillan, who seems to have been terribly miscast. Kevin Hart is funny, but doesn't seem to realize he's not the star. Jack Black, however, is hysterical as Bethany, the self-absorbed, Miss Popularity, who finds herself in the body of a middle aged chubby man. In fact, Jack Black and Nick Jonas are the only two characters in this film who develop any kind of chemistry, and are really the only reasons why you might want to see this in the theater.
That's right, you Nick Jonas fans, he turns up almost 2/3 of the way through and keeps it from becoming totally maudlin.
Plans for the day include making butternut squash soup from scratch, shoveling some snow, and putting in some time on the new bike. Oh, and maybe a nap or two.
