back from the dead

I'm BAAAAACK! I just burned out on politics and the so-called "war" that I had nothing left to say on the subjects. I've found if you have nothing to say, don't say anything. So I took some time off. Nobody wants to read my rants anyway, so why bother.

So I've made a decision. I'm going to start this blog again, but with much less emphasis on politics and more on other stuff, like my life in general - kind of an online journal. Once again, nobody will much care but I don't care if they don't care - so there!

Last weekend I traveled to Detroit to see the Tigers play in Comerica Park. I used to get down to old Tiger Stadium back in the 80s but have never seen the new ballpark. The Tigers had just returned from the Twin Cities where they swept the Twins and were leading the American Central division. They hosted the KC Royals who live in the basement. So how did the game come out? The Royals stomped the Tigers 10-2. How embarrassing! Kenny Rogers pitched batting practice for KC and the Tigers couldn't hit their pitching. Oh well, it was fun anyway. I stayed at the Marriott in the Renaissance Center. It was a good trip.

I stopped on the way back to visit some family and that was good also. I stayed a night with my sister Carolyn and her man Ed and took them and other sister Marilyn and Skip out to breakfast on Sunday morning before returning home and picking up the dogs from the vets. Both dogs were groomed and they look and smell a lot better!

The summer has been good. I've not really done much, just stayed around home and hung out. I've decided not to return to my library job in September. I like being retired. I'll still do the occasional computer job, but I'm not looking for any more work. I'll be 65 this year and it's time to sit back and enjoy the rest of my life.
