It's back to eating shredded wheat and fruit while channel surfing cable news. I usually end up watching the financial channels because even on a bad day the markets show more promise than current events. The world is kind of a depressing place these days.
When I was flying back from Florida the guy sitting next to me on the plane was watching a weird movie involving hidden treasure, lost sailing ships, and falling out of cargo planes. The movie seemed ridiculous but looked very expensive to produce. Who would make a movie like this? The only clue I had was that Mark Wahlberg was in it. I recognized him. It took about three minutes on Google to discover that the movie was called Uncharted and was based on a popular video game. I guess all this proves is that I have no idea what is going on in the world these days and that you can find anything on Google. I wouldn't recommend the movie.
I thought about going to the gym this morning but didn't really feel like driving. I bundled up in a warm coat and took my long walk instead. Nothing exciting to report today. I didn't see the bald eagles, but did see the resident geese and Muscovy ducks. Many of the trees have already lost their leaves. We don't get a lot of Fall color here, but some of the Oaks are developing a nice golden hue. The only construction that is still going on in the park are five stone gates. I have no idea what these gates are for.
I paid some November bills today and discovered that my travel has caught up with me. Yikes. With three recent trips to Florida along with dryer and furnace repairs, this was going to be an expensive month. It's too bad there is no demand for my services these days. I'm still a pretty good web designer, but the young ad agency types will do just about anything to avoid hiring their grandfather. Lets face it. My time has come and gone. I had a good run though. No regrets.
I need to remember that I'm having my semi-annual physical exam tomorrow. Time flies. It feels like I just had one of these exams a few weeks ago. Since I will need new blood work, I can't eat breakfast tomorrow morning. I don't like these fasting exams, but I'll just have a larger lunch. After this is over, there's only one more exam for the year. I've still got to see the eye doctor in December. I'm pretty sure he will want to do cataract surgery, but we'll deal with that when the day comes. Maybe I can avoid the surgery for one more year.
I continue to see better pictures of the Artemis launch than I took myself. Disappointing. My pictures weren't bad but there is plenty of room for improvement. It's really hard to master this strange art when I attend so few launches. Some of the good photographers go to all of them. I guess I need to save my money and start planning another trip.
