Opinion

I have enjoyed discussing my 5 a.m. appearances in the middle of Main Street almost every morning. The people who recognize me asked, “What the heck are you doing in the street so early in the morning?” One lady visiting her daughter stopped me on my way back home, and she asked if my walking was part of my regular exercise regimen. But I do not think of my early morning walks as exercise. Instead, I have convinced myself that I am casually walking a mile down Main Street.

My youngest daughter, Lanna, is very anti-social. While most people are hating this isolation COVID stuff, she is absolutely loving it. So, when we asked what she wanted to do for her birthday, it was no big surprise to us when she said she just wanted to stay in and watch movies. But, that makes it no different than any other night for her, and we wanted her birthday to be something special this year since it’s her first ‘teen’ celebration.

Well, I kind of brought this topic on myself. I was taking a shower the day before and had a great idea for my Will B. I pretty much had written the entire article in my head and was thinking, I am ahead of the game this week. I have a pretty bad memory and should have known to write some notes upon exiting the shower.
