Homework

Today, Friday, I’m making progress on my latest to-do lists. Not that you knew about them, or should care. Nonetheless, this is the only new post you’ll receive from me today.

I can, however, highly recommend any of my 533 earlier posts, most notably the Just for Fun posts. You can find them by clicking on Just for Fun, (located next to Filed Under:) or further down in Categories (click on Select Category). No, this is not a homework assignment for you. I’m doing the homework. You’re doing whatever you’re doing.

Happy Friday!

It was November, and most of the plants were marked down because they were making room for Christmas trees.

Mary got hung up looking at wreathes and other boring items, so I cruised my wheelchair over to go look at trees. As it turned out, there were not many trees left, and I didn’t see anything I was interested in. Just when I was…
