Happy New Year - 2017

Well!

It's 2017.  A lot has transpired between now and my last post.  So much so that I don't believe I could even try to catch up.  Suffice it so say that I'm a hell of a lot older but not any wiser.  I think once you get into your sixties, you don't acquire any more wisdom.

It's snowing outside and even with  different feeders, the cardinals are all bickering for seed while the other birds seem do just fine.  Even the woodpeckers (3 different types) don't bother each other.  They just settle in next to each other and feast on their suet.  Watching them reminds me of people.  Some folks just can't get along, they're greedy, they want it all for themselves.  Others are quite agreeable and know how to share or at least take turns.

Last year we went to Costa Rica.  First time I've ever been out of the US that wasn't affiliated with work.  We had a blast.  Manuel Antonio is a great spot on the Pacific; I highly recommend it.  I guess in 2018, we're going to Cancun with my nephews - it should be fantastic because they've been there several times and know all the ins and outs.

My little sister is dying of Frontal Temporal Dementia (FTD).  Your frontal temporal lobes of your brain just atrophy until they are gone.  There's nothing that can be done.  She's only 59.

Guess I'm done for today.
