This cartoon is a long standing blog tradition. That really was Carlton’s ideal New Year’s Eve. And it is what we always did. It is what I’ll do tonight. Using my Kindle. And a nice cup of tea. However, I am hoping that Paul Allen will have fireworks for us tonight. Sometimes, he does. Our village is too impoverished to have our own fireworks.
Yesterday was the day that Carlton and I considered our “anniversary” – this would be 37 years. And January 5th is our 22nd wedding anniversary.
Note to Carlton: I think you are going to buy me a used long and slow lens for an anniversary present. Nevermind that you don’t believe in presents. I have been taking good care of your money, you can afford to get me a new long and fast lens. But they weigh about 6 pounds more than long and slow. As for the used – all my lenses are used. So is my body (camera and actual). And, for that matter, you were used too.
Funny, I still think of “my” money as “Carlton’s Money” and “My Money”. I pay for all my expenses out of “My Money”. “Carlton’s Money” paid my entrance fee into the old ladies asylum. It was his idea that I move there. So, it was only fair that he should pay my way in. But, I pay the monthly rent out of “My Money”. Sort of like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Enjoyed real food today. Steamed some broccoli and chicken breast. Served it with a really fine orange. Real food.
Walked my 5 miles, did some yoga, went for a little swim. Took some fish pictures with the not very good $99 camera.
