It’s not suitable Old Bat weather.

0633 am. Winter. Not OK.

One of the Asylum dogs took one look outside and declared it too chilly to participate.

I stuck my head out the door in the 14° air, confirmed that nothing had improved since yesterday, and promptly returned indoors to hibernate until spring.

I recently discovered an advantage to being old: you don’t have to get new books. You can just reread the old ones, and they’re practically brand new. I have a couple thousand Kindle and audiobooks, so I believe I am set for the foreseeable future.

This isn’t just me. Everyone at breakfast agreed—old books are new again.
