Or, making the best of a rather sub-par camera.
I had an “all about me day” today. There are those who would say everyday in Me-Day. But, that is a whole different blog entry.
Went for my “required” 5 mile walk. Stopped off at Ross Dress For Less – and bought some silky undies. Stopped at my favorite thrift shop and got a spiffy “new” shirt for 2 bucks. Came back “home” and broke out my wetsuit – decided there was no reason to be cold when I had a perfectly fine wetsuit hanging in the closet. Went for a nice toasty warm swim.
And, I did serve Mr. C stuffing and gravy (plus spinach) for dinner. Nothing else. That polished off the stuffing. Now all I have left is gravy. I also have rice. Now, if I had fried eggs and a hamburger patty I’d have loco moco – a much loved local breakfast. That would be a bottom layer of white rice, next add a hamburger, next a fried egg or two and top with gravy. Hey, don’t knock it until you try it. But, like Spam it is best when consumed on-island.
Been thinking about where and how to spend my final years – if I out live Carlton. I need to have some general plan. Before the recent family unpleasantness, I would never have considered a “Continuing Care Community”. One of those old folks asylums where you give them a bunch of money and they “promise” to look after your sorry ass. Carlton has an insurance policy that will finance such a place for me. There is a very nice one in Honolulu. When I was a kid of 22 I used to drive by it on my way to work every day and I would say “when I get old that is where I want to be…”. There is a very well established one in Portland, Oregon. And, Oregon has that very handy “assisted suicide” law. The trick is finding one that I would want to be stuck in until the end and one that has the financing to last as long as I would.
Hey Honlulu isn’t to bad for a touristy city. I’d come visit you there.
I’ll count on that!
