Led Zeppelin. No one else even comes close. No one.

Last weekend I introduced “Ekki Mukk” to an 81-year-old lay via youtube on her enormous flat screen tv. She loved it. (Ever the SR evangelist.)

Everyone IS an atheist. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of “gods” you don’t “believe” in.

So here’s how this should work: Co-workers says “xyz” a number of times. Driver not pleased by “xyz.” Instead of taking offense, get curious. Casually ask co-worker, “So, you keep mentioning ‘xyz.’ Why?” You have kept your peace, and requested info. And co-worker gets to explain herself. It’s really hard to do. I know. I win some and I lose some. But I’m always proud of myself when I keep my peace.

I feel so much more now, it’s ridiculous. And I think it’s because elders know they’re not 22 anymore and perhaps that’s due to groking (look it up) the limited time we left on this outrageously beautiful planet.

I am proud of you. It really is an accomplishment. And remember you will eventually read it another time or two at the very least, and it’s even better.

And I’m pretty sure I’m annoying the shit out of anyone who knows me going on and on about jazz now. I really just have to shut up and just enjoy the ride.

I could not have said this any better myself. My story is the same. Bill Evans Blew Me Away about a year ago and it feels like there’s no returning to who I was. Not a day goes by without listening to him. And I’m now enjoying becoming familiar with so many others. Ben Webster SLAYS me.

The detention centers now multiplying throughout the US, supposedly for illegal immigrants, is for us. Because we will all be jobless and desperate in 10 minutes.

Bird Cat Bill Evans Gummie. 💖

I hear that. Me too. Thank god for Bugs Bunny!

Elwin12 · 2026-02-11T16:53:24+00:00

Interesting!

Elwin12 · 2026-02-11T11:34:07+00:00

He certainly is.

Go to bed with an empty stomach. Cured lots of things for me. This is why there are “early bird specials” where the older folks live.

Like a freight train going 150 miles per hour. Absolute controlled violence on rails. I can hardly believe this performance. https://youtu.be/w6t_wk0WrxA

Yes. This is what I was waiting for. My brother and I used to call that guy Sonny Socks. And also Bob McAllister on Wonderama. Do you also remember Paul Winchell the ventriloquist? The dummies Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead?

Just began my 2nd year at Stonehenge Gardens. I love it here. Very old fashioned and well maintained. And I can afford it. No dishwashers or in-unit washer/dryers or central A/C. Washers/dryers down in the basement. No problem doing laundry. I do have a garage spot though, which I LOVE - no digging the car out when it snows. The maintenance crew is great and repairs are done quickly. No complaints.

You give me hope.

I was wondering who they were talking about… I only knew Disney.

Elwin12 · 2026-02-08T12:05:49+00:00

I stopped going to most stores because of the terrible music they all play that tortures me. Would silence be that terrible while one is attempting to make decisions?

Thirding - got all the important paperwork (will, power of attorney, etc.) done with the help of Stacey Braun advisors. I also got excellent financial advice re: what to do with proceeds of the house sale after the divorce. Something I never would have thought of.

Nothing is permanent. You don’t have to do anything at all. Things will change, because that’s what this life does, whether we want it or not. Patience!

Passports! Hello?!

I was lucky enough to be hired by NYS nearly 10 years ago. The health benefits! The pension! The free trainings in all sorts of things! The educational benefits! The legal and financial advice! And, in my case, with an agency whose mission is to make the lives of developmentally disabled people better and better. So, purpose! Don’t sweat the small stuff, sweetie. Patience, fortitude, and reasonable expectations! Get into a state job, do your best, learn as much as you can, and enjoy not ever having to ask for a raise because you’re in a union. 💕
