Nothing wrong with a little eye candy, diversion from the noodle ladies, etc. No penance, not even an Our Father and three Hail Marys (You may guess rightly that I've heard THAT a time or two in my long life).<br /><br />2. No Pokemon for me. I don't begrudge others their fun but I'm so not into games. Except for bezzewizzer. With my family. I've even "outgrown" my beloved Trivial Pursuit." The brain's pistons are no longer fully charged. I used to be quite sharp but now find myself slow on the uptake. One of the downsides of senior citizenship (but there are upsides, a story for another day).<br /><br />3. Yes, we still have a landline as well as our two cell phones. We've had this phone number for over 38 years. I dread having to change my contact number. Plus, it's tied in with a package deal along with internet and cable. Hey, get rid of the phone AND the television. Now there's an idea!<br /><br />4. You're allowed to cry. It's not baseball. A temporary derailment. We all deal with them (Just look at me, back and forth on this endless journey!), suffer breakdowns, pick ourselves up and start all over again (Hey, I think there may be a decent song lyric somewhere in there). Don't worry. Even though it will take time, with Becky's help and "gentle" coaching, you will prevail and conquer that pull-up. No doubt about it.<br /><br />5. That board head-stand blew my mind. You have a habit of doing that, my friend. Keep on keeping on.<br /><br />6. We had the same vacation week. Maybe some day we'll have them in the same place, too. Insert heart emoticon here. And a hug emoticon while I'm at it. ;)Connie Ciampanelli - RIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199554842449972940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-55924442675931832342016-07-30T15:28:00.187-05:002016-07-30T15:28:00.187-05:00I am not allowing myself to download Pokemon Go.
