E gads.....

Old.  Very.  Which, is blessed.

Here, I often write about me.  I KNOW I ain't special, it's just that, who the hell else am I gonna be able to write about?  I dunno you...  I ain'tyou...  I'm me.  A simpleton.

Nightly, prior to going to bed I text myself exactly what time it is, so, when I awaken in the morning I can ask myself...."Didya get enuff sleep??  (What's enuff?) I dunno, whadda you think?  Six? Seven?  Eight?  I always say "Six", which, means, it's fer dayum sure a nap is ahead at some point during the day.  (Victor, you nap most every day.)  True that.

So......... and no, not a needle pulling thread...  So, last night I slept 6 and 1/2 hours (Kinda sorta, included getting up at least twice for, uh huh, that... and..  at 12:16am to do Wordle. If you too are reading this I can tell you too are perty dayum bored. Sorry. Kinda.)

So........... peepers open at 2:30am.  Yes if you count backwards, I plopped in bed at 8pm.  With the exception of the two days a week I now work, I don't set an alarm.  ABC news this morning said "More Americans hit the snooze button than any other country."  Howinthehell do they know that?  Is there sucha thing as a disciplined snoozer?  "I can hit the snooze button 6 times and I won't miss work because I know, by then, I will be cognizant."   I don't see how.

Daily routine.  Victor, who askedya?

Daily routine, bite me.  First thing I do (after making coffee) is "The Daily Sudoku."  My default is The Washington Post, it's Eastern time and, folks there, I guess, don't hit the snooze button as much and, it's ready by 2:30am.  Monday is the easiest, progressing to Sunday, the hardest. (VICTOR? WHO CARES?) - I know, I'm just trying to kill time during this El Boro portion of retirement. I mean (more later about that), I mean, if most of us hit the dayum snooze button... does one think then, all us old farts are.............a) having sex... b) prepping for a marathon by running 10 miles... c) cleaning the toilet....... or, d) dusting.  Like, be for real wouldya?

So, I finish the Daily Sudoku, next up is, The Kansas City Star "E Edition" (In order...  Obits, Local Sports, National Sports... then, dependent upon my gastrointestinal distress level, local, national, World news - or not.)

E gads.

I'd gotten up TOO EARLY for the E Edition.  It said "May 19." I usually don't know the date, but, for some reason, knew that wasn't correct.

Soooooooooooooooooo, as Richard Pryor once said, "So, I said to myself......... Self"..  "Why don't you write a really STUPID, short blog, thataway, the E Edition will be ready to be read by the time you finish?"

GREAT IDEA.

Sorry to bore you......... but ty for helping me get thru this traumatic hour in wait.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, Kansas City Star E Edition for May 20, 2025 up and ready, YIPEE!

Tune in tomorrow where we'll have a serious conversation about WHICH carries more weight:

Sentences preceded by "Simon Says".......... or.......

Sentences preceded by  "I mean".

I mean, that's the plan if I wake my ass up early again tomorrow.  Simon says, have a great day.
