It’s been a while since I blogged and today I’m catching up. I don’t know where this week went. I spent most of it battling snow and ice so that I could get to various appointments. This meant taking several turns as Shoveler First Class, although I do have help with our circular driveway. His name is George, not Earl. It also meant bundling and unbundling outer clothing, depending on whether I was going in or out of a store or the health club or my piano lesson.
When I wasn’t thinking about snow survival, I watched the first couple episodes of season eight of “American Idol.” Enjoyed them a lot. I watched President Bush’s farewell speech; didn’t really enjoy that so much. And I watched “Cash Cab,” that crazy show located in New York City where a cabbie offers money for right answers to trivia. None of these programs has anything in common. President Bush is not, at the moment at least, an American Idol; and the cabbie in “Cash Cab” can’t fix our economic mess, even though he brightens a passenger’s evening by not charging for the ride.
Then there was yesterday’s plane landing (Official term is “ditch.”) in the Hudson River off midtown Manhattan. No one died. And the earlier week’s bombing in Gaza. Many people died. And the cabinet hearings on Capital Hill where it looks as if all candidates will survive.
Now it’s Friday night, and I’m tired even though I hardly do as much work as so many others I know. I plan to write a couple other blogs on various recent newsworthy situations and call it a day. I’m blessed that I’m at the age I can do this. G’night.
