Didn’t get to Di’s questions yesterday, so let’s do something about that.
Do you have a lot of friends or do you know a lot of people? Since retiring in 2014, I’ve lost touch with a lot of people. There was a time when I knew hundreds of people, and had a bunch of colleagues that I saw every day, but those days are over. I do have y’all, my blog buddies, and of course my best friend, Mary, and my brothers.
If you are at a party and know very few of the guests, do you mingle and introduce yourself, sit on the sidelines and people watch, or discreetly leave? I sit on the sidelines. If Mary’s with me, I latch on to her.
What is the best job you have ever had? The first five years of my 20-year job. Once the company was sold, it ceased being as much fun.
Can you swim? We haven’t seen this kid in a while…
I know I’ve told this story: When I was in high school, we had a few weeks of swimming in gym class. To put us into appropriate groups, they told us to jump into the water, swim to the other end, and swim back. I hadn’t goten more than a third of the way across the pool when they had to jump in and get me. I was put in the lowest group, affectionately called The Anchors. On the bright side, most of the other Anchors were on the football team.
That’s all for now! 23 skidoo!

I like your answers, good to have Mary to latch on to at those parties. Glad the laughing baby is back. Anchors aweigh!

Neither one of us likes going to parties any more. I don’t think she ever did. The kid was just so appropriate there….

There are so many things I wish I had learned to do back when I was young, and how to swim is one of them. Dancing is another. Ditto ice skating. And how to sing well. Sigh…

I know what you mean. When I was ten, I wanted to write commercials for TV and radio. By the time I was 18, I had forgotten all bout it. I was going to be great cartoonist, too…

I guess we should have been embarassed by it, but we thought it was funny. Here were some of the best athletes in the school (not me, obviously) who couldn’t swim. I felt a whole lot better about it.
