It’s all stuff
Note: there will be no photographs in this entry, for reasons that will soon become apparent. I decided to go for a bicycle ride this morning. Since it was chilly, I pulled on my new Spandex tights. Oh my God! One glance at the bedroom mirror and I fished out a pair of baggy shorts […]
Dropping ballast in anticipation of retirement: satellite radio. Talk about not living up to promises.
