Larry, I also am one of the "old people," and I am working towards moving closer to my two daughters (actually, step-daughters, but there is a great feeling of closeness to them); I currently live 14-15 miles from both of them.
Today, after visiting my urologist, Katie (the older daughter) and I had quite a discussion concerning my move, but did not make any definite plans. She, especially, has been quite helpful to me in many ways; not the least in providing my transportation when I have expected to have anesthesia when I have medical attention. She also makes such appointments so she will be available, and she makes the appointments with the urologist (it is easy for her to get to them since his office is in the University Hospital and she teaches and administers in the University School of Nursing) so she will be fully aware of what I will be doing with respect to my particular problem (I hope to have further surgery, but this is not certain yet).

Reminds me of my mortality.....
For years, as an EMT, I've dealt with the sick and worse. In the beginning, it was "old people" who were dying (trauma notwithstanding).
These days I respond on calls to assist those folks, and read the daily obituaries, and it dawns on me that I'm now one of those "old people."
A reminder, indeed.

Awful news last night. My college roommate died suddenly yesterday. I have little details. He and I reconnected recently after 40 years and had just got to know each other again. It was a total shock! Reminds me of my mortality.....
Otherwise, little else to report.

Good Morning
Weatherguessers have us being dull and cold today as well...we might, though, see few incidents of that weird yellow orb showing up....
I have a dang meeting to get to this morning then it i off to the mall to get some walking/snooping done...
Around these parts winter is supposed to be 'normal' for here....ie: barrels of snow and cold...

I haven't seen any long-term forecasts yet. However, there are a lot of seasonally-based businesses hoping and praying for substantial snow. One reason is to get the snow sports people out and spending money, and the other is to get water levels up next boating season. The lakes and the St Lawrence are all pretty low right now.
I've got a brand-new snowblower that needs some exercise, too....
Tree - with all the nonsense weather and especially not too far from you, any thoughts about how much snow you will have this year?
Almanac sez we will be warmer and drier than usual. Sure....now that I don't have to get out every day to go to work!

Decorations are slowly appearing around my area. I may get to mine this week. Same old same old, but they look nice.
I'm planning on getting around to doing the plywood cutouts that Dad did years ago - Santa and several of his reindeer trying to get the bag of goodies up to the roof.
Snowing here now. While I encountered some snow and slushy roads on the way home last night, it's not bad here at all. I've heard reports of 6-7 inches to the south.
The snowmobilers are getting itchy, though. They didn't see much running last year, so they'll be looking to make up for it this year.
Of course! That's why I found a french fry on the floor in a corner....Matt helped!
Good Evening
We had a bunch of runnin' 'roun' doin' stuff done this afternoon. All the Xmas shopping that needs done will wait until next weekend thanky very much like.....
We did get to our expected high today...all of 33F...yay...
Mookie: I think Joe did the decorating....

Mookie, sorry, but I didn't do the decorating in here. About all I've done is help my sis-in-law put up their Christmas tree yesterday. Didn't help decorate it, though. Just left that to her, so she could put what she wanted on it. Looks real pretty, though. It is 7 1/2 ft. tall, and she did a GREAT job decorating it, too!
I have got some ready for our supper tonight. Hope you all enjoy it. Everyone take care, have a good evening, and see you all when I can.
Somebody decorated for Xmas in here! CW? Was it you or Joe? Looks nice. And I brought in the 14 snowflakes we had this morning to help out. Well, I put them in this glass to bring in....

We are currently getting snowsqualls here...up to 20 cm(~8 inches) worth supposedly...around here one never really knows....
So, another day of the Xmas Walk is upon us, hence, I'm going into hiding in my mancave again.... We had some friends show up here yesterday in the midst of all this and Audrey kept quipping about a creature living in the basement here...
So, have a great day!!!
breakfast is ready.Juicer and coffee are ready.time for breakfast,wash up and load up and move out.Hopefully our team will handle the team from up north today.
Good Evening...or Morning...
I spent the day hiding in the mancave...with the little Spring by my side....
Today?
Same thing...in hiding....the crowds of people taking the tour seems to have grown...
And it didn't dust while it was there?
I have some apps that I use on a regular basis, and some that are all but just taking up space. A few came with the phone and I can't be bothered to try them as they don't appear to interest me.
Having a game or two available (I like Tetris and Solitaire) is handy as a time killer. I'm not a big "gamer." Some folks have some pretty sophisticated games on their devices.
I love the weather apps - especially the weather radar.
I have a "fireplace" app (displays crackling flames on screen). If I ever learn how to write apps, maybe I'll come up with one with a feather duster...
Murray - I can barely make a call on mine - yet.
Daughter was over - she has something that is not very big and evidently does everything but dust the furniture. She left it on my coffee table. Now how do I call her and tell her?
This is funny - she doesn't have a landline and reads e-mail sporadically!
Good ole Mom - can still one-up tech-savy daughter! I still have my landline! And I read my e-mail often!
Well Mookie I went out today, and I got a set of smart phones (Samgsung Galaxy III) for my wife and myself. Never had them before.
I like mine..My wife (who resists technology change) is slowly warming up to it.
