Update

The computer did another update this morning.  I have yet to find out what pitfalls and traps await, but I'm sure they're there, they always are.

Being Sunday, and no football games with either Steelers or Vikings, I binge-watched episodes of 'The West Wing.'  This was a series that ran from 1999 to 2006 (Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe, Allison Janney), but it could have been taken from yesterday's news, given that 'The West Wing' had Democrats in office at that time.  The corollary to my statement that change is inevitable is that 'the more things change, the more they stay the same.'  World problems twenty years ago could have been taken from today's headlines; we were fighting the same enemies then that we are now.  Missile threats were happening then, too.  There was, however, a respect and dignity that is sadly missing today.  It's an old series worth watching.

Not so long ago, Michael and I would head out the door hoping for a cool breeze on a hot day.  Now we both look for patches of sunlight to warm us, and I don't take a breather at the picnic table in the shade.  Today's chore will be to bring more firewood to the porch.  Stove always reminds me of the voracious flower in 'Little Shop Of Horrors' (1986, Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Steve Martin), bellowing, "FEED ME!"  Everything at Farview demands to be fed.

Stay safe.  Be well.
