Perhaps a Hiatus now...

Good morning.
We've been moving along, but perhaps this is the time for the hiatus. Time to move the computer. Not tomorrow, not Sunday, but some day the week following.

Just be prepared for a hiatus, okay? I am getting prepared for one.

Mentally.

This week we had a few days of warmth, the kind of autumn weather that is so different from summer in California.  It's clear, it's hot, it's dry.  It's the kind of weather that makes you want to cook dinner at noon because you surely won't want to be cooking in the evening.  It's the kind of weather that makes you  leave the windows wide open in the bedroom at night and lie on top of the covers until nearly dawn, when it finally gets cool enough for a coverlet and you snuggle down happily.  Those nights are rare enough for an oldster--  Anyway, we are expected to go back to cooler weather today and through the weekend. I just hope we keep the beautiful sun.  We've had enough gray featureless days this year to last us.

Right now we are waiting for a cable guy to come install our new television set. It's HDTV!  We'll have joined the modern age!! It's a miracle as all our other sets are the old fashioned tube in a box sort, huge sets that glower from the tops of dressers in the bedrooms. So, slowly and gradually we'll be replacing those too as they falter. The living room TV faltered in a strange way.  All of a sudden the picture  was partially occluded by a black rectangle of nothingness, like a second screen.  We tried everything we could to get rid of it but we could not.  We don't have the Capability. This is why oldsters need keepers, as in, children.  In a digital age, without them we are as helpless as babes.  I hate to even say that. Don't tell anybody, readers...YAZZYBEL
