It Was 30 Years Ago Today That Sgt Pepper Passed Away!

Posted on 7:51 AM by Unknown
When I was younger I would see "old" people with their tray of pills and vowed never to be one of THOSE kind of old people. Now that I'm nearing "old" I see that before bedtime I have my little tray of pills. Nothing dramatic, a couple pills to boost my lack of GOOD cholesterol and one pill to raise (or lower) my triglycerides and an aspirin and then I see I have a Vitimin E and if I remember I take a Ginko for my memory . . . if I remember.

I think that once you hit a certain age you realize that if you have not been killed by a bone head blunder YET - it's only a matter of time. BUT - why risk dieing of natural causes (which would be SOOO boring).

This is also why my little cubical at work is now full of bubble warp. Some people think it's just leftover from hanging my artwork on the 7th floor but in reality - it's going to save my life when Scott Walker or Governor elect (although he believes he is already our Governor) car bombs our building to get rid of his State employees who are the cause of the budget deficit.

I will be protected by huge quantities of bubble wrap.

Although I will need massive skin graphs as the plastic will melt to my body but after a year of intense pain I'll be back at my gray desk and gray chair living the dream of a being a civil servant.

I hope it happens soon as I have an early retirement coming up in late March.
-----------------------------------------

Do you remember where you were when John Lennon was gunned down 30 years ago today? There are a few dates I remember from the past. JFK's death I was cleaning erasers in school at lunch time (I had been naughty and put a box over a door so when the teacher walked in the box fall on her - but it was not the teacher that walked in it was the Principle which was funny for only a few seconds).

I remember Princess Di's death (which was odd because I really had zero reason to care at the time). I remember JFK Junior (what was his real name anyway) dieing in a plane crash because he interrupted the British Open.

I remember the Space Shuttle Exploding because I was cheating taking  an Accounting test at the time.

Man that Ginko is really working!
----------------------------------------------------------

It was one year ago today when I did not come to work because of copious amounts of snow (13.5 inches). 

At least it felt warm yesterday wit ha high of 23 I believe.  Next week we will have highs near 5F above (at least it's ABOVE).    Couple inches of snow tomorrow late.

------------------------------------------------------------

Work  . . . . . . . . hmmmm . . . .maybe the Ginko is NOT working.  I typed "work" and went for coffee!!  Not a clue what that thought linewas - perhaps it was telling me to GET TO WORK!!

Cheers!

OH - BTW - I ordered a  A 13 shot venti soy hazelnut vanilla cinnamon white mocha with extra white mocha and caramel.  Only cost $13.76.  Tastes like I only got 12 shots though. What a rip off!

 MAN I'M WIRED!!!
