It is Wednesday 22 Degrees Beautiful
Morning Mix Sunny and Cloudy Day
I am Working Full Time Today

 I will Take 2 Buses so I Start 5 after 9 am
I Have To Take Bus at 9.15 -- when I Stepped
Out of My Front Door It was Amazing

I Noticed Rain Just Stopped so Everything
Looking Great after Their Morning Shower
Sun also Giving It's Shine above Between Clouds

I Can Hardly see Any Bird I Think All Gone To South
If They Had a Bit of Patience and waited For a While
They Must Have Been Enjoying This
Beautiful Weather

We Still Waiting For Our October Weather
I Mean For Minus Temperatures We always
Keep in Mind That We Live in Canada so
No Surprises

I am at Kingston Road Now waiting For Bus # 900
and It Started Raining I Forgot To Take My
Umbrella There was a Girl Who Offered
Me Shelter under Her Umbrella

 I Accepted Her Offer Right away It was Heavy Rain
It Stopped after 5 Minutes and Sun was There
To Greet Me with Twinkle in It's Eye 

I Got My Bus # 900 It was Still Drizzling But
I Managed -- I Got My Lesson Next Time
Wont Leave My Umbrella Home

It is 9.30 I am Sitting in My Office Cubicle
Thinking about My Childhood Friend Who
Lives in Sydney

I Got Her Brief Message on My Face Book
I was Not Getting Her Messages For a While
I was Bit Worried about Her

At Our Age It can Be Anything She was Living
With Her Daughter Nowadays in the Middle of
Shifting Process

Changes Not Easy To Handle Specially
Shifting Your Place is very Demanding
In Our Old Age Time Period

 I am waiting For My Darts To Start at 10
After that Bowling at 1 pm -- So Much To Do
It is Like Working Full Time 
No Doubt about That

      SWS was great. We took the nature route as Smile made us look at nature differently. As usual, we talked about today's blog.

      Special toastmasters meeting was requested by the management today due to the significant interest in the topic of teenagers and family unit. Huge interest in that

    Why you care about my schedule because you don't care about me and don't write for me. I don't do anything. I only read this blog. It is my lifeline

    Dear Advisor,
    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from the walk from yesterday. Some of the retirees are still suffering from cramps also. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. The retirees instead went straight to the reading of your blog.

    The retired physical trainer and the retired professional athlete read your blog today. Though we are all aware of your physical activity but taking 2 buses in pouring rain to go to the "office" and then playing dart and bowling is something that we are still scratching our heads as to how you do it. For us we dont take buses unless it is part of mayor's Christmas light tour or some event like that

    The retired chef read your blog today about the recipe. The cafe manager wanted to join but we asked him to not do that because of his previous transgressions. We did however allowed him to listen in as he has apologized and repented. The cafe manager is already planning on adding this item to the menu. The hospital subcommittee also was pleased with the recipe. The hospital food inspector was invited to listen to the blog to help foster our relationship with tehm.. She mentioned that this will provide the patients with yet another healthy menu choice.

    thank you
    recent retiree

    This blog was very timely. It helped me in my meeting. Participants were very lethargic and complaining about everything. When they read the blog, they realized that living actively is very important. We decided to change the meeting and made it very active. That was the key. All got engaged and we ended up with a good outcome

    You continue to wow us with your versatility. Based on the depth and breadth of the topics, we are not astounded by the need for the retired ladies and gentlemen to establish various subcommittees. Prior to leading your online journals, we thought that we were somewhat literate however these dissertation put us in our place. The inordinate amount of time that we spend researching the topics that you write so fluently about tells us that we have a lot to learn. Please dont misunderstand us, we are not complaining and critiquing your work, we are merely pointing out our shortcomings.

    Aside from the potency of the material that you share, I think it will be dishonest of us not to highlight the fluency of your writings. As one of the gentlemen pointed out, you have a way with words. You can take a very complex topic and present it in such simple form, that even a layman like us can grasp its meaning. We submit your recent blogs on parenting and family unity as artifacts to support this submission.

    All in all, we appreciate you writing for us regularly and not complaining when we dullards a little slow to keep pace

    thank you for making our day so much brighter

    Dave and Linda

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
