RANDOM THOUGHTS

TO MY ALASKA READERS - both of you
I may not make a film, but I’m getting close to a book. I would need to develop a plot and tie it all together, but the drama and conflict is there. On the other hand, I doubt I have the discipline to write a book even if I have most of the content. Thanks for the gift(s). How’s that for a personal expression.

DEVELOPMENTS WITH OLIVIA
Olivia has started a rumor that Chas spoke to her last night. I hear it very round about and was concerned that it might be true so went directly to Chas to ask. He was in his apartment all night. No one that I know of actually saw them talking, and I got it third hand (you can’t trust stuff like that). I wanted to make sure he got that info in his book.

MY GRANDSON
I loved being with my grand kids for both Christmas even and Christmas. Out time for gifts were exchanged Christmas day. I had given my grandson a pocketknife for his birthday last year and the bland broke off. It was one of those cheap knifes sent to me by a promo company that wanted me to buy 500 or so. That was when I had my graphic business. I still have pens with antiquated info on it. This time he got a genuine Swiss Army knife I picked up in Switzerland a few years back. When he opened it his mother immediately told him to be careful. He assured her that he knew how to handle a knife. He immediately opened it up and swished it around like a sword stabbing into the air. Yeah! He really knows how to handle a knife. I’m going into hiding.

ROBE
I love my new comfy robe and slippers. I wrap myself in the each night to watch my last few moments of TV. It feels so good. The last robe I owned was terrycloth. Yuck. I don’t know what this material is but I feel snug as a bug in a rug. How do you like that for a cleaver line?

NEW YEARS EVE
We have a New Years Eve party in our building every year. We do invite a few people from the other building. I stay out of it. It’s Maria’s thing. We have about 30 people. It starts at 6:00 and she tried to get everyone to stay until midnight. Tough to do! Six hours of eating is a long time. It’s not very lone of you’re drinking, I guess. Tomorrow is the big night. I got to decide what to make and bring. Chips seem too rinky-dink.

CAMERAS
My 35mm camera gave up the ghost on Christmas say. I liked the camera a lot, but the automatic focus no longer worked and my eyes are not focusing like they once did. So there were times I thought it was focused and I was wrong. This time the shutter locked closed. I may be no big deal, but I still decided not to have it fixed. It’s time to go Digital. It would save me money and time.

This was just random thoughts. Trying to tie up loose ends before the year is gone and I cannot longer remember the past. Best wishes for a great new year. Things can only get worse or get better, so you have a 50% chance of being right in your dreams.
