I don’t get much exercise. By that, I mean I don’t participate in any regular, repetitive actions where the primary purpose is to move muscles and blood. My physical activity tends to come from whatever project has caught my attention, whether from necessity or for amusement, usually the latter. Being the kind of obsessive personality I am, I tend to go at things all or nothing, so when I’m active, I tend to be very active. Of course, when I’m not active, I sit a lot. So, I figure if I physically work hard two months and sit around the next two months, I’m doing all right on average. Right?

Debbe, please pardon me. I hope I had left enough space so as not to appear to be interrupting, or colloquially to be ‘sitting on’ your posts. I enjoy your bubbly nature, even though I may not follow all of your links, due to concerns over data expensive videos. I like the descriptions and responses very much though.
Packing sailing books up to donate. In good boxes. Good night. Love to all.
domaucan1, a belated thought, I did not ask before holding you out as an example. That was possibly impolite, on a strictly personal level. And so on that level I apologize. This is a public facing forum and so each of us, with every push of the [submit comment] button, become published. The audience may be small, but the concept is the same.
One of you has commented to me privately about the current resurgence. I am carefully [as I wrote above, ‘Once bitten, twice shy.’] considering a relatively short, direct [as in, ‘Morphy: . . ..”], but would first be interested in what others have to say.
Peace [to all of you, meant sincerely],
oooh, I’ve never been a resurgence! exciting! so foreboding!
emb, could you really just respond as if i exist in the same physical plane as you?
What a nuisance. Who cares about his impossible-to-figure-out opinions. I wish he would pack up and leave.
Morphy. I am puzzled. Why do you choose to be so provocative? I like the peaceful atmosphere of this site. There are plenty of others where people get into rousing discussions. Wouldn’t one of them suit you better?
Laura, you are so tactful and kind. I should try to be more like you.
Thank you, Laura. I have to agree, Morphy, that I find you being provocative. It seems to me that emb has been very careful to not be provocative, which you also seem to object to. If you feel it necessary to argue with him, I believe several of us here would prefer that you find another forum in which to do so. Thank you.
Laura, thank you for the thoughtful question. I will try and be shorter.
I enjoy the site for J.J.’s work. Read 5:09pm 19Apr2017.
I withheld posting for a lengthy period due to personal attack received.
I rejoined a couple of days ago hoping to help Gary make his joke more clear. And later spoke more on all of your question with Mark later on. And have enjoyed several lighthearted exchanges since.
My two lengthy opinions on separate days were attempts to be very clear on how I felt and thought on the subjects described. If you are still puzzled, then I fear additional effort on my part may only make matters worse.

I have other things to tend to now, so shall hold my suspense until tomorrow.
Sorry, Nancy, passed in the posting. I value your opinion, and will see more tomorrow, I am sure. Thank you, for taking the time.
I turned 64 yesterday, which astounds me since I “died” in 2009 when my heart unexpectedly went into fibrillation. The timing, location, and people on the scene came together to get my heart beating again. Every day since then has been a gift.
The biggest thing I’ve learned since then is that most of what we think is important at a given moment really isn’t when weighed against the really important things that last a lifetime (or longer!). Because my heart issues wiped out my savings (I was unemployed with no insurance at that time because of other health issues) I will die with no money. However, I believe I will die a rich man because I have friends who truly care about me.
That’s why I’ve made a point, these past few years, to avoid getting worked up over comments on the ‘net. I’m not perfect about it yet, but my life is both simpler and more peaceful than it once was. It’s easier to have friends and peace in your life when you don’t drive them away by whinging over every little thing that someone has said or implied about you.
TruckerRon. I agree completely. I try to stay stress free. It’s not always easy ,but my blood pressure goes sky high when I stress out. I have afib. and worry about doing what happened to you. I am so glad that you recovered.

The white bird is still in the neighborhood. Was 80′ away but when I went to get
Bushnell’s, car wizzed by and startled it. Later was closer but kept its back to me.
Still think it is Robin – from what I could see no color anywhere. At same time
a pair of males were bumping chests and smacking wings. That went on for almost 2
minutes. Half dozen Robins were in 40′ radius.
Will keep trying to see more.

Laura, you are much too kind, hon…..wish I could be….not!
Morphy, do me a favor and ‘morph’ out of here. I actually started reading your first post, then I thought “why am I reading this dribbe”? I for one do not believe you have any right to attack Emb….
Please go away!!

Slightly depressing thought for the day: The older we grow, the more of our memories that end with “I never saw him again.”

A man of few words is a blessing; a woman of few words is a miracle.
Oh my, I got a good laugh from today’s A&J. It starts out so sweet and then hits you with the punchline.
TruckerRon, Happy Belated Birthday

Guess those young hippos on shore are safe, considering size of their elders’ teeth.
Peace,
When it’s that foggy, guess the pigeon-hunting is not good. Peace,

Listen to Donald Sutherland.
Got a heavy thunderstorm going this morning ahead of a cold front moving in. High tomorrow only supposed to be in the upper 50’s. Who turned the thermostat back to March?
Happy today, Trucker Ron!!!!!
And everyone else, too.
TOday’s was really good, Jimmy. 🙂
JJ: the great blue heron was an especially nice, and well-drawn, touch.
