"Washing Dishes" - A perspective

From time to time I will refer to something as "washing dishes" as a segue to talking about something that is commonplace and expected for/by/about adults.

I was divorced in my late 20's, and I was a new to that experience. It turns out that a lot of other people were divorcing in the late 1970's, too.

Personal Reflections from 2017



I've gained 30 pounds in those 17 months. At that time in 2015, I weighed 289 lbs. Today my weight is 318.
  • I gained 10 pounds by Thanksgiving, 2015 - 3 months.
  • I gained another 10 pounds in the next 6 month, by May, 2016.
  • My 3rd 10-pound gain took only 4 months - September 2016.
  • In the last 3 months I'm been floating above 310 and flirting with 320.
Obviously, something is not going well.

The earlier I go to bed, and the less tired I am, the more active my thoughts become!

Fun: The Traveling Ice Scraper

Anyone who has lived where frost routinely covers windshields quickly invests in a sturdy ice scraper.

When I lived in Atlanta during the 1990s, I purchased a plastic scraper that had a blue handle and a thick clear blade. There's something reassuring about having the right tool for the job.

🌝 The story begins when I moved from Atlanta to Key West in 2002...

FYI: Free College!

Any Florida resident over the age of 60 can attend a Florida state college or university tuition free!

I've done that, and I'd like to share my experience at St. Pete College...
