Sunday and cloudy in Ohio

Well, I had coffee and watched the morning news .... give me a minute ... my head is spinning. Guards, in white shirts, standing shoulder to shoulder around the white house, there must be an army of them, and he wasn't even there, another army of guards escorted he and family to Camp David. I would imagine that the security of the president is top priority, a perfect target for ISIS, as is New York City. I am not a big fan of the president, but his security, as our leader, should be uppermost.

There is hope, a segment on TV, Tony Bennett and Lady GaGa are singing together, and like each other. He went to see her in concert, sat in the balcony, she climbed a ladder to be close to him when singing a song for him. They have an album together. An odd couple, if there ever was one. I think, especially in my advanced age, I judge on appearance.

Fires still raging in California. Just think of all the things we CAN do, and yet, fires can rage out of control, destroying many thousands of houses and we are helpless to do anything about it. Fire, water and storms, they do what they want to do, and we stand and watch. Still things we CAN'T do.

Tomorrow, September 22, the first day of Fall. I think Fall has become my favorite season of the year. Summer is hot, buggy and, when old, all those "younger" Summer activities, trips, camping with the kids at Indian Lake, fishing at Dillon, trips to Michigan, just are not done anymore. Winter is cold and full of holidays which don't have the importance they once had, rather than celebrating then, they are times to reflect on past holidays, old memories, not making new ones. Spring, comes and goes so fast it is non existent. Cold and then all of a sudden, it's hot.

So, Fall has become my favorite .... so much to look forward to, all the holidays. We don't really get involved in them, but they are there, and so are the memories.

Happy Fall.......................
