1.) I guess am settling into being 60 now. I actually piped up and asked for the Senior Discount at Walgreens yesterday - 10% off every Tuesday!
2.) We went to see American Hustle last Saturday - what a powerhouse cast of amazing actors. It was second only to Blue Jasmine on my movie list for the year. We also saw Inside Llewyn Davis a week or so ago - a bit slow moving but the music was great. Tom wants to see Nebraska this weekend - anyone seen that one?
3.) Having 10 days off work was great and really made me look forward to having every day off work...
4.) We took our new bike rack out for the first time last weekend - we drove to Martinez and then rode our bikes over the Benicia Bridge, all around the downtown and marina and then back to Martinez. It was about 22 miles altogether. It was another amazingly warm winter day - we don't know how much longer this weather is going to hold but plan to take advantage of it while it is here.
5.) Finished our book club selection Cukoo's Calling, which was very good and dove right into The Goldfinch which is sooo excellent. I have read one good book after another this past year. So satisfying.
6.) One of the owners of the company I work for had a hissy fit a few months ago when the flu started going around and made a big deal about everyone getting a flu shot. She quizzed everyone for weeks about getting the shots and freaked out when I was stuffed up even when I assured her it was just allergies.
This week she came into work sick as I have ever seen anyone. We were all just cringing and practically bathing in hand sanitizer. Her daughter is our office manager and kept telling her to go in her office, close the door and keep away from everyone but she just kept dragging people in there or walking around touching the door handles, the printer and the schedule book which is kept on my desk. We sanitized everything in her wake.
Now we are all watching each other for signs that we caught her bug (it appears it might have been H1N1 and she finally got drugs from her doctor) - so far I think we dodged the bullet.
This weekend will tell. Hope you all have a nice, healthy one!

I once asked about a senior discount at Kohls. The cashier said sure. I asked if she needed to see my id and she asked me: Would you ask for a sr. discount if you WEREN'T a senior? You would WANT to be considered a senior?
Nope, I wouldn't!
I am intrigued by the idea of the little motor for a bicycle.....
All my students and coworkers have had the crud--so far I have escaped it and would like to keep it that way.
