Handling retirement in the face of winter
Here it is the 8th of September and the weather is already fall like. We went straight from being hot to being very cool. I don't know what to think about how bad winter is going to be. I spent most of last winter in the hospital not having to face all the ice and snow Salina had. This winter we plan to just stay inside when the snow and ice come, no use taking a chance on falling. This brings me to my problem. I already get restless being in the house and just have to get out and do something, even going to Sonic during happy hour will do. What am I going to do when I can't get out for days on end? My wife can handle not going anywhere, but I don't think I can, so I have to find something besides TV and FRED to keep by occupied. Oh, FRED is Fricken Ridiculous Electronic Device IE. computer. I'm going to try reading, but the book I want, in large print, is not in the library, so I will have to wait for that. I really need to get in more exercise and will try doing more of it. But, I still need to get out among them so to speak once in awhile. Well, I know this has been a short blog, but I needed something to do. If anyone has a suggestion, let me know.

You could learn to paint, but I guess you'd need some lessons. You could buy yourself a large sketch pad and draw house plans. Just for fun, of course. I don't think you're ready for knitting, but that's always a possiblity. You could read my book or my short stories in the WOW Anthology. That might take you all winter. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.
I think you should take up crosswords or find a word puzzles. That will be a dual task. It will occupy your time, and occupy your mind. Oh yeah, it will also improve your spelling, although your blogs have looked really good!
