In Dec. 31 Issue2010...seems like an impossible number for the year we are living in. What in the devil did we just say....an impossible number for the year we are living in?
We lived most of our youth with our grandparents. Great, wonderful, honest and hardworking people. My grandfather did not have a formal education, yet, he could do absolutely anything. He was my hero and we had the hardest time to realize he was born in the 1800’s. While it actually was 1898, it was still in the 18’s and then we were half way through the 1900’s. Never gave it much concern about reaching the 2000 figure, that seemed unrealistic. Now we are looking at 2000 plus another 10.
Just wonder how we will handle breaking in the 3000 mark.

Falling Apart
There's quite an art to falling apart ....
as these years go by.
And life Doesn't begin at 40 ....
That's a Big Fat Lie!
My hair's gettin' thinner ....
my Body is Not.
The few Teeth I have ....
are beginning to Rot!
I smell of Vick's-Vapo-Rub ....
Not Chanel #5.
My new Pacemaker's all ....
that keepin' me alive!
When asked of my past ....
Every Detail I'll know.
But what was I doin' ....
just 10 minutes ago?
Well, you get the Idea ....
what More can I say?
I'm off to read the Obits ....
like I do every Day.
If my name is not there ....
I'll once again Start -
Perfecting the Art ....
Of Falling Apart!
But til' That Last Curtain ....
Decides to Fall,
I'm gonna' have ....
Myself a Ball!
