Sometimes, but not often:

Well, I let the 25 random things virus infect me.  You may notice that mine are much shorter than Gayle’s (and those of just about everyone else on Facebook.)  To answer the question above, if I don’t have conference calls to deal with I can usually give change on those 1,000 words.  Anyone need some extras?  So, here are my 25.  Short and sweet.

1.    I’m 66 years old and still not retired.
2.    I have no idea what I would do if I were retired.
3.    I don’t remember how those years passed so quickly.
4.    I’m listening to Gayle swear at the WII.
5.    I got Crocs house shoes for Christmas and hardly ever take them off.
6.    Until recently I had more than 600 science fiction books that I had been collecting since I was 13.  I donated them to the local library.
7.    I have the two cutest dogs in the world.
8.    I have 4 kids and 12 and ½ grandchildren.  Doing my part for global warming.
9.    I love being able to work at home.
10.    I wish it were as easy to lose weight as it was to gain it.  And as enjoyable.
11.    I want to live in Paris and soon.  Then retirement will make sense.
12.    I still cannot keep a hula hoop up (WII comment)
13.    I used to be a Republican but after Ronnie Reagan I just couldn’t stand them any more.  I’m now a moderate Democrat.
14.    I love to just get in my car and drive.  Sometimes for days with no particular destination in mind.
15.    I get cold very easily.  Even here in Texas.
16.    If I had to choose another city in which to live it would be Pittsburgh.
17.    I have four older siblings, all of whom are very active.
18.    I miss Discover.
19.    As the clothing line says, Life Is Good.
20.    I hate making lists.
21.    I now have 5 computers, three of which I use fairly consistently.
22.    If Kate Winslett comes to the door and wants me to leave with her I am immediately retired and out of here.
23.    I love to build things.  Storage buildings, shelves, decks, etc and I am not for hire.
24.    I would love to go fishing with dad just one more time.
25.    I would love to pilot my plane one more time.

So, don’t let the virus get to you, unless you want to use some of my extra words.
