No... I didn't win the mega-millions lottery,,florida doesn't participate in that ,,,I did win a consolation $2 scratch off ticket ,,,(frustration has its rewards !!!)...
Kind of in a weird mood tonite ,,,it is Sat. nite and was playing some guitar earlier ,,,but for some reason could not get into it ,,some times I am there and other times I am not ,,haven't played in sometime ,,and the enthusiasm is lacking I think,,,oh well,,,
My knee which I might have mentioned before ,,,maybe not ,,,is or appears somewhat better ,,still not 100% but is gradually healing ,,,it will take sometime I think,,,I am still using a cane but less so now,,,
I watched a documentary on Charles Bukowski tonite,,,a contemperary of a lot of the writers I used to follow years back ,,,he smoked and drank to excess and lived a well not the healthiest life imaginable and made it to his mid 70's ,,,which has to say something ,,not sure what ,,,last 20 years he was an icon as far as 20th century writers are concerned,,,
I am a jag to lose some weight (again !!)..this time I am following my own cockeyed plan and so far it seems alright ,,,I feel that I have to potential however to slip and fall out which is and always has been a danger for me when I attempt to do something like this,,,my knees were the key to this particular try this time as I am carrying a bit more weight than my knees seem to allow..I am terribly disproportionally fat or obese ,,but it is enough that it seems to cause some problems,,so I am exercising and eating a modified diet ..I am about 180 at present ...5'6" (if you must know ...) my goal is to be in the 170 range or there about ,,,and TO STAY THERE with 5lbs +/-..the 180 plateau is a real hard one to break I am finding ,,,
I have come to realize that the daily routine of exercise is the key thing here..I have this SoloFlex machine that I had been using (go ahead and laugh) ..to adorn my clothes on at one point ,,,well,, I am using it for its intended purpose ,,,(bought this thing at a thrift store years ago,,and used to use it a lot ,,when I had a goodly amount of motivation,,which had waned back and forth over the years ,,)..
Been watching some old Marx brothers movies that I have ,,,the jokes are still funny though the culture they were made during has changed radically since then,,,there is no way you could get away with a lot of the stereo-typical language and behaviours that was used in the 30's today,,,,just an observation,,,
Thinking of plunking down some dollars to get an Ipad off of ebay,,if I can find a good enough deal,,probably the Ipad 1 32 or 64-G if I can find one that I can afford,,

Glad to hear you are doing better. Sorry to hear about the lottery. Did I understand you to say, Florida is not included in the lottery?
