If Joan Rivers can write a book called, "I hate everyone...starting with me", why didn't I think of that? I am always getting these memoir/essay books by "funny" people. Sometimes they are disappointing, but I continue to seek them out.
Here are some quotes I just copied off of Amazon relating to this book. (I hope that is not illegal...)

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1850

“How do I hate thee? How much time do you have?”
—Joan Rivers, today, about two-ish

Sea Isle City Library review:
Pros:
- New, within the year
- Just a few blocks from entrance to Sea Isle City
- Outdoor deck with tables and chairs overlooking the intercoastal waterway bordered by houses and marshes
- 1/2 hour computer use is renewable as long as there is no demand
Cons:
- tiny little cubicle for computer use with barely enough room for a mouse on one side and maybe a slice of bread on the other side. Totally inadequate for MY needs. I like to SPREAD OUT. My calendar alone is much larger than a slice of bread! Plus I have FOLDERS...and CLIPBOARDS...

Thinking about exercise. I am a total wuss. The most I can hope for presently is to do 2 sessions a day. I'll be satisfied with two 10 minute sessions.

Today I did yoga, really easy yoga. Even yoga I have trouble with. When they say, "And now bend forward" my body won't even go anywhere. And I don't find the "Child's pose" relaxing like we are meant to. I have trouble getting into the position.

I do like swimming. Because I do not like to sweat at all. With swimming you are not even aware that you are sweating. The good thing about retirement (I know I keep mentioning that) is that you can go to the pool during the day and to the beach during the week.

- Have been paying $26.66 a month to belong to a health club that I haven't been going to ever since foot injury several years ago. But I CAN go, anytime I want to I can walk right in. I like that feeling.
- Downhill skis in attic
- Roller blades somewhere in garage
- Bike in garage but the tires have turned to dust and I ran into it with my car several years ago.
- Bathing suit in bathroom.
- Cross country skis in entryway
- Tennis raquet, baton and walking shoes in trunk of car
- Bag of yoga stuff in trunk of car
- Hiking boots in bedroom
