99 problems

99 problems and the Manwich ain't one...just one of the many funny take-off lines by Stephen Colbert in his new book, America again : re-becoming the greatness we never weren't. ( In case you missed it, Jay-Z has a song, I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.)  Colbert includes essays on food, energy, health care and more.  An interesting gimmick for the audiobook is that he pretends to be sitting around with an audiocassette player and you hear it clicking on and off as he tries to think of the next subject.  I wasn't really a Stephen Colbert fan when I started this audiobook.  Just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.  Guy on NPR rated his show number 3 on his top ten list.  By the end I was enchanted with his wordsmith abilities....inventing words is one of his talents.  Too bad the audiobook was so SHORT.  I know the BOOK included 3 D glasses (my nephew asked for it for Christmas and I obliged).

Doctor's office was SO crowded this AM....people had to park on the road as no room in the parking lot!  I wasn't really there because I was sick.  Hope I didn't catch anything from all those people in the waiting room.  I LOVE my doctor.  Feeling nicely fortified with pills and advice.  Had a list of concerns and they all got addressed.  Then I drove down to my usual Wednesday haunt, the Cumberland County Historical Society, and THAT was crowded too.

Stopped by a bakery to get lunch and snacks.  I saw a guy who addressed me politely by name, but I am never sure WHO he is.  Either my yard guy or his brother.  He was riding a bike.  Now, I could be wrong, but he didn't seem like the kind of person who would be riding a bike for the exercise.  More like the kind of person who had lost his license or couldn't afford a car.  Is that racist?  Probably.
