Let's try this again

After experiencing setbacks for several days trying to get online, I am just about convinced that I need to get the Internet at home.   Yesterday was on a faulty computer at the Cumberland County Library and was unable to get a cursor in the box to post.  Now I am lugging my laptop around and came to the PC@Nite, a new Internet cafĂ© in Millville, New Jersey.  Had a passable omelet, terrible coffee and am sitting in a rather uncomfortable chair, but at least I don't have a time limit and everything seems to be working.  Just came across their extensive list of natural juice shakes!


Thinking about some of my favorite things:
1. clouds - we have some great ones
2. a stable government - we take it for granted
3. Blurred lines, a new song by Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell

And my least favorite things:
1. trash by the side of the road - what is WRONG with the people around here?
2. humidity
3. formatting that comes upon you unexpectedly (see above)

Up too early today. I got to the arthritis exercise class by 8 AM but with no coffee or breakfast.    Couldn't wait for it to be over.  Yesterday I tried to roller skate for the first time in 20 or 30 years.  (I don't know where the time goes).  It was a disaster.  Now, that is a bit of an exaggeration.  It was a failure, not a success.  My ankle kept clicking and I felt REALLY wobbly. I had to stop after 5 minutes.   They have these new skates that are like a plastic sneaker with wheels on the bottom.  I missed the old lace up ones like the picture...  Perhaps I will just have to add roller skating to my list of things I no longer do, such as cross country skiing and downhill skiing.  I have all the equipment, but not the ANKLES.  Usually I have yoga class on Monday mornings.  Since there was no yoga I thought I would try Senior skate at the local roller skating rink.  I fell down there decades ago when a young person careened into me and I broke my wrist.  Haven't been back since.  It was a sobering experience and made me realize I am not invulnerable.
