I do cook a little, but might have to seek help from the poison center, if I did much. Do have some turkey day leftovers which I may try. Something about Thanksgiving leftovers that don't really appeal though. I don't do too much cooking. Wife is much better at it. Since I retired have pretty much become a house husband. Since wife still works, only fair that I do most of the housework cleaning and doing laundry, etc. Not wild about it, but do it. Gives you some appreciation for what women do. Not that I needed much, having lived with one for 40 years and having had women bosses most of the time when I worked. Amazing how much laundry 2 people have. Always thought that I would enjoy cooking, but so far have not added that to my resume.

Did all the cooking for years. With just the two of us now, we generally only cook on sats and sundays. I do not miss cooking at all.

Wife would probably agree with you on that. I think it's not only the act of doing it, but also the coming up with something that you haven't had a million times before. I guess we are lucky here in Hot Springs. Pretty small place, but not so small that we don't have lots of restaurants to choose from and some pretty good ones.

What you said is my life in a nutshell, except for the cataract part. Probably got them coming, but so far ok.

Guess, I better get up and get ready for the world. Have been typing at the computer and chasing dogs all morning. Have a "teacup" yorkie and a chocolate lab. Problem is lab can open the door from the outside and does so when she gets tired of being outside and when she does that the other dog goes outside and usually without me noticing which puts me in a panic. We supposedly have coyotes here and they like nothing better than to make a snack out of a little dog. So I spend a bit of my time chasing dogs. Neighbors probably love it, when I'm out there in my PJs with dishevelled hair chasing my dog. Not worried about the big dog. She is about 85 pounds. Coyotes might get a mean surprise, if they tried to tackle her, but I don't know, she is a very sweet dog and funny to see her and the little dog together. The tiny dog is the alpha and she gets after the big one who tolerates it very well. Kinda like a gnat after an elephant. My apologies for anecdotes from mundane life. Probably so loquacious because wife is gone.

You still have hair?...good, another thing we have in common...

No, not really about the hair. That was poetic license., but what I have was dishevelled. Which probably makes it worse for the neighbors who saw me. Also, hadn't shaved and was in flip flops. What an appealing sight all that must have been. Actually, they're probably used to it by now. Pretty common occurence around here. They're probably glad I'm not chasing them down the street which I sometimes have to do when they get out of my fenced yard.

Internet says "les Mis" coming out around Christmas time. Have to add that one to my list along with Lincoln. Anne Hathaway supposed to be terrific in it. Didn't even know she could sing. Probably should have. Some people blessed with endless talent. Saw Les Mis in Las Vegas. Really good show.
