The beginning of December brings the realization that we could be facing winter very soon. The week’s forecast looks like it will be favorable for us with just a light mention of light snow. We will live through it.
I’m back home this week and more if all goes well. I made it just in time for Thanksgiving. I was scheduled for the Friday after but it worked out all right. I’m doing therapy at Prairie Rehab at the Maple Lawn Nursing Home which is only six blocks away. And probably much closer on the calendar then I realize. So the therapy will strengthen my neck by relieving some of the stress on my shoulder muscles. It will be a long time before I will be able to play the piano.
The Winter Solstice starts December 21 and ends March 19, 2018.
All of the skeletons are coming out of the political closets. Both parties have their problems and there is no limit to the number that will be thrown under the bus.

Working as a secretary in an international airport, my sister had an office adjacent to the room where security temporarily holds suspects. One day, security officers were questioning a man when they were suddenly called away on another emergency. To the horror of my sister and her colleagues, the man was left alone in the unlocked room.
After a few minutes, the door opened and he began to walk out. Summoning up her courage, one of the secretaries barked, “Get back in there and don’t you come out until you’re told!”
The man scuttled back inside and slammed the door. When the security people returned, the women reported what had happened. Without a word, an officer walked into the room and released the very frightened telephone repairman.

What is “Consciousness”?
That annoying time between naps.

Have a good week!
