Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

JSS: Plants In-- Bears/Packers-- Halloween-- Burning
JSS- Just Some Stuff
1. PLANTS IN-- With the crashing temperatures and freeze warnings Friday and this weekend, I brought in the plants outside that I overwinter in the sunroom.
2. BEARS/PACKERS-- This past weekend was one of those crummy times when neither the DaBears nor Packers were on TV Sunday. In the past it was because they usually both had byes. Da Bears had a bye this week, but the Packers played Monday night. That left us with no football to watch since we only watch these two teams on TV unless we happen to be in a bar and another game is on.
3. HALLOWEEN-- I've been putting up Halloween decorations outside and inside, because you-know-what is about here. Of course, everybody knew about it as Halloween Creep set in early in September.
4. BURNING-- We can only burn leaves on weekends in October and November and what I'd like to know is why we get the worst weather those two days most every month. Last weekend was a prime example with it being too wet and windy on Saturday and way too windy, overcast and cold on Sunday.

JSS: Cousin Joe-- Clean Up-- The "Dragon Plant"
JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. COUSIN JOE-- Arrived at midnight last night on his way to South Dakota to interview for a job and will be staying here today. Good to have him come for a visit. The last time he made it "up here" was back in 1973, when he hitchhiked from North Carolina and was the only one from my side of the family, other than immediate family, to make it.
2. CLEAN UP-- Joe's coming got me to cleaning up areas that I otherwise let go, including the sunroom which very badly needed it. Another factor driving a sunroom cleanup was that it is becoming necessary to move the plants inside that summer it outside on the deck. We had a freeze forecast last night, but I don't think we got it.
3. THE "DRAGON PLANT"-- The really pressing reason for the sunroom cleanup. None of the ones I brought in yesterday would survive a freeze or frost, especially the 30 year-old "Dragon Plant" as Liz calls it. It has pointy leaves that stick her every time she walks by it.
It is huge and I have to use a cart to move it. It has outgrown the sunroom, but I can't just let it die. I sure wish I could find someone to take it.

WHICH CAME FIRST? Adhesive Postage Stamp, Ballpoint Pen, Carbon Paper, Adhesive Tape
