Trapping You Once Again

FMM: 2.5 mi

Hello, Saturday Slackers,

Just couldn't stay away, could you? You need to hear me say it one more time, don't you? OK, if you insist...Are you ready?? Here goes: Set your mousetraps! You never know where rodents are lurking. Furthermore, check all suspicious "raisins" before eating them. Don't assume your driver's seat has a back massage you didn't know about or that you suddenly got a back pain that moves around. Always have a chair ready to jump up on. Tim, stay in shape so that you can carry your Megan around when rodents appear. Keep a supply of cheese on hand at all times. Finally, get a cat and applaud her when she proudly meows at your door displays her mouse spoils. Hey, don't blame me for wasting your time; you're the one sitting there reading this drivel....We had dinner at Bewley's on Grafton last night with Jenny and Michael Keane. We had to say another sad goodbye... The girls showered, straightened/curled their hair, changed their clothes a few times, found sunglasses, cameras, money, and the phone, and finally made it out the door by 1:45, an hour earlier than they made it out yesterday. Bob and the girls are off picnicking at Stephen's Green and then visiting a few museums. I am home "packing", of course..Tonight we'll watch the US-England World Cup soccer game. We're told that the Irish will be cheering for the U.S. We'll head to a pub to watch just to be sure... Sorry no pictures. Hope to reclaim my camera from Bob one day soon. We have lost 2 camera cases in the past 2 weeks, so he is currently carrying it around in a sock and can use it as a boomerang as needed.

Slacking and yakking when I should be packing,
I remain

Am I Really This Old? (Answer Below)

FMM: 5mi

Happy Monday,

Yes, I had a nice birthday. Thanks for asking. I'm sure the rest of your cards will arrive today. My partner (no one says "husband" or "spouse" over here) was overjoyed to find soccer in a park only about a mile away. The teams were U14 & U16. The U14 team had a foul-mouthed coach who probably would have been banned for life from Cosmo Park. Soccer appears even more serious here than it is in Columbia, MO. We also got the schedule for a professional rugby team that plays nearby. So, my future is bright I guess... My partner proved that he is not in shape for the rigors of shopping as he complained of his back, legs, feet, AND knees -- not to mention his billfold -- after what I - and most of you reading this - would term a very mild shopping trip. I took the opportunity to point out what I have saved him from the past 34 years...We went out for buffalo chicken wings, French fries, beer and wine.

I'm off to inflict myself upon society for yet another year.

Answer: Yes

Aging and Raging,
I remain
