Old Age Day by Day November 30, 2012

Last day of the month!  Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire.  And yes, I did see Jerry Lee Lewis perform in Richmond, Virginia, when I was a teenager.  I am that goofy.  I was a member of the Elvis Presley fan club, and practiced Elvis cheers with other completely idiotic young girls.  I swooned to the Everly Brothers.  I saw the Big Bopper and the Temptations and Little Stevie Wonder.  I still occasionally listen to the Shirelles.  I wish I danced more.  I always do when my granddaughter visits, but that is only every few months. 

We had a deluge last night and it's still going on.  Heavy rain, dark sky, and treachery everywhere you step.  I have my rainboots on just to come out here to my writing hut, and I'm watching carefully where I place my feet.  But part of me still has the urge to splash in puddles and act like a labrador.  Having two such dogs probably exaccerbates the tendency.  Only one of them wants to get wet, the other acts like a kitten. 

I am seeing two friends today, so I'm all set for sociability, and I will get out, Mother Nature or no.
