When I was at a doctor's appointment this morning, I noticed that the magazine rack in the waiting room was 100% empty and there were no magazines out on the tables. Looking around, every single person waiting (except me) was staring at their smart phone. Having a pile of magazines to entertain waiting patients is apparently now obsolete.
Someone had better warn those damn kids that there's gonna be hell to pay on my lawn if the public library doesn't have the regional daily newspapers to read for free when I finally reach retirement age.....

My book shelves are full, so I read Nook Books. I always have 1 or 2 or 3 going on my iPad. Keeps my so-called brain limber. Heh!

I remember the 8” floppy from the IBM 3174 controller in my IBM mainframe days. I remember having to eject the floppy, power off, back on and re-insert to recover when they locked up - they contained the microcode, and we used to get new versions with updates on from IBM - those were the days!

...when you finally get outside for a measly 15 mile ride and then pay for it later by having to fight dual hammy cramps in the middle of the night. Yeow.

When I was at an appointment a week ago, the doctor noticed an involuntary movement in my left hand when holding my phone. After a few questions, it was "here, take these pills" to cure it.
Ever since I was sent home from the hospital with a 24/7 IV infusion that was only approved to ease a terminal patient's suffering and didn't know it for two years, I have made it a policy to read the medical equivalent of an MSDS to see what each new prescription does and what the risks are. The sheet and online info for "these pills" says that the first week on this medication is a rough ride, and begs the patient to push through the unpleasant side effects. Anyway, "these pills" must have been the work of Timothy Leary. Every time that I close my eyes (wide awake), I see all kinds of interesting scenes. A dozen extension ladders being raised, wrapping paper pastel balloons popping, a gothic cathedral interior, etc. First time in my life that I feel the need to ask Alice, because the white knight is definitely talking backwards! The prescribed dose is one pill twice a day, and stopped the involuntary movement after one day. It also seems to have helped re-calibrate my internal gyro, which has been out of whack since my last hospital stay and makes me scared to do things like try to ride a bicycle. Unfortunately, it also gives me a SPLITTING, five alarm headache that not even five aspirin (that I shouldn't be taking) will squash. I have cut back to one dose in the morning since the weekend, and the headache seems to be manageable today for the first time with "only" four aspirin. If you'll excuse me, there's a white rabbit on my lawn that needs chasing.....

Usually, I would say the same thing. These new pills seem to be helping my internal gyro get back into alignment, so I'm going to push through the pain and marauding gargoyles with the hopes that I will once again be able to walk in a straight line, ride a bicycle, and maybe even get back into the race car for one last drive before my DW turns it into a living room ornament.....

Is that Kookie (Ed Byrnes) 77 Sunset Strip? I never missed an episode of that show, and started using Brylcreem because the girls "will love to run their fingers through your hair". I must have been doing it wrong though. Sigh.
