Word of the Day

Fractitioner - An orthopedist, a bone doctor.

HTP and I are going out to eat tonight. We've been invited to a dinner hosted by Sam's Town Casino. No gambling tonight though. We've been invited to these events in the past and it's always been fun. Hey! Free food and drinks and we don't even have to avoid costly gambling machines. Tonight's dinner is being held at a local steak place. It sounded a bit fancy to HTP and me. We were afraid we'd have to dust off our best bib and tucker. I called the place, Donavon's Steak and Chop, and found out that we only need to wear business casual...whatever that means. What business? Some businesses are more casual than others. Oh well. I told HTP that he should wear a nice shirt and tie. I'm going to wear dress pants and a nice sweater twin set. Good enough. I doubt that we'll be kicked out. Cocktail hour is at 7:30 PM followed by dinner at 8 PM.

I was going to decorate the house today for Halloween but it's kind of hard to get in the mood. We live in an active adult community. No kids allowed. No need to even buy candy to hand out because no-one will be ringing our doorbell. Sigh. I love Halloween candy. Pout. And I don't even have an excuse to buy it now...or sneak some for myself. Maybe I'll see if next year we can propose a new Halloween idea for our neighborhood. I think all us old folks should dress up in costume and go trick-o-treating within our active adult community. Sounds like an absolute blast. I'd even agree to hand out some of that sugarfree stuff for those who are on special diets. Actually, I think there might be a Harvest Dance at the clubhouse this weekend. It's not the same. Besides, I doubt I'd be able to drag HTP over there. All that kicking and screaming tends to discourage any such effort on my part.

Sixth Law of Procrastination

Procrastination may eliminate the job if the need passes before the job can be done.
