Tuesday and dinner is $3 for us old folks.

The Senior Center has a new way of paying for meals. It's a real deal if you're over 60 ... and I am ... just. $3 for the meat-and-potato crowd, carrots optional. It's $6 for everyone else which isn't bad.

Still, 4 years ago it was $4. Up 50%. My check has gone up 1.7% this year! So they say ... I have $20 more per month ... can't wait until the rent goes up ...

ME!!!!!!!!

It grey again today. I want to scream it all away. Days are getting longer for those who didn't leave, lighter too; but, I came back to shorter days shortened even more by a friggin' mountain that's in the way. And sunshine ...I basked in sunshine! I miss it.

I suspect my tan is fading by the minute.

Speaking of carrots ... I opened up the card I got from Scarlett (it arrived when I was gone). Something about the Snowman getting caught picking his nose... at the erotic vegetable section I'm sure...

In other snews: edited another November 2011 letter/prose-piece. 2 down, 39 to go.

And by-the-way, news headlines to the contrary ...I'm not running for pope.
