My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum.
I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.

PROMPT November 9th

You are having a very realistic dream. In this dream, you are approaching a castle. What unusual reason do you have to be at this castle? What do you say to the two guards standing outside it to gain entrance?
         
         
         
         
         
         
         
Guards: "Halt! Who goes there?"
         Me: "Huh? You can see quite clearly that it's me. Let me in."
         Guards:"Do you have a castle pass?"
         Me : "What's that? Is it a ticket, or something? Did I miss the ticket agent?"
         Guards:"None shall pass."
         Me: "None like no one? I'm a somebody I assure you. Announce my presence, you'll see."
         Guards:"There's a list, a privileged list."
         Me:"Am I dreaming? I did not waltz over here for the sake of my health. I was summoned."
         Guards:"You couldn't have been. The Royal Summoner was called away."
         Me: "He spoke to me a day ago."
         Guards: "He's a mute."
         Me:"Oh, that's unfortunate. Someone requested I make an appearance. Is there a secondary Summoner? Maybe a Sub-Summoner?"
         Guards:"Well, there's Bob."
         Me:" Great, What does Bob do?"
         Guards:"Bob's a floater. I think today he's ringing the bell."
         Me: "Up in the turret? I'm here to check the bats in the belfry. Can you get in touch with him?"
         Guards:" Nope. Rapunzel's away, too."
         Me:"Rapunzel? The one with the long hair? What's she got to do with Bob?"
         Guards:" He's trapped up there. Rapunzel pulled him up."
         Me:" Do you not have a ladder? Isn't there one lying about since the last storming?"
         Guards:"Storming of this castle is prohibited. The local union frowns upon such unnecessary action. Basically, we stand here, look stern and deny entry."
         Me:"This doesn't make any sense."
         Guards:"We're just extras in your dream. We don't know what to tell you. Maybe you meant to visit another castle?"
         Me:"That could be a possibility. My vehicle needs a new windshield. Before I fell asleep I was leafing through the yellow pages of the phone book. I believe there's a Castle Auto Glass. That doesn't explain the bats though.
         Guards:" Don't make us say it lady. Your dream, your crazy thoughts. Come on, you know. Bats in the belfry?"
