 |    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. |
| The Wildcard Round! This week's winner, from all eligible entries, gets a Music MB! What tunes are on your "road trip" playlist? Um, nothing, no saved, or pre-recorded music is on a playlist. At one time, I did travel with a library of cassette tapes, and there I am dating myself! Eventually, the format changed to CDs, and once again I had a favourite collection in my vehicle. When the electronic gadgets converted to teeny tiny personal devices that held hundreds of tunes, I chose to skip this technology. To this day, my cell phone remains music- free. Oh, I'm not anti-music by any means. During a road safari, I choose to be entertained by random songs presented to me via a radio DJ. So, I tune into radio stations. For years now, I have subscribed to Sirius radio. I listen and sing-along to whatever plays. No one genre, or era takes precedence. I enjoy variety. I like the spontaneity, I never know what I will hear. I also amaze myself with the melodies that I recall. So many songs evoke memories, and their lyrics remain stored in the vault of my brain until a few familiar notes release them. How does my mind correlate the words with the matching music? Last year, I discovered that Sirius had comedy channels . What? This meant I could listen to jokes, and stand-up routines instead of tunes. I love this! Even better, the comedy spans several generations. Not everyone in the family appreciates humour though, so I indulge my funny bone in private. This is fine by me. I am free to laugh out loud without judgement. I exercise my prerogative to speak to/with the various comedians; I may question an observation, I may agree, I may answer the queries, I may think aloud, whatever. Of course, I realize I am in no danger as long as I continue to understand that the radio voices cannot hear me. |
