I went on to Plaxo this afternoon to send an e-card for a friend's birthday, and was amazed to see that Plaxo had every one of my blogs, the first of which was August 8, 2007. That date will soon come up and so far I've written 246 blogs to educate and entertain--not only those who read them, but also myself. For some subjects I have to do a little research. For those who don't know what Plaxo is, I can't explain it. I don't even know how I got it. I suppose if you go to Google and type in "Plaxo" you can get it. They have some cool e-cards for all occasions.
Rho went to play cards this afternoon, and I went to an "Arcade" in the Kings Point shopping plaza. They have slot machines that pay off in coupons for various stores like Walmart, Home Depot, etc. The machines are nothing Vegas-like, but after awhile you can figure out what wins and what loses...mostly loses. These "Arcades" are springing up like 7th year locusts all over strip malls here in Florida. What they primarily do is suck up the social security checks of seniors who have nothing else to do but gamble on these slots. One of the perks of spending time in these Arcades (certainly not Casinos) is that they have free food and beverages for players who want to "nosh." If you don't want to play, there is an area with comfortable chairs in front of a large TV. Just go in, sit on a chair or the couch and watch TV. You cannot lose with that option.
Got an invitation today to the the 50th Reunion of the class of '58 at North Shore HS. That was the first graduating class in that new school. I first taught those kids when they were in the ninth grade at Sea Cliff HS...and then I had them each of the next three years. I suppose they are all in their 60s by now and I surely would not recognize most of them if I attend the affair. Unfortunately, I will not be able to go on September 12th because we are going to New Jersey just a few days later. If I were to go, those 60 year olds would climb all over me. Well, those are the breaks.
