Absolutely nothing to blog about, but here goes, just for the heck of it. Walking in the morning is great this time of the year. It makes me think of Daddy, when he said, "I'm sweating just a little bit, so I'm just right." That's how my walks are, not cool at all, but not too hot. Just right.
And I love looking at the houses around here. Some are pristine in their upkeep. Absolutely immaculate. A few - exactly the opposite. Lots show promise with renovation. Some in the process of being renovated. And I pass people who make me wonder what his or her story would be if interviewed. I'd probably rather not hear a lot of them.
Then there's that Weiner guy. Wouldn't you have to love a guy really really beyond belief to change your last name to Weiner, especially if your first name was already Uma. Something tells me Uma fell for the wrong guy. And it is fun to see Sarah Palin providing fresh material for SNL.
It's hot, hot, hot, but on the mornings Bobby plays golf, I still continue to turn off the air, if I'm at home. A chance to warm the feet and take off my sweatshirt.
Linda Jansing and I have been talking about going to a Bats game, but it's too hot to enjoy sitting there when the temp's up in the 90's. Maybe we'll do a movie and dinner instead. I've had a few pinochle "lessons" with Kathy and Jerry, and Bobby, but I'm not a natural card player. I'm learning SLOWLY. Poker seems easier to me; maybe because I played for so many years. I've never had that knack for knowing what my partner has, or the other players have, or remembering what's been played. But it's fun.
And I get to spend the afternoon with Erin and Jill. Can't beat that.

Playing cards is like anything else. The more you do it, the better you get. When your concentration is on what am I supposed to do next you can't think about what has been played. As you gain experience you begin to notice other things going on in the game. I've played a lot of cards in my life, and even if I've never played a certain game before, I've played a game similar to it, so I will catch on fast. When Mary Lynn was playing paper dolls as a little girl, I was sitting at the Poker Table playing cards with my family. I really did learn my numbers as a child from playing cards.
