Odds and Ends…
Sis still has back pains. I guess she’s going to see her doctor Monday. Dad seems to think it started when some teenager hit her car from behind and she never went to hospital to get it checked out. It’s going to be an interesting week if she has to spend time off from work if she has to spend time in the hospital.
Still debating on which phone I should replace my old one with as a Christmas gift to myself. I’m with T-mobile so I’m stuck between two Andriod type phones.
I’m on the fence as to whether or not I should watch “The Firm” series. I loved the book. Didn’t care for the movie. I’m not a big Tom Cruise fan either. The last good movie I saw him in was “The Last Samurai”. I like John Grisham books but his movies are hit and miss.
A independent book store closed on me and my Dad didn’t tell me before it went out of buisness. I would have dropped a few dollars getting some old out of print books. Grrrrrr… Instead went to Half-Price Books. Amazon is killing these indie book stores.
Work place should be back to what passes for normal now that the holidays are over with. This years is going to be not fun with the 4th of July falling in the middle of the week. Christmas will be no fun either. Hoping to hit a state lottery between now and then so I don’t have to deal with it.
Has anybody liked the changes YouTube has done of late? I’m still getting used to it. I’m finding “new” old videos every time I go there.
The weather has been nice of late in north eastern Ohio of late. I’m waiting for winter to drop kick us back into snow. It figures after I buy some half way decent snow shovels that have that weird bent that’s supposed to be better for your back. Should have bought a snow blower.
Going to call it a night here. Going to finish a Andrew Vachss book before going to bed. Hope everyone’s week is great!

I’ve given up on the lottery. My luck isn’t that great.
Don’t know what to tell you on the phones. I really kind of like the HTC, but I’m a cheapskate, so I will continue using my old (and I do mean OLD – 9 years old!) flip phone. I think it was probably the 2nd one Samsung made, but it’s still going strong. I won’t buy another unless I’m forced to do so.
I’m reading “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” right now. I just started it, but it’s a good read. I started a Nicholas Sparks book the other day, but just couldn’t get into it, so I opted to return it and pick this up. I usually like John Grisham. Don’t know why I’ve not checked out a few of his books.
I have an iphone now, but I had (and still have) an Android as well. I’d say the Droids are just as good as the iphones. Mine is a Motorola Droid X.
I love Grisham’s books, but I didn’t watch The Firm. I wonder what kind of ratings it got??
