Another Month Bites The Dust

Wow! Another month has passed by already. Well, almost. Close enough. It's the hind end of January, and the times they are flying by. Before you know it, we'll be winding down 2022 and looking forward to the next New Year. Or not. Who knows what may come?

Admit it. You didn't read the title of this post...you sang it.

Anyhoo, it's Saturday night and tomorrow my son returns home from whatever escapades he's been engaged in while at his mother's house. Seems like only yesterday there were still three nights to go. Flying! I went for an early morning walk this morning out along the parkway, in the bitter cold. But the sun was rising and it was quite picturesque. Hence...this picture. 

I went shopping afterwards, to Target and Dollar Tree and Big 5. And I went for a bike ride out around the North Natomas Regional Park. I went to Chili's for some drinks and food and lively banter with the bartender. And I watched Dear Evan Hansen - the movie - this afternoon. All in all, a busy and fulfilling day. As Saturdays go.

I figure, I should get out and about as much as I can - while I still can. I mean, come on, I'm not in my twenties anymore. I'm getting old! Slowing down. Who knows how long I'll still be fit enough to do these sorts of things? And of course, no one wants to reach reach the twilight years of their life and look back and wish you had done more. Though I'm sure pretty much everyone does. There's never enough time, it seems, and always so much to do, to see, to learn, to experience. Does anyone ever finish? Seems doubtful. If so, they would certainly be one content human being.

How much more do I have to do? Maybe I should make a list. A...bucket list??

Or, I can sit here clickety clacking on the computer and recording my thoughts for all eternity. Well, at least until someone in charge realize this Blogger thing isn't all that anyway.  But for now, it's good, it's good. I'd like to say, this past month, that I read some more and expanded my horizons. Nope. I did, however, take an overnight trip to San Francisco last weekend. First overnight trip anywhere since this whole Covid business started. Progress? I suppose. I did eat at places I had never been before, drank at bars I had never frequented before. Chatted up a cute bartender. So. There's that.

In any case, one month of 2022 is down. Next week we start February. Oh and also the second week of classes at Sac State. Not that you'd know from being there, since most everything was made virtual for the first two weeks. Hello, Covid surge! But I guess, at the end of the January was a pretty decent month. Well, it has to be - I can't very well go back and do it over! It's done. Next!
