This morning when the five o’clock alarm chimed I was mostly awake. My hands, relatively unarthritic before summer began, ached and were stiff. My right index finger did its spring-loaded trick: it unfurls a bit, catches, and then with additional force switchblades into straightness.
I don’t want to be one of those old people who focuses on his infirmities. It will take vigilance: today I do.

Yesterday was a Life-Changer. I finally gave in to reality’s mandate and purchased a smart phone, specifically a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. I am now able to do this blog post in the comfort of my apartment, using the phone as a Wi-Fi hot spot. If not for the phone I’d be at Hideaway West, or at the Jack In The Box across the street from O’Brien’s Irish Pub, to be able to go online.

HISTORICAL NOTES: In 1999 I purchased a 1.0 megapixel camera for $400.00. Yesterday I bought a smart phone with a pair of approx. 5 megapixel cameras, and 4G LTE hotspot capability, for $49.99.
Smart phone? WTF
Will wonders ever fail
Idle chatter of the cognoscenti
Takes hop or a skip
Cause we all jump
Having been play’d
Plow a furrow through the skies
Land and taxi and eat linguini
And this marvel becomes humdrum
No more worthy of note than a good night’s sleep
Explorations turn to the metaphysical
And mere ballistics cannot compete
Pour species has taken the tendency of electrons and the combustibility of certain substances to stratospheric heights, and most of us shrug . . .
