I don't think I do a lot of normal stuff
I don't mean like washing under my arms and around the back of my neck....but normal stuff millions of Americans do.
I don't watch news on tv unless I can get a Chicago station like WGN. That means I don't watch Fox, CNBC, CNN or any of the other capital letter abbreviations. I don't like the way they do the news.
I don't watch Jon Stewart, even though I think he is pretty funny. Same with Fallon. I watched the first two weeks, then stopped.
I can't explain why.
I don't go to movies. Yes, there are shows I would love to see. I just don't go.
I always get into conversations with people who start with, "Did you see that special CNBC did on vampire ants?" And I have to admit I did not. I can not lie, because I don't know anything about blood sucking ants, except we elect them to office and can't seem to get them out.
I don't go to plays. Once in a while we splurge and go into Chicago for a big production show, but there are hundreds of playhouses in the northern Illinois area and I just don't go. I am in theater productions, but I don't venture out of my comfort zone to see what else people are doing in theater.
I recently started going to Jimmy Buffet concerts, but I wouldn't even have gone if Carrie hadn't told me it would be fun, plus they needed someone with a van to drive. I am going to my fourth Buffet show this August. And I did go to see Chuck Berry. But that's it. I don't even make it to the band concerts in Rochelle and they are free.
I don't think I am normal.
I have the last Downton Abbey episode taped, but it ran in April and I still have not watched it. And I love that show.
Sometimes I can't figure out me. I ride my bike, but not a lot. I clean, I read, I practice lines....but somewhere there is a part of me that must just lose a half day here, and a half day there.
Funny, in a way. Every day I get older. Like a pound of butter, I do have an expiration date. I really should be using the time I have left in a better way.
