My god, his stuff is still out there! I know I wasn’t on a cruise, but when the post mentioned Norwalk, I had to go check if the Carl Winter stuff was still around. My friend who knows about dear ol’ Vincent the Christmas Virus hitting Steve and I sent this lovely post to my …

A Quick Shmans Update
I just wanted to give a quick update on old Shmans. I got to see her in November, which was awesome. The friend who had taken Tansy for those few months before she moved to the home where she is now offered to go with me on a road trip so we could both see …
Stumbling Into 2025
I don’t think I’m quite as sad-sounding as that AI-generated guy is, but it still has a note of truth to it, and it made me giggle, so it’s the soundtrack for this post. Also, side note: Did anybody else hear that Auld Lang Syne song as a kid and think “What? Old Anxiety?” And …
I Think I Like This Version Better
Since I mentioned “Get Low”, it made me think of this parody by Young Jeffrey called “Don’t Go”, which would be me if I ever went to the club now. Well, just all the stuff about everything being too expensive and loud and gross and crowded and feeling old and stuff. Peeing by the dumpster …
Have A Holly Jolly What Now?
This “There I Ruined It” guy really has a very twisted mind. Only he could Take “Get Low” and set it to “Holly Jolly Christmas” and not only have it work, but get it stuck in my head so that when I’m doing Christmas things, I get the “Holly Jolly Christmas” tune in my head, …
Is Everything Moving On High Speed?
I think we have a new phenomenon called New Year’s Creep. It’s not just Christmas. Now people want to speed right on to the next thing. I was walking through the mall the other day, and I heard Auld Lang Syne playing! This was in November. All I could think was way to make me …
Bulldogs In The Oat Boat
A song came on the radio yesterday that made me right this down. I admit we were standing outside the kitchen and we weren’t totally paying attention, but after we heard a certain line, we had to stop and listen. “What did she say? ‘You’ll keep me warm until you’re burning my oat boat?’” Steve …
Do I Have A Mind That’s Degrading? Or Maybe Degrading?
Here is another example of Carin’s mind is screwed up. I was watching TV when a commercial came on that got the exact wrong reaction from me. It said “Do you have boxes of videos and DVD’s that are degrading?” My first thought was “Whaaaat? Nooo! Why would I have those? Gross! And even if …

The ADHD Earworm
I just heard this song from the Holderness Family a couple of days ago, and now it won’t leave me alone. It’s a good thing it’s a good song. In fact, sometimes when I get distracted by something, or forget why I came in a room, or think about things at the exact wrong time, …
Chuuuuuuuck is Retiiiiiiiring!
If you don’t know what that title said, it was my best impression of my reaction to the news that Chuck is Retiring at the end of July. When I got the email that Chuck Farrugia, my field representative for Guide Dogs for the Blind was retiring after 33 years of amazing service to all …
