today

Remember Red Foxx the comedian.

The TV show that made him famous was Sanford and Son. Sanford was his original last name, by the way.

Anyway every time Red would get a hang nail he would expect that this was the beginning of “The Big One.”

I am beginning to understand old Red better. Then I realize that he was younger than I am when he died.

It is not too often that I read the obituaries in the paper, but when I do, it seems that most of those who are honored are younger than I, some a LOT younger.

But there is this guy from Arizona who thinks he can lead the world for a while and he is older than I. Ok, not by much, but by a little. I am having trouble keeping track of the cooking gear that my wonderful little Alzheimer's wife “puts away” and no one can find again.

But today is a new day, the first day of summer, officially. And, just to celebrate, today’s temp is to be 95. Hottest day of the year by a hunk.

I am not sure that “all is well”, but it sure could be worse.

Ask Red.
