Making It Up As I Go Along #253

MONDAY...
— Training day with Megan. She’ll be fine with the job, of that there’s no doubt.
— Lots of snow today. Probably 10 cm. But it falls while I’m at work and is clearing up by the time I leave... so it’s not bad for driving.
— A few groceries end the day.

TUESDAY...
— More training with Megan. Busy day but going fine.
— Sort through some old e-mails and watch a little TV tonight.

WEDNESDAY...
— Training of Megan is going fine.
— Freezing out the last few days. Around -20 or so.
— Nick comes over after work for drinks, movies, and Chinese food. Not half bad.

THURSDAY...
— Training goes on well. Lots for Megan to take in.
— I skip squash. My neck is a bit tight and I’m tired so I aim for rest around the house instead.

FRIDAY...
— Work with Megan again. We do a meeting for an hour or so in the afternoon.
— Supper and movies with Karl tonight. Borat and Shut up and Sing are two fine movies.

SATURDAY...
— Lazy lazy day. Lots of napping. Seems like the normal thing after a week of days... Saturday I catch up on sleep.
— Cold out anyway... around -15 today.
— To Leslie’s in the evening. I’m one of 14 for Chinese food that she made (not take out). Good time... nice for a change from the norm. Still, with all the laziness, I’m home just after 10:00 and asleep for another half hour before 11:30 comes.


Hair at Thirty-Four
The longest hair upon my head
Is a surprise to balding me
It sprouts out from my poor ear
There for all to see.

On televison, the leading man
Has a head of wavy glory
But five day stubble tops my skull
And on my lobe sits hair quite sorry.

Once there were six inch hairs
They flowed as a mighty mane
But now a half inch solitaire
I pluck with a twinge of pain.

What will coming years bring?
It’s a question I now fear
For it seems quite obvious
The home of locks will be my ear.
