WEED ON AISLE 10 & OTHER INSIGNIFICANT FRIPPERIES — What’s your guess about when you’ll able to pick up your edible/chewable marijuana at Walgreens and CVS? They’ll be with the candy at check out.
FOR YOUR APPROVAL — We like to name our generations or at least give them numbers. Ex: The Greatest, The Silent, The Boomer, Gen X, Y or Z Generation. For consideration, how about we name this one The Online Generation. Need confirmation? The next time you’re stuck behind a car that doesn’t move when the light turns green, guess what the driver is doing.
THE AMAZING & SECRET GEEZER EXERCISE — Those of us with once nimble hands often tend to drop things as we ripen into super seniority.

And gay was a carefree, happy feeling with nothing to do with being in a closet. Think Gay Divorcee with Fred and Ginger.
Today gay is a sexual orientation well stitched into the fabric of our heterogeneous society and has zilch to do with closets or Fred Astaire.

HOW MANY REMOTES DO YOU HAVE? — Like most cable equipped tv homes, you may have as many as five different remotes to deal with your set. There’s the one that turns the screen on.
The one for volume only.
The one for changing channels.
And the one that controls Roku, Amazon, Neflix and the all the others.
The fifth one does something, not quite sure what, but when you touch it, it undoes the other four.
