Old Man Advice, Saturday

Sorry , I missed Friday, seems, I may have been tired, slept for 17 hours. So Old Man is Back,

1. Streaming TV, is kinda cool. I used to pay 100plus a month, I was only watching 5 different shows. Now, I'm at 25 a month.
2. Read Duncanpup post this morning, us, older folks, need to understand. " you can pass love, through generations, as well as hate. Passing love, takes a bit more work.
3. March Madness,? Love it? Or hate it? I love it, watch the underdogs win? Makes me feel good, it's an even match, 5 on 5,, elections, should be the same.

Thanks for reading,

Koz

John Madden and whoever he was announcing with talked about it, and his co announcer said that due to it's success and popularity, the NCAA was considering a second tier March Madness with the next ranking 64 teams.

Madden said that's crazy, what are the winners going to do, jump up and down shouting "We're number 65! We're number 65! ?

We're number #######!!!!!

((Used to follow, and watch 'my' teams, but as I'm 'home alone' without 'kids,' haven't done so. Guess I'll look for the 'bracket' somewhere.))

There is a fortune made off of College Athletics, and if you could double it, they would all be in favor of it.......

Part of competing is winning and also losing........To learn how to humbly accept your win, and graciously accept your loss.

One thing I like is that some services, I'll say Apple TV as an example, let you subscribe for just 1 month. So we wait until there are 3-4 shows we want to watch on that service, subscribe for a month, watch them all, & then cancel.

Why do things have to be in order? They don't. This way you get a better perspective on things. This is what I realized when I read your post. That's why your post made me smile. You made my day.

It is your choice when you want to post #4, if ever. Whenever it comes, I am looking forward to it.

I used to think that anyone over 80 took three naps a day, started every other sentence with "Well, back when I was a boy . . . ", and had a slight hint of bourbon on their breath.



I turn 80 in a couple of months. Just waked up from my third nap, told my 16-yr-old grandson "Well, back when I was a boy we didn't have email," and now I'm sipping . . . . well, you know.
