Top Ten Ways Jimmy Spends His Days
After meeting many of our neighbors, we discovered that our block is mainly inhabited by retired military personnel. House placards hail names beginning with Major, Colonel, Captain and the like. What this really means is that I've joined the ranks of men that basically sit around all day and reminisce about the glory days. As there's no one to reminisce with, I've had to find other ways to occupy my time at
N 30 deg 42.957'
E 076 deg 45.608'
10. One word - SUDOKU.
9. Build up resistance to heat by NOT turning the air conditioner on. Sweat profusely even in the shower.
8. Walk to the market and buy packaged food that in my previous life would have chastised others for eating.
7. Read. The Bible, Bhagavad Gita, Ghandi's writings and a children's pictorial history of India.
6. Walk to the market again. I drank all the yummy juice in my sweat conditioning.
5. Check the e-mail and blog site every 17 minutes to see if anyone has written anything to us. Not that I'm desperate or anything.
4. Think up names for our 2 pigeons. "Ethel and Wilbur...Patsy and Rufus...Stupid bird #1 and Stupid bird #2..."
3. Take photos and video footage of our neighborhood for the upcoming blockbuster hit "A Day In Sector 34-C" Avoid any actual editing and conceptualize. Yeah...conceptualize.
2. Help Indiana Jones find all the ancient artifacts in his hunt for the Emperor's Tomb on our computer game. Avoid Nazis at all cost.
1. Rack my brain about good blog ideas. Fail. Settle for top 10 list.
Actually I'm quite engaged all day long. Between keeping the apartment tidy, fixing Jen's lunch, figuring out ways to volunteer, playing guitar and the rest, it's a good life in Sector 34-C.

Angie is right. You should become a writer while you are over there ... maybe a book...then you would be famous and I could be the mom of another famous Bradbury author. As far as naming the animals ...I like the Stupid Birds 1&2. HAPPY BIRTHDAY on September 10th. Wow Jimmy, you are catching up with me fast.

I'll have to agree with Angie ~ you should write for a living.....but then again, that would take all the joy and fun out of it. :) We vote for Stupid Bird #1 & #2 also. Sawyer's still working on the names...he did want to name the monkey (of all things ~ the one that you only saw once) Fransuea. Go figure. Check our blog, it has some pix on it ~ mom's too. Love you, Monica
