November

Saturday was nearly 70. Not quite November weather in Maine. Last Saturday was opening day for deer season and instead of being out in the balmy fall air waiting to take a life I was upstairs in bed, swishing water gently around my mouth to rinse any of the mashed potatoes or yogurt I had eaten out of the 5 sockets where once my teeth were. Gross? yes it was a bit, but the made it almost all worthwhile. Since I'm not a casual user of painkillers I can now see how some people can get hooked. I realized that while on them I could think a thought and before I could analyze the thought and convert it into speach I had already spoken it (grammar corrections welcome). Whether it was anger, kindness, a musing or what have you, out it came.
I'd like to prescribe a derivitive of this to people who like to let you guess what they're thinking and the opposite to people, like me, who usually talk without or instead of thinking. Another upside to spending a day and a half sedated in bed was watching the entire 10 hour series of the Band of Brothers DVD. I have always been fascinated by WWII and had heard great things about this series and finally had the chance to watch it. All 10 hours. If you have any interest in WWII get this series. Our library had it and I'm sure your video store does too. Disclaimer: It's very real... Especially on Hydracodone and some other .
The boys are well. The pigs are off to market on the 16th. All 250lbs of them.
Oh.... and we have another Smith on delivery for May 24th.
