REFLECTIONS

I have to admit it. I'm an introvert and this article explains it best. I need friends as much as anyone but I just find it difficult.  Anyway, I'm better off this way than being with people who are phony and manipulative.  Here is a copy of the article from the "Lifehack" site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/you-didnt-get-why-you-couldnt-get-along-with-introverts-before-you-read-this-youll-understand-after.html The website is on my list of interesting sites.

Have you seen this Geico TV commercial? It's silly but it still made me laugh!

At first I did not see it but just some movement from the corner of my eye.  I stopped in time before grabbing the door handle and squashing it. I quickly got my camera. My wife was putting away the dishes while watching TV.  It created a perfect background for the short movie, just like a horror movie! I did not have enough time to take sharper images but they came out better than I expected.

My son-in-law Ryan emailed me this video. Enjoy!

It was warm today, more like summer than October; perfect weather for taking down my tomato plants. This is the last "harvest" of about a dozen green and ripe tomatoes. I could not get myself to completely cut down these last two plants. They have new leaves sprouting. There won't be enough time left in the season for them to mature but at least I can watch them grow. They are still beautiful. Here's a stubborn little shoot.  He's not sure the summer is over just yet!

My daughter Laurissa and her husband Ryan came to visit us from New York. We had a great time. York has been ill but he seemed much better these past few days. He enjoyed a restful nap. Here he's looking for Ryan & Laurissa
