Eve carries her whole life in her handbag.  I am amazed when she pulls out bandaids, alcohol wipes, benedryl, eyeglass cleaner wipes, tylenol, tweezers,  a thermometer, small screwdriver, Qtips, a small flashlight, toothpicks, dental floss and the list goes on.   She would have done really well on Let's Make a Deal.   I tease her about it  and can't imagine why she would always want to lug around so much stuff, but the bandaids have come in handy, I must admit.

Or did they...   Last Tuesday we witnessed the much anticipated launch of the iPhone 6 with bigger screens. Most people I talk to are preordering them. They even launched something unexpected...ApplePay. Now, once you've scanned your credit card into your iPhone, you'll be able to just point click and pay at participating retailes everywhere.  

I started writing this blog on Labor Day, the official start of the end of Summer blues and the unofficial end of Summer. Are my moody blues darker due to having experienced a once in a generation perfect Summer?  I don't know for sure, but my wistful earlier blog was not entitled "Endless Summer" by accident. Yeah, Fall is nice, but I have to wonder if the derivation of that season's name has anything to do with my feeling I'm about to fall into an icy abyss. Do you have a fear of Falling?

I was on line in the bagel store and noticed the fixtures in the ceiling. Video cameras in the bagel store. I wondered why. I hadn't heard of any robberies. Was the owner keeping an eye on the employees?

I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I'm mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it's reality is a nightmare itself. No one knows the pain that the media & unwanted opinions from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret everyday is a horrible thing.

Along with what seemed like a good part of the neighborhood, we had no internet service today. Let's not talk about why, and how frustrating it was. Instead, let's talk about how far we have come in a short time.

That envelope that the doctor's receptionship keeps with all the cash co-pays, and that I contribute my $30 to each visit, I wonder if the doctor just snatches that at the end of the day as he is putting on his coat and leaving the office.  That's a nice little bunch of lunch money.
