Old dogs have good tricks
Somewhere along the way I heard that we should not try to teach an old dog new tricks. I actually agree. Most old dogs already know enough tricks get through life. This afternoon I watch an old Cocker spaniel, a friend, clamber onto a chair with the same agility of any young child that is to say odd to watch and fun to see it realized. The dog took over her throne and stayed there for the rest of the afternoon. Like anyone I’ve heard age. We’re off to the city to pick up family at the bus station and there was only after we got to destination, they realized there had been another small dog in this rig with us. Never saw the dog but I heard rumours. That is how it goes. This was an evening in a restaurant with family. What I can tell you is that there are alternate ways to eat an oversized burger. You just have to ask. It was fun to introduce myself if you will. To discuss things that I had learned to do a long time ago and that I had almost forgotten the stories were new and I realized that I spent a long time making sure that technology arrived to where it is now. Was I a pioneer? Not exactly but I did do things that had not been done before, so I guess that counts. This blog is proof that I started something they did not give up. And now we’re back in the RV ready to sleep for another night. The airplanes have not quite finished their late-night arrivals but soon. I will probably sound asleep. We’re running on battery time right now and have no real way of knowing at what time the lights are really going to go out.
