My KU

I can't believe I am sitting here watching a basketball game but I wouldn't miss KU at the NCAA Championships for anything. Just like I wouldn't miss watching the Master's next week. I'm not excited just fixated. I keep missing good shots because I was setting up this blog. This is as good a place to start as any because my musings are to include my past. In this case graduation from the University of Kansas in 1965. I attended one KU basketball game during that time. I just didn't know how to get a ticket I guess. I loved it but I was so inexperienced and naive that I couldn't do something so simple. I was truly in another world. My life was pretty predictable then - eat, sleep, study, work. It lead to a career which is now for all intents and purposes over. That is a pretty profound statement - but I did say that it was about the past, present and future. Yea! A field goal and KU leads 43 to 40. It is so close. They are so good - both Memphis and KU.

I have a chore list this week and I will be checking things off every day. You can see how stimulating being retired is. Tomorrow's big event is competing in a spelling bee at the Senior Center across the street. I always wanted to be in a spelling bee. "Makela and the Bee" inspired me. I watched it while in Panama visiting my sister. Now I have to put my money where my mouth is. Then the list includes buying a new shower curtain, paper towels and potting soil. I have coupons and am trying to take advantage of discounts when they are available. I need a clear shower curtain as my tub enclosure and shower are very dark - can't find the soap in there.

When I get back home I will continue to paint a cabinet for my breakfast room. I should be finished on Wednesday and then will put my breakfast room back together. May not mean much to you but it will to me. I also hope to collect all of the chain link fence parts laying around the yard and garage. I hope to find enough to either re-construct the fence myself or have someone come in to do it. It's not functional at this time.

I also want to finish digging the holes for my clothesline poles, assemble the 2X4's and 4X4's and drill the holes for all of the bolts and screw eyes. I guess I should write an article for www.eHow.com about this. I'm pretty committed to using sunshine to dry clothes whenever possible. Maybe someone else out there wants to do the same thing. I will wait for my husband to be home next Sunday to put the posts in the ground since it involves carrying 50 lb. bags of quick set concrete around. 47 to 51 - bummer. Then I will string the clotheslines. But that is on next week's list. I think this is enough for now. Have a good day, night, week.
