Am I Getting Wimpy?

Am I getting wimpy in my old age?

Let us say that sixty is the new forty.

Whatever that means.

The reason I would call myself wimpy is because of the weather outside my house.

At 10:10 pm the temperature is 88 degrees
with a high of 100 degrees later this afternoon.

In my teen years,

I cherished warm days like this in

Wisconsin.

In my twenties,

it wouldn't even slow me down when I worked as a carpenter in

Houston, Texas.

In my thirties,

I discovered I no longer liked to work hard,

so I found jobs in air-conditioned office buildings instead.

In my forties,

my office was my air-conditioned car,

since I became a traveling salesman/computer technician.

In my fifties,

well I retired at age fifty-three so i can't really comment on that decade.

But now,

in my fifth year of being in my sixties,

I can't leave my house,

to start up my air-conditioned car without complaining!

I find that heat has the opposite effect on me today.

When it's this hot,

I don't want to do anything.

So today,

I am going to reprise a

Post

I wrote on 

Saturday, March 30, 2013.

Because I am too tired mentally to think of anything new to write.

*****

Readers,

check out my new poem called,

"1800 Aussie Ghost Story" 
under the heading

Poetry.

If you like what you read,

please leave a comment.

I do have to explain one detail in the poem though.

There is a line in the poem that reads,

"starve the bardies."

The line is an

Australian

slang,

which means,

"an exclamation of surprise or protest."

To my surprise,

people have read it as,

"starve the barbies"
and have sent me messages saying I misspelled
"barbies"!

Like that would make any sense!

This is,

Already Whining Because Tomorrow Is Going To Be Even Hotter

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“But who wants to be foretold the weather? It is bad enough when it comes, without our having the misery of knowing about it beforehand.”
- Jerome K. Jerome -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
