my 62nd birthday a few days ago. 62 years. SIXTY TWO Years!! Sorry, invoking Jeremy Piven in Grosse Pointe Blank there a little. LOL.

anyhow, yes, 62. huh.

quite a lot has transpired since i last had a birthday. it’s been a year, that’s for sure.

my father died. that was a biggie. still haven’t really grieved, for him or my mom, at least i don’t think i have. grief is a funny thing, is it not?

my brother stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the trust through an act of fraud and forgery. so, there’s that. needless to say i don’t have any communication him or his wife any longer. although both of them did reach out on my birthday, but i think more to assuage (nice word eh what?) their guilty consciences more than wishing me well, but hey, A for effort one supposes. didn’t respond because that would only give verity to their communications.

i moved from my little burg to the big city. jury is still out on that perhaps travesty of something or other. contemplating a move actually. small town, new province. let’s see said the blind man.

met some interesting people and ghosted even more. and the ones i ghosted, i hope are doing well, i truly do.

did some traveling, with more to come.

made some investments, hopefully they pay off.

and on my birthday, funny enough alone, i drove 14 1/2 hours down east. why you ask? no effing idea says me. well, yes, clients, and looking at property, but at 730AM i mused to myself whilst muddling through GTA traffic, i could have flown. LOL.

anyhow, i was going over this post in my head, because, well, not a whole lot else to do, and came to the conclusion that while things haven’t always been the best over the last number, i am healthy for the most part, i have clothes on my back, food sort of, in the fridge, and there are some good people in my life, albeit ones who see me as a person who spends, and not overly for me. Still and all though, there are people in this world who are not doing well, and my life, when put in the same light, isn’t so bad.

so here i am, 62, and with all that, still myself alone, but on the right side of the grass. which, isn’t a bad thing.

not easy being me. LOL.

peace.
