I just got hit by a bout of “Here I Am! Take Me Or Leave Me!” It actually feels pretty good. First I posted it as my Facebook status, then, having very little else, I decided to write my blog post about it. Let’s see if I can get 200 words. I can bill it as a Monday Mental Meanderings. I can’t call them Middle-aged Musings anymore, unless I live to be over 120. If so, I will leave instructions in my will for somebody to go back and re-categorize accordingly. Perhaps I could do it myself on my deathbed. I probably will not have much else to do at the time.
Yes, I am feeling a little silly.
I need more bling in my life.
Regular readers may recall the Minnie Mouse ears given to me by a friend recently. She gifted a few other friends with different colors. We are all going to wear them to the Herkimer Elks Lodge one day soon while Jack makes ice cream drinks. Yum!
Politics must intrude.
I got hit with my merry mood after taking a shower kind of late in the day and putting on a cute outfit (or do I flatter myself?). I have to cover the Ilion Village Board Meeting at 5:30. These meetings have been lively lately, because many residents have attended to protest an AI Data Center which is proposed for the former Remington Arms building. Remington Arms, for those of you who do not know, was a large gun manufacturer for over 200 years. It was a terrible thing for the village when they closed. I worked there for almost 10 years.
It is nice to see people getting involved with local issues, and they are not only talking about the data center but about other issues. However, this blog is intended to be “totally fun,” so I will probably not write about them here. I merely mention them in passing. I will write about them for the Daily Sentinel, a paper out of Rome, NY. That is my side hustle, a freelance reporter. Doesn’t that sound cool?
I see I am over 300 words. Score! As always, I thank you for tuning in.
