What I Learned in 2012

     You never stop learning.  I'm glad there's no homework at this stage of the game.  Here are a few of the things I learned in 2012:

     1. Honey Boo Boo is not cute.
     2. Everybody loves "Downton Abbey."
     3. The new "Two and a Half Men" is just as funny as the old "Two and a Half Men."
     4. There aren't enough hours in the day when you are retired.
     5. Dog biscuits don't have much flavor.
     6. Eating out is not as appealing as it used to be.
     7. There is little worse than one of Hillary Clinton's bad hair days.
     8. The end of the world is never coming, so be responsible and take care of this Earth.
     9. Blogging rarely makes anyone famous, but you'll force yourself to write a few times each week.  You'll have fun and keep up with the kooky news.  You might even amaze, amuse, and astound your friends.
