February 1, 2010

Today we had a very lovely day. It was clear, not a cloud in the sky and wintry cold. Even though it was pleasant the weather people make such a big thing about a little cold that it is unbelievable.

If it is cold in the winter they complain, if it is warm in the summer they complain. What the hell they want?

Years ago we vacationed in Aruba where almost every day of the year it is sunny and warm. We heard that they don't have any weather forecasting because there is nothing to forecast. Things never change there.

I'll bet if they would send some of the New York forecasters there they would be able to mess up even there.

I still say, this is the best job in the world. If they are wrong they just say oops! No consequences.

My wife and I went to the gym today. We try to go a couple of times a week just to stay in shape. So we went today and it was a good workout. She did her exercises and did mine. We do it for about an hour and a half and we feel good afterward.

The advantages of being retired is that we can enjoy the lack of crowds at places like the gym. We used to go after work when it was always crowded and it was like zoo. Now, during the day it is bordering on the pleasant since there are no crowds.

People like us come during the day and they behave a little more civilized than the night people.

I love to work out on machines and also to lift weights. We know enough people there and occasionally somebody will show a good exercise which I try to follow.

===========================

Last night we watched for about an hour the Grammy presentation. That show is the perfect example of beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

The way some or most of these people were dressed was ridiculous, tasteless and just plain ugly. Even if these women get their dresses for free from the designers they should have enough self criticism to realize what they looked like.

Just because it is free it doesn't mean they must wear it. They looked dowdy, stupid colors and showed anatomy where it should have stayed hidden. It shows that these people have absolutely no self respect.

Their self adulation is getting boring. Publicly they all love one and other while privately they wish the competition to hell.

I know I am an old fogy with old ideas, but this is not music to my ears. Screaming and rapping is no art in my books. The only real artist yesterday was Andrea Bocelli. I was surprised to see that he lowered himself to appear there.

And these people make 20-30-40-50 million dollars a year. Something is wrong with this equation.
