Who have I met this week? Inga and Karl YouTubers from Iceland. I started watching their channel a few months ago, and on a recent vlog they mentioned that they were going to be in the DC area over Thanksgiving. I reached out and asked if I could buy them a beer, they said yes. There are IT professionals, world travelers, fun adventurer's. Give their channel a try.
Why? I enjoy meeting people. Let me know when you are going to be in the Washington DC area, we will try to meet up. I love going out to breakfast. When I travel, if I know there is a blogger nearby, I try to meet them.
What else have I been up to? I took 6 days off for the Thanksgiving holiday. I have cooked, baked, eaten sensibly. I ordered new sunglasses, TV glasses and my first pair of computer glasses. I cleaned out a couple of drawers at home. Took a few long walks.
What have I been watching? A lot of YouTube, there are some amazing content producers out there.
Will I start a YouTube channel? I have thought about it, but video editing is painful, if you are going to do it well. And I look fat and sound funny (and it is not the camera.)
What surprised me this week? That people still go shopping the day after Thanksgiving.
Where have I been? Dyke Marsh a couple of times, the Holiday Market at Gallery Place, the optical shop on King Street, Mt. Vernon, and back to the office for a couple of days.
What have I sorted through? A stack of books. One needs to go to a friend, two (unread) are going into the community library, they are work and I am about done reading for work.
What am I reading? Diddly Squat Farm, Pigs Might Fly, Jeremy Clarkson's latest book. I know he is a pig, but his writing is funny.
What proof is there that I am old? I purchased my senior public transit card, half price fares on the subway trains and one-dollar bus rides.
We all need some piggy reading at times! Very cool you met even more of your online friends.
ReplyDeleteThe book I read before this one might have been cribbed from your diary,

DeleteI have never set foot in a store, any kind of store, on Black Friday.
ReplyDeleteAll that pushing and shoving? I'm afraid I might hurt someone.
I will avoid malls until after New Years
DeleteI got my senior pass to national parks years ago and I'm glad I did. I'm not sure they give those away any longer.
ReplyDeleteWe have one, I think it is now $50 or $75, and is good for a lifetime.
