Talking with a friend recently and it occurred to me that maybe I should share this with y'all.
I'm hard to get in touch with. Email and FA messaging aren't how people communicate now; in fact, they're kind of a pain in the ass for everyone who ain't me. During the lockdown, I briefly considered signing up for Telegram after a friend was kind enough to invite me; problem is, a) I don't carry a smartphone, and b) I really don't want to create another social media account. I'm sorry, but as the man said, include me out.
Artwise, I used to joke that I did my best drawing when I was unemployed; now it seems I do my ONLY drawing when I'm unemployed. Twenty years ago I used to enjoy sitting down at the drafting table after work; now I only look forward to cooking, wine, cocktails, 'Rat's company, and an increasingly elusive good night's sleep. The rest is gravy.
Getting old sucks -- but not that much, really.

Telegram's okay,
together every day, so it was worth it, but that's really all I use it for.
But I also ditched my smartphone at the first opportunity for a nice and simple flip phone.
Even if I want to they require a cellphone and I have no desire to own one.
Email! FA! Facebook - that'll do!
Do you actually need a cell phone for Telegram? I use it mostly on my laptops :)
Also I blame
Ooh, don't talk to an aging person about pain: we go out of our way to avoid it. Personally, I know I'm still alive when I can come up with a satisfactory answer to one of the many questions that still puzzle me; call it my #1 pastime.
Seems I was right.
I hope you guys are OK. :hugs:
Hmm...I LIKE getting old. Helps if you keep yourself in shape and the younger guys cum knockin' ;-p LOL. Who wants to relive their youth? Not me. Enjoy wisdom, it comes with a due date :D
