tiny observations, mild complaints, accidental wisdom
1. Costco Rotisserie Chickens Are Currency
This week I saw someone buy six.
Not because they needed six —
because Costco priced them at $4.99
and retirees see that as a sign from the heavens.
Chickens have become the Bitcoin of senior living.
2. The Weather in Colorado Is a Jump Scare
Sunny morning.
Blizzard afternoon.
Hurricane winds at sunset.
I left the house in a T-shirt
and came home looking like I survived a National Geographic expedition.
3. Doctors Now Ask Questions I’m Not Ready For
My doctor: “Any new aches?”
Me: “Define new.”
4. The Spice Cabinet Is a Museum
I reached for garlic powder
and found a jar from 2007.
Some of these spices are older than my neighbors.
At this point, oregano is basically an heirloom.
5. This Week’s Unexpected Gratitude
The grocery store employee who said “Take your time.”
Music to a retiree’s ears.
