    There is one week left in August. It used to be September was the beginning of autumn, but we'll have to wait until late October these days...
    Have a good week, everyone.
    P.S. L.L.Bean's catalogue arrived today, which means, it's definitely going in the right direction!

  3. Good morning. 🌹🌹🌹

    19 August 2026

    I went to see one of my doctors yesterday. My wife goes with me to help interpret — my hearing makes it hard to understand people, especially if they have any kind of accent. It’s a little disconcerting because doctors often end up talking to her instead of me. I’m sitting right there thinking, Hello! I’m still here and I can hear you.

    And it’s true — I can hear them well enough to catch most of what’s being said, especially my wife, whose voice I’m tuned to like a homing beacon. I can hear her in a crowded Walmart even if I’m on the other side of the store. That’s just the way it is.

    Anyway, at one point during the appointment, while discussing my treatment, my doctor used the phrase “he’s special.” My brain did a double‑take. Whoa — I’m special? Isn’t that subtle code for “he’s a little slow”? My ears perked up because for a split second I wondered if I had a reputation. The phrase itself just tickled me.

    Of course, I knew she meant my particular physiology — that my treatment plan needed to be slightly different from the standard approach. But it still struck me as funny.

    When we got out to the car, buckled our seat belts, and I started the engine, I turned to my wife and said, “I’m special.” She laughed too, though not nearly as hard as I did.

    One of the great gifts in life is being able to laugh at yourself. People who take themselves too seriously must be miserable on the inside. We’re all only here for a short time — so don’t take yourself too seriously. It’s all the same in the end.

    “Life is too important to be taken seriously.” — Oscar Wilde

    “He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.” — Epictetus

    “The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up.” — Mark Twain
