A dream about the "good old days"

Day 162, "Every picture has a story"

This picture has so many story lines.  Chuckie, from Bergen church, and I pretty much saw each other every other week in church.  He went to Lidgerwood HS and I went to Sargent Central HS.  I post this picture because I had a dream last night that Chuckie (We have not seen each other for maybe 54 years and when he saw I wrote about "Chuckie" he knew it had to be Carmen Lee as he said he has not gone by that name ever but to me he was Chuckie.  I would assume he is Charles.  Regardless here is my dream and the story of the day.  I was in Bergen Church and it was Luther League.  The church was full and we were having a meeting.  In real life way way back in the early 60s the church was NEVER full and the meeting lasted about 15 minutes and the basement lunch was maybe an hour!)  Back to my dream.  We were having the meeting and I was going to give a speech, maybe just like I did back in my HS days.  I had on a pair of sweat pants and they kept coming down in the back when I slide down in the pew.  I had to be sure they were up far enough when I got up to speak.  I was nervous about speaking and upset with Chuckie as he had gotten me into this!  We sang songs first  and then I was about to stand up and talk.  THEN I WOKE UP AND NEVER GOT TO SAY ANYTHING!  End of story.  Chuckie lives in Detroit Lakes.  I really should stop and visit him some time.  It appears that he married a gal from Africa and has spent considerable time there.  End of story for this morning.  I could add one more line to my Chuckie story.  I stayed over night with hime one time, (I think that was the one and only time) and I was miserable the entire time as I had a barley barb stuck in my throat which was VERY irritating.  It just bothered me the entire time as I think it just had to dissolve over time.  Don't ask me WHY I put it in my mouth but those darn things had little teeth on and I just could not get it in or out!

I got a laugh out of a picture in the Wall Street Journal this morning.  There was a picture of President Trump and the leader of China.  The captain had Trump saying the if the trade deal went through it would be EPIC.  Liam had used that word twice in in last letter and I had to laugh.  I also had to send the picture to Liam by way of text to Mary!

Don't know if there will be much tennis today.  Greg put me in for 9:00 but 2 of the guys are not around so don't know if he got replacements or not.  Actually Greg is hurt and 1 guy is out of town.

It is cloudy and looks like maybe rain today.  

I went to Urgent Care yestereday as I have gotten a rash that is itchy.  I think I have gotten it every spring for the last few years.  So the Dr. sees me for maybe 4 minutes and then walks out saying a nurse would come in with a prescription which included the pills that you take 6 the first day, 5 the second etc until they are gone.  Also was included a cream to put on the rash.  I think it is a lot better already this morning.  Don't want it to turn into what it did about 3 or 4 years ago as Terry and I had to stop at an Urgent Care on the way up the east coast and the nurse P enjoyed giving me a shot in the behind!

I did all the important things this morning:

• took my Simvastation for cholesterol
• took my Lisinopril.HCTZ for high BP
• put some Betamethasone Dipropionate on the rash
• put some Clobetasol Propionate for the discoloration on my legs
• took the Methylprednisolone pill for the rash
• could not find the anti-aging pill
• could not find the fat burning pill
• decided to forgo the Pantogar which is for hair loss
• AND to think I Thank God each day for being so healthy!

Looks like I am set for a good day, right?

My breakfast was bacon, egg and cheese on toast today.  That is history and my FP is half gone so will sign off for today.
