Getting old is a bitch. When breaking up the ice last week I managed to twist the wrong way or something and then suffered with a sore back until Thursday. Between the back and the knees some days I feel like I'm 70 years old. Enough about my aches and pains, I'm sure you're not interested.

I'm going camping next week so I went to Walmart today to buy a new pair of winter boots as my suitable for camping boots seem to have disappeared. I was ging to buy a new pair last year because I thought my old boots were too heavy and hard on my knees but I waited too long and there were no more winter boots available. As it was there were only two styles to choose from in my size. Who would steal a 20 year old pair of Kaufman steel toed winter boots? I may take a picture of my new boots to illustrate this posting.

Is it my imagination or has the general level of driver competence decreased? Frequently as I drive around I see people who clearly have no clue on the route they need to follow. On Saturday I got caught behind a driver who at a stale red light decided he needed to turn right. The problem was that he was in the leftmost lane of through traffic and needed to get across another lane of stopped traffic to to get to the right turn lane.

It looks like Studio 60 is dead. NBC has decided to pull it off the schedule on week early to let the Black Donnelleys into it's time slot. The speculation is that NBC will burn off the remaining shows later, sometime in the summer. Bye, bye Studio 60, I'll watch the last episode tonight with a tinge of sadness and longing.

Summer is coming, the Toronto Argonauts released their 2007 schedule this week. The Argonotes are already planning our big Grey Cup week for November when Toronto hosts the CFL championships. Hotel rooms are being booked so that we won't be distracted by family or work commitments during the Grey Cup debauchery.

Yahoo 360 still seems to think that I'd be interested in non-English Yahoo 360 pages. Someone should tell them that a guy who posts in English probably doesn't want to see non-English blogs in on the Interesting Pages on Yahoo! 360° section of his home page.

I've come to the conclusion that social networking is the "next big thing" on the Internet that will implode. It seems that every week that there is a new hot social networking site. MySpace, Facebook and then Bebo. The strange thing that I have noticed is that most of these sites cater to youths and that most of their social networking friends are people they have already met at school. This is why I have no cyber social networking friends I'm too old and most of the people I know don't belong to social networking sites. Maybe I should start a social networking site for old farts and fartettes.
