A rearranged life

A couple of weeks ago, I surprised my wife and rearranged our bedroom furniture to a new configuration. Despite having replaced furniture a few times in the last 32 years, it's always had the same basic location,

This time, everything was moved 90 degrees.








It's already caused friction. The TV is mounted on the wall which is now to the side and not conducent (that's apparently not a word, but fits with what I want to say) for viewing from the bed. So if we want to watch TV in bed, we have to rotate the bed to better see the TV.

I have suggested an automatic turntable to ease the process, but that has not gone over well.

I'm back!

 I established this pattern of fewer and fewer blog posts over the years, and I'm now breaking the drought with my first post in over six years. The last one was five years later, but my longest run was from 1953-2007 when I didn't post at all, so be thankful it's not 54 years.

I've been reading from my hundreds of previous posts and found that although these are "Random Thoughts of No Consequence," in hindsight, they actually carry a lot of consequence and trigger a lot of long-forgotten memories. And the audience is still primarily me. I have, as of the writing, four followers. I sincerely think that none of them are even reading me any more. But if you are, "Hi!" and thank you for your patience.

My decline here has primarily come for being active on Facebook, but this medium is often more suited to my style of self-reporting. I hope it will continue, as I have found the bug again.
