It’s hard sometimes when we compare our lives now to how they used to be, what we used to do, and all that. I have made peace with the life i have now though and just go with the flow. It’s not always easy though.

No problem.
I love the new house. It’s really nice and I picked it out. My wife didn’t see it until after I bought it. It’s definitely the nicest place we have ever had.
When it’s paid for I will be happy assuming I live long enough to pay it off. I will be 78 when I make my last mortgage payment. I wish I would have held on to the first house I bought in 1995. It would nearly be paid for.

You’re right. I can’t go back. I should look forward to the future. I’ve been in the process of getting my driver’s license back. That’s something I’m highly looking forward to. Maybe I can try going to school again just to get out of the apartment.

What would you study if you went back to school? You seem like a pretty bright guy on here.
That’s great. I forgot to say thanks for your service on veterans day. I think It’s never too late to appreciate someone who has served this wonderful country so thanks for that. Haha don’t worry you’ll be 78 in no time!

Well originally I wanted to be an English teacher so English was my major. I’m not sure what I’d want to study. Maybe just take a class or two to get used to school again. English is my second language so I enjoy learning more about it. I don’t think I’d be an English teacher though. Thank you for the compliment. I’m not as bright as I used to be thanks to Google search. Before I knew stuff and there was no Google. Now everyone googles things hah.

It’s amazing how times have changed. Google is very useful. YouTube too. I never imagined having all that information and music on the tips of my fingers. I used to have to go buy CDs and books at stores that no longer exist. Even Sears is disappearing. Toys R Us Haha. I have some funny memories of driving from Tijuana to the town where I grew up and wanting to stop at every Toys R Us on the way. Finally my parents stopped at one and they bought me a Godzilla toy. Ah fond old memories.

When i was a kid we had a set of encyclopedias. I liked to sit and read them. Now i’ve graduated to surfing the web. Yeah everything is online now. It’s the place to be. But i still prefer actual physical books. I don’t own an e-reader. I get a lot of books from Amazon, used. I just like to hold an actual book when i’m reading, i guess.

Denmark. I’m pretty sure.
I have trouble reading books now unfortunately. I would like to start again. The last book I read was a family anecdote written by an uncle in Spanish. I didn’t really enjoy his writing style. The story was interesting as I learned more about my grandparents and their kids. They had 14 kids. Imagine traveling in a car with 16 people. Wow.

Yeah i can’t always concentrate. Some days i read, some days i don’t. Hope you get back your ability. That sounds like a pretty interesting book. I just finished reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and i had difficulty with it. I don’t know if it’s his writing style or my mind. I read another one of his years ago, Something Wicked This Way Comes, but i don’t remember if i liked it or not.

I’ve read Farenheit 451. It’s a good book. I can see why you had a little trouble reading it. His writing is a little straightforward although enjoyable for the most part. I had trouble reading a John Grisham book once. I don’t know why but it seemed plain.

I used to read Fantasy books. The Sword of Truth series. The first book is called Wizard’s First Rule. I read it when I was about 13. I’d like to go back and finish the series. The rule is pretty funny. If I remember correctly the first rule is, “People are stupid, they’ll believe a lie because they want to, or are afraid It’s true.” It has some good humor in it.

I ordered a used copy of Dune on Amazon today. @anon94176359 highly recommended it, so i’m gonna give it a go. I’ve never read much sci fi.
