This week’s paper may seem a day late to some people. Some of you get us on Thursdays. We are a Friday paper and this week wanted to report on the budget hearing meeting Thursday night. So, we were not available anywhere until Friday.
The budget is too big of an item to let pass. This year, the budget outcome is more important than ever. Please excuse what may seem like our late delivery. We just want to continue to bring you the best news coverage in the City.
I have a couple of funny stories for you this week.
Recently I went to a club meeting and thought there were no young members of the group. One young man finally came in, and I said to myself that he and I were going to help bring a younger crowd into the club. I told a friend about this. She reminded me that I was not much (if any) younger then the regular members. The young man was about 30. I realized she was right. I’m not young any more. When did that happen? Wasn’t it last year that I turned 30?
Isn’t it odd that most of us feel like we are still 30-something no matter how old we are? I haven’t met many people who feel they are as old as their age. I think it’s time to stop celebrating birthdays and just celebrate being alive.
I used to think old people were silly when they said they still felt 25. Now, I know it’s true. The body ages naturally. The mind only ages if we let it. I’m not letting mine grow old anytime soon. So, I’ve decided to let myself turn 31 next year and see what happens.
One of the things that keeps me going everyday is my coffee. I love my coffee. Every day I look forward to a peppermint mocha coffee or a mint chocolate chip coffee. All are decaf. Some people say I am not a real coffee drinker. Well, this week I thought I would show them so I had a cup of Starbucks. Okay, it was Blonde, but it was still Starbucks and it wasn’t decaf. After I had it I was bouncing off the walls. Yes. Boing! Boing! I love my coffee, but I think I’m sticking to decaf. Thank you very much!
All this leads to my funny joke found on Facebook this week. And of course it is about coffee.
“There is no life on earth without water. Because without water there is no coffee. And without coffee, I will kill you.”
Until next week, drink your coffee and keep reading New Britain’s #1 Most Trusted Newspaper.
