Ask Bart Anything

[JUAN]

Are you still  Habs fan or have you switched over to the Zurich Zebras?

No switch but one of our neighbors is a guy named Elvis who plays for the local team.

Actual serious question here.

Assuming that you are not just lying around staring at the TV, are you keeping busy in general and establishing healthy habits (activities, not diet) that will be a part of what is left of your time on the planet?

Being soft retired from 2017 was great because I kept myself busy with home and yard stuff, Air-BnB and music yada yada yada.
Would eventually start thinking subconsciously about how to blow it all up.

Bairyn's schedule is 6 days of work then 6 days off.
On the work days I have breakfast with her then go exploring the small towns on motorcycle.
I get back around noon, spend a few minutes online then watch the hockey game from the previous night or plan out the next trip.
On the 6 days off we either fly back to Bern or head somewhere new before tourist season kills it all.
I don't know if they are healthy habits but it still feels like a vacation so I guess it's going ok.

Moving got you a couple of months.  Soon, she will begin objecting to you being around so much and you'll have to get a menial job or spend your days at the Waffle House with the other old men.

Bart is a year younger than me. He's not old.

Or at the beach with one of those metal detector things looking for jools.

Or at the beach with one of those metal detector things looking for jools.

With black socks and thick strap leather sandals.
Big clunky watch.
Shorts hiked up to his nipples as his belly bursts as if to be pregnant beneath the raised beltline.
Ballsack hanging down one pantleg creeping all the other beach goers out.

..Sometimes stopping to gaze within a squint as he giggles in agreeance to the great nothing of the air.


Bairyn's screams can be heard from the house - "Baarrrrdt! there are flames coming out of the sink again!!"

It sounds like all you have known is generational relationship failure.
I hold out hope you meet a silver princess that changes that.

I am Benjamin Buttonning.
I never saw the movie but I think he got younger.
If not then it should have been the plot.
All the nagging injuries are disappearing.

The only people I see doing that lately are ladies in bikinis filming it for their tickytock.
