"We never lie by the pool; never play bingo; never play cards- never play any games'; dislike Las Vegas-style shows; never participate in any organized mass activity; etc. We take occasional walks (my walking is called staggering), stare at the horizon, sit on our porch counting wavelets & thinking profound thoughts, &, much of the time, reading."

I do sit at pool - same likes/dislikes you and Elly have for cruising - "most boring" I doubt it!!!! - this board had been boring for a few weeks - thanks for joining - I see in your profile retired Prof - hope it is math or science and NOT writing - the pressure will be on if it is writing - oh Professor Bernstein an "A" please - my husband,too, is hard of hearing but will not admit it - huh? what? what'd you say?? you never told me that fact - yada yada (denial) - again, a big welcome!!!!!!!!!! Ok going to check spell check and grammar site for the Prof!!!
