The Old Barn That Couldn't Come in From the Cold

Here is one of my favorite barns, which happens to be right next door to us :-D

I think it's go a lot of character, standing up like that, despite the shabby shell and missing chunks of skin.

The gaps might let in the cold, but they let in fresh air, too. Gives the barn a chance to think new thoughts and entertain new ideas. Ideas it couldn't contemplate while housing farm implements, hay, and animals that kept making messes all the live long day.

Sorry the picture isn't in better focus, though maybe the barn doesn't mind. Maybe it doesn't want to be seen too closely, with flaws that would only look more tawdry if covered with paint.

No, I think if the barn could talk it would say something like, "Don't feel sorry for me....I've lived a good life...done a few unique things in my day...experienced joys and sorrows in a pleasing enough mixture to makes for a mellow old age."

Or, the barn might really want to visit Jamaica.

On the exercise front, Ma got in 4.5 miles on the treadmill yesterday, and 5 more today.

That ought to take care of the eggnog, what say!

In other news, I'm still working on Melinda's transcript, but starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully I can finish up tomorrow. And if I could get it in the mail, well....bonus points for Ma!

In the meantime, I'll get back to Glenn Miller and tabulating scores for Pre-Calc.
