Hostage

At 6 am, the beach is nice; And I am headed for a stroll. At 7, sun is poking out, I guess I’m still glad on the whole. I turn around and head back home; The half-way thoughts somewhat console. By 8 am, the sun is hot; I’m drenched with sweat from head to toe, But I can see the house ahead, A few blocks down, not far to go. Once back inside, the A/C on, The waiting game has now begun For I will likely hide away until the day has ditched the sun.

Seems to be the last several years of my life Jeff. Can definitely identify.

It could be worse, my friend... E.g., I am in too much pain to walk before about 9:30 a.m. So I'm 'in hiding' all day. By twilight, the pain is back... And so it goes. Smiles, gw

Well said and I concur! I got the grands outside before this Summer heat-treat takes its toll! Hanging out under the AC.
