It is the middle of February and we are in the 80s with loads of sun and most of the day not a cloud in the sky! We have broken record highs and yet people are still denying that the world is heating up and say ‘that always happens’–sorry folks, it doesn’t always happen. Look at what is going on in the world with storms bigger than ever, fires raging out of control, ice cliffs melting—don’t let people tell you the climate isn’t changing!

BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE ASKED–REALLY–MY NEED WISH GIFT LIST
Well, they have been hounding me (okay asked me once or twice) what I need/wish for as a gift on my birthday. Doing this mostly against my will (HUSH! Don’t say a word!) I am offering 3 categories of gifts. Let’s be clear NO ONE HAS TO GET/SEND ME A GIFT!! (Of course, if you have bad luck for 7 years after Saturday, February 29, 2020, don’t look at me!) By the same token, how many Leap Year Babies do you know? Remember us poor Leap Year birthday people are ignored for 3 out of every 4 years–not that I want you to feel guilty.
Now that I am old–hey, 21 is OLD!–I want only things I can use in my everyday life and don’t need ‘clutter’. (Yes, eating out doesn’t fit in that category of clutter by my definition!)
Okay, here we go!
Category 1
Not sensible but not impossible gifts
A convertible car–preferably a Chevy or Caddie from the 1970s BUT any kind will do–including a year of automobile insurance. (Well you wouldn’t want me to drive around without insurance, would you?)
A round month-long trip to Australia and New Zealand with a rental car available in New Zealand so I could drive from the north island to the south island stopping where and when I want. I’ll give you more details when you want to book the trip.
A round trip ticket to New York–plan(s) to follow when you start booking the 3-4 day trip.
Category 2
Sensible and possible (In no particular preference)
A point and shoot digital camera Top of the line electric razor
Category 3
Practical, Possible and Sensible (In no particular preference)
Gift cards (So I can buy what I need– not what I want!) for:
Target Office Depot Home Depot Winn-Dixie The Dollar Tree
The Gateway Movie Theatre Regal Theatre AMC Theatre
Quarterdeck Restaurant Cabo Blanco Restaurant Cafe Vico
Outback Steak House Big Louie’s Restaurant Subways Restaurant
Uber Lyft
for locals: letting me borrow your car Monday and/or Tuesday and/or Wednesdays.

RSVPs
Whether you get an evite or a formal printed invitation, it’s considerate to tell the host as soon as you can whether you’re coming.
No maybes. “I think the hardest thing for any host is a question mark on a guest list,” Senning says. “I’m not a big fan of the ‘maybe.’”
Hosts should ping nonresponders. “If you’re hosting the party and haven’t heard back from people, it’s OK to do a follow-up and ask — without being accusatory — if they’re coming.”
