Had a frugal-living experience yesterday that was new to me. Went on bus trip coordinated by the Social Services Director for the housing unit where I live, and along with a half-dozen other residents was dropped off at a mall to shop and whatever.

So, with an hour to spend before the bus took us back, we collected in one place and conversations arose. Topic that I liked was about how we haven't communicated much before, although living for years together. One lady lived in the apartments since 2004, as I had, but never communicated. I opined that I was isolated and self-reliant after years of independence, and besides I had sight, hearing, and even short-term memory deficits that kept me from recognizing familiars. Then a woman volunteered that we are all different in that. Making me recognize how much we can share in a simple get-together. Was a good feeling of togetherness experienced.

I liked the comradery of familiars experienced and will be taking another bus trip next month. Hey, we don't live forever, and what's to lose?

So us elders can

What sin has not been committed in the name of efficiency?
