Like a Rolling Stone

The learned Doctors at the VA Hospital have told me last May, that I must walk daily to strengthen my legs. My knees are shot and I have varicose veins. Walking cause’s pain, but the Doctors say that I must do this activity to keep my leg mussels from atrophying. They told me that I should not sit in a chair, lie on a couch or lie in bed all day. This is what I had been doing. Of course I didn’t listen to the Doctor’s advice.

Last December my leg strength was so weak that I could not hoist myself from the floor while playing with my Grandson. This scared me! Twice my son had to pick me up off of the floor. This is very embarrassing.

But my physical condition is not the point of this post.

Today, I walked to my Bank to make a withdrawal that would allow me to sustain my bad habits. On my journey to the Bank, I passed a Tattoo parlor that is relatively new to Treasure Island. I noticed two teenage girls entering the shop. They were giggling! And I was thinking that I would pay for their Tattoos if they would let me watch. Let’s face it; I’m a sick old man.

I never made the offer, so no harm, and no foul.

Sometimes our minds work in mysterious ways. When I arrived back home I immediately thought of the “Rolling Stones” and not of the teenage girls. This is very unlike me! As I have a longing for younger women, and lived with several awhile. These two girls appeared to be legal. But who knows? It’s not worth the risk at my age; as I don’t want to be branded as a pedophile.

In the early 1980’s the Stones had an Album named “Tattoo You”. It’s not one of there best albums; and I have 11 of their albums on vinyl and 4 more on CD. But it does have their songs “Waiting on a Friend” and “Start me up”. These are two of my favorite Stone’s tunes from the 1980’s.

At this moment I’m listening to the Stones. Great music!
