BARTLESVILLE OKLAHOMA IS COLD

When I was younger... Say about 40 years ago I thought I really liked cold weather. Well that was when I could take all of our family someplace and watch them play in the snow. I now am pretty much a wimp when it comes to cold. I am wondering if there is a way I can do work all winter long somewhere on or around the equator. I know that me and cold are not going to become any more friendly to each other so I need to begin thinking now about next year if I am serious about this. If anybody has any immediate or possible solutions to my cold feet, and ears don't hesitate to give me an idea. Oh one thing I forgot to mention. It can't cost me anything. Now you know how excited I am to have a new President who will help me fulfill my dreams. I am a dreamin..... Dream with me.. Maybe a whole bunch of us can go way south...

WENDELL ROVENSTINE GETS READY FOR 2009

I am heading into my 71st year of of living a wonderful life. How much more do I know than when I was a child or a teenager in Hutchinson, KS? Probably not much. Life for me is really much more complicated than when I was a child. I am certain I had more resiliency to cope with changes as a child in Hutch. Changes in the late 30's and 40's unfolded a little slower and smoother for me. If your family had a car it could be fixed with a little baling wire and a wrench or two and maybe a trip to Sears or Wards where you picked up what you needed to stay on the road. With the arrival of 2009 I am amazed at the tremendous changes that have surfaced in the last 50-60 years. I may have a little feeling of pride for myself (I have a problem I guess) when it comes to keeping up on the latest updates that are available in the technical world of computers and electronics. To be honest when I think I know about as much as I think I can handle here comes a grand child with some new finagled gadget that I want to know about. I really don't want a grand child to leave me in the dust of obsolescence when it comes to gadgets and technology. The year 2009 will be a year of new challenges and dreams for me but I am positioning myself and plans to have a great year while others wonder what they are going to do I am going to go do it.
