Strange new sounds

Getting in the car the other day, I suddenly realized that I was making a strange new sound. It was a guttural groan set off by my putting my body behind the steering wheel of my car. 
I have been getting in and out of cars for a long time, but I don’t remember making this sound. 
I watched myself get out of the car when I arrived at my destination and sure enough, I made the same sound. Now very aware of this phenomena, I listened as I walked up the stairs, kneeled down to pick up a sock, got out of bed in the morning, sat in a chair, got out of the chair, and several other places where I had to bend or stretch my body.
 This sound must be because of global warming or something. I don’t think it has anything to do with my body getting older. Just say'en

Grumpy old man

Talked to someone the other day who wore me out. This person is the same age as I am, is in good health, just retired, and is ready to die. I haven't heard so much negative outlook from one person in a long time. 

I tried to encourage him to try something new like ballroom dancing, golf, fishing, or anything other than sitting and watching TV. To him, dancing was for sissies, golf was boring, fishing was too much work, and anything else I mentioned was also not a good idea.

 He hates the cold, but refuses to move south. Wants to be with his family, but never goes to see them. Doesn’t like to read, won’t try art, hates music, and generally doesn’t like to do anything.

This man isn’t depressed, he just is lazy. To him it is easier to complain about the problem than pursue a solution. 
The good thing about being with him was the ability to see what I never want to become. Life is good, how sad to waste it. Just Say’n.

Designed to make me insane

The brake light went out on my car the other day. No big deal, just needs a new bulb. When I open the trunk to replace the bulb, there is nothing indicating that a tail light even exists. No wires, no fixture, no holder, just a metal frame. I notice a couple screws in the frame, so I take them out. Now the frame drops down and reveals a plastic holder with wires attached.
Still no bulb.
I remove the plastic holder by detaching several wires and a small plastic clip that breaks as I remove it.
At last, some wires that run to what appears to be a bulb holder, but alas, no way to get to the bulb unless I unscrew the holder. 
One hour later I finally get the bulb out. In my trunk I now have about twenty different parts that all have to be reassembled. It is enough to make a grown man cry. What ever happened to simplicity? Just Say'n

Brrrrrrrrrrr

We have had a cold winter, for which I am not eternally grateful. 
 It is cold, cold, cold. I know there are very good reasons for seasonal weather changes, but I still don’t see the benefit to cold. 
I talk to some people who like the cold, and I guess that’s why we all are different.
People live in warm climates year round and don’t seem to be harmed by the lack of cold. 
I guess the people in places like Wisconsin, Alaska, and others find cold to be wonderful. 
Nevertheless, I am cheering for global warming. Just say’n.

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
