I had a big blue thing

Hi, Diane. This is cold-blooded. It seems that for some reason I haven't been following your photos since last September, so I really enjoyed the retrospective today. I'll try to pay better attention from now on.

John, I've been gone since about that time, maybe longer. I'm losing eyesight, which depressed the heck out of me. The, developed orthopedic and other medical problems. Sighhh...anyway, I am feeling much better about it all, even though none of it is actually gone. So - cold-blooded you aren't!

I meant your photo was cold-blooded, Diane, not me. I'm addicted to obsolete slang. It's so old that Urban Dictionary only has one definition that approaches it: "cool:. I think of it as meaning clear and direct.

Age is not being kind to me, either. It's cold-blooded in another sense. I'm losing my ability to use a camera, too, so you have my sympathy.

On this side of the border, "cold blooded" means heartless, or cruel. I first heard it years ago as a slang phrase of young black men.

I'sorry to read about your health troubles, but we all all getting older every day together, collecting medical help to feel better, be patient........
