Remember when we were children, and yes............. I was a child. This is how we watched television lying down. My mother did not approve but as long as I did not do it with the living room console TV she looked the other way. My dad thought it would create eye strain.
Good morning. It's wet out there. Rain will continue until the clock strikes 8 AM. I will forgo the walk, I think today. Everything today will be a game time decision. I have been meaning to dust my house with the vacuum for several years, so maybe............ Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
A side note to one of the pics I published. I am certain you know the story of THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, the TV show and a book. In either case, the cast, having a reunion, took a cruise on this paddlewheeler the day after I took the picture and published it. I wonder if they are not some of my readers.
Greetings and hello. I am still fighting the good fight with the monster. I think it is in the wall and that is why I am not getting a visual on it. I did kill one the other day. I have all food supplies secured to deprive the enemy of that. I shall try to move on. I plan on going to church this morning after my exercise, outside of that........ who knows! Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. I believe a dinosaur is in my house. It awoke me at 2 and I can not return to dreamland. As a matter of fact, it is continuing to this very keystroke. I feel the day is lost. If I had not vowed to take to the streets in the middle of the night, I would be out in the safety of the streets right now. In either case, I persevere. I am brave and take up the banner of the downtrodden in this matter. Hopefully I shall not become extinct in this matter and will continue my relevant comments to the masses. Save the day! Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Today I celebrate two anniversaries. First Communion on Mother's Day; Confirmation on Mother's Day; both in the distant past. Even though they are different dates, both were Mother's Day and so I celebrate them on the holiday rather than the specific date. Seems like yesterday though it was when Nero was President of Italy. It brings back some good memories. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. On the eve of Mother's Day weekend, people will be bustling around for the gift they had not thought of before now. When I was a regular at the restaurant, this and Easter were the big days. Where I went there would be about 1800 people who would attend. I now dine in solitude of my FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Garbage Day in the Colonies. Expecting some rain after 9 AM though the radar looks more imminent than that. I hope I am not caught in it again. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy HUMP DAY. After getting caught in the torrential downpour with lightning yesterday, I am hoping for better today. The percentages are with me all day. My socks are still wet hanging on a chair. Fortunately I have a lot of them though for some reason use the ones with holes. Once again........ I can't throw things away. DAY 1 is in the books of the chapter entitled, LIFE WITH NO CARAFE. It went reasonably well. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Yesterday my last of the original carafes I bought in the 1990s expired. My own fault knocking it on the floor. I used it the rest of the day but by the end of the day, it was obvious there was some damage by the residual leaking of coffee. I shall miss both of these carafes. The trouble is no one is carrying them in the store. If you want to buy one, you have to order it online. I bought these at Walmart and they have prolonged the life of my coffee makers to no end. I imagine I will eventually buy another one but I will go into a decent time period of requiem in honor of these assistants of this writer. I say to them now. see you on the other side. Maybe I will see if it is possible to make just a couple of cups of coffee for breakfast. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Monday is here and so is this writer. It is good to get the weekend over and back to reality. Nothing planned for today. Everything will be simultaneous........ except for the banana run. I think I got too much done yesterday, the walk, going on the swings and monkey bars, but not really the monkey bars. In either case, today, moderation. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy Sunday. Looks like a sunny and leisurely day coming forth. It was good to get the Star Wars day out of the way.The Empire has a way to keep popping up over the eons and segments. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Caturday. Lethargic this morning. Rain about 9 AM so it looks like I will get the walk in. Church later. Outside of that, who knows. I remember when I looked forward to the weekend. Have a reasonable day in the fantasy of life. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Friday is here. I am expecting the new lawn mower today. I am dreading it in a way as I hate changes. And of course there will be some minor assembly I would assume. None of this used to bother me and now it is terror from outer space. At least it is supposed to be a nice day. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Expecting rain today so I may not make the walk this morning. Game time decision. I feel better since ordering the new lawn mower. It did help to scream as I authorized payment though. Nothing on the agenda today except maybe church and balancing the bank statement. I am expecting the new lawn mower to be delivered tomorrow. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Calendar pages changed on all calendars yesterday in a pre-emptive move heralded by all of my neighbors. May Day is celebrated today. It used to be something to honour the working class and commemorate their struggles for fair wages and better working conditions. Now it is a military parade for the communist nations around the world. Years ago the Catholic church made it a feast day for St Joseph the Worker to honor the people who worked. I of course am still struggling with the problem of a final solution. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. The last day of the month. Time to get ready to change the calendar pages. I depressed myself and went and looked at lawn mowers yesterday. I thought I found someone to fix mine but so far he has not returned the call. Actually he has but I was not there to receive it. It probably would not have worked as he would probably want me to pay him. Now someone said the guy who lives next to me has a host of lawn mowers and maybe he would sell me one. Of course that would involve an argument on how much he would want for one of them. I used to like buying and selling and the vitriol involved with this. Not any more. It would not look good on my résumé for sainthood upon completion of my journey on this side of the curtain. Waiting for the light to go for the exercise. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Monday is here like it was predicted to be. I think the rain is finished. My mind is still muddled with thoughts of the lawn mower............. what is and what could have been. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
April 27, 1981, The wedding of Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, with the Harrisons and the McCartneys; FYI, John Lennon had passed away the previous December 8, 1980
Good morning. Mid 50s and rain today. No agenda. Lawn is growing and I languish in the uncertainty of a lawn mower. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
