Funny stuff. Some naughty stuff. Of course. I was reminiscing about hospital situations I have been in. At the same time, I was realizing that I have been in hospital a number of times in my life. I suppose the same is true of others? Yeah, I guess so. My first episode, other than theContinue reading “August 17, 2020”

Slip slidin’ through and past the ‘dog days’ of summer. The days named so because of the position of Sirius, the Dog Star. Isn’t that interesting? I used to think that it meant the days when the dogs get so hot and tired that they just lie in and be lazy in whatever shade thereContinue reading “August 15, 2020”

I haven’t had much to say the last little bit, have I? Been mighty quiet. I realize it is because I don’t believe I should speak, I don’t really know anything. I got into an interesting discussion with a friend about the word ‘regime’ and how the connotation changes, depending on how it is pronounced.Continue reading “August 12, 2020”

Already launched into August? Not. With no singing season in sight, the summer has felt endless. I can imagine that the schoolchildren feel the same way though their situation is less certain. “Will we be going back to school, will we not?” I know we, as a chorus, will not be singing until after JanuaryContinue reading “August 5, 2020”

Well how do you like that? Today turns out full with promise of a lovely day. We really didn’t have a lot of rain but the green growing things have been refreshed. The maple outside my window is smiling, dancing in light breeze and the sweltering air has been blown elsewhere. We, too can beginContinue reading “August 3, 2020”

I have to change up the chair I am sitting in. I worry that the amount of time I am spending in the chair will collapse the stuffing and flatten it’s curve. Excuse me for a moment. I just changed and I was right, the stuffing needs a break. The different chair has it’s seatContinue reading “July 24, 2020”

I got a good start on today in spite of myself. The bathroom scale screamed at me but I set that aside and got busy with a day’s work. First and most important, a chat with a friend, then a basic breakfast and a sit down in front of my new form of typewriter. IContinue reading “July 22, 2020”

Are we going to have a fabulous day today, or what? I jumped out of bed after an hour of listening to the radio, then overwatered the Sahara dry plant, got a towel, cleaned up the mess, put on my clothes to take out the garbage… and… I was too late. The truck had comeContinue reading “July 21, 2020”

Worry Rip Van Plumber’s Crack (Winkle) was out today.  That is a certain sign of spring. He wears very little clothing so cannot long endure the cold weather.  I don’t know where he goes during the dark months.  Maybe he has a little house somewhere, similar to the little house I built for Msr. P.Continue reading “March 10, 2020”

Changes I dropped by the bulk food store to get some supplies for baking.  I have cut back on spending and needed bread supplies, bread being much cheaper to make yourself than to buy.  I can do about four loaves for the price of one.  A deal.  Against the wishes of Shell oil and others,Continue reading “March 6, 2020”
