Centerville or Circleville

One year ago I was landing in NYC looking down into Central Park and wondering what John Lennon would be like in his 70's if a madman had stayed home and watched Monday Night Football. What a shame. Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a rotten banana.
Last Sunday afternoon I visited a small creek of the Neuse River and caught a few small speckled trout. Very therapeutic end to a stressful week; I've had quite a few of those lately with more coming.
Left the right coast early Monday morning and worked my way across central NC and up into Farmville VA in time to watch and participate in a ceremony involving Jackson. He returned his Entered Apprentice and received his Fellowcraft degrees. Pretty work there young man.
Then up to OH for a few days. Cold weather is here. Back to Portsmouth OH today, then Charleston WV and on home. Been a long week, going to be a long day but worthwhile as of this morning.
Francis Dietz from northern VA provided this chart which describes uhhhhhhhh someone's sense of humor. Well said Francis, now let's get to work on that Red Sox problem you have
OK, Free Masonry, eternal damnation, probably have already offended most of my readers so let's go for the remaining group: saw this in my hotel Thursday morning. Wonder why this tribe didn't have this meeting at the country club? Once again I know I am missing something, but that is a feeling with which I find myself more comfortable every day.
Home for paperwork over the weekend and then off to MD and beyond Monday morning. Hope I have enough clean underwear. And oh yes, Centerville or Circleville? When you are driving south from Columbus OH at 8:00 PM on a dark wintry night it is worth your while to know which bulging metropolis you are heading, it can add a lot of time and embarrassment to your trip otherwise.

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
