Another Motorcycle Problem

For five straight weeks I've come home at or after midnight; just for fun last week I did it twice. Jackson came home sick and we took him back Sunday night. I need frequent driver points. Next Friday, coincidentally Good Friday, my flight is due to arrive in New Bern after 10:00 PM. The fun continues.

There is no wonder I wake up worrying about such things as whether Gilligan was his first name or his last; by the way it was his last name, his first name was Willy.

But it is a good thing that both TAR and I enjoy our jobs and what we do, there is some kind of fulfillment out there somewhere which like total consciousnesses on my deathbed is nice..........

At the Wal-Mart this week and realized that at the age of 56 I am finally able to pick out my own cereal. When did that happen? Oh look at the Fruit Loops, Captain Crunch, SMORZ, Apple Jacks, and Fried Chocolate Chicken with Gin-Lace Marsh-mellow Berries....OK, I made that last one up. 10 turned into 56 faster than that last martini disappeared, which by the way was February 20th not that I'm counting................And the answer for which you're groping is Crunch Raisin Bran

And now for pictures you seem to prefer over my writing: from George Takei titled "ohhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

From my own brilliant mind; were these two separated at birth? You decide........

From the rooftop of my Toronto hotel; a suggested motto "we put the bomb in Bombay"

Mandatory Niagara Falls picture, sorry the lighting was poor, I left Toronto pretty early in the morning. Still beautiful as ever

.................and our grand daughter is a plate licker, good to the last drop.

In Dallas all next week.

Oh the motorcycle you ask? Riding in Beaufort at 35 MPH and hit a small bump, the windshield broke. Took it back to Knuckleheadz, we'll have to find out what my birthday present is going to cost.

Grandma's Birthday

Pictures you want, pictures you got

You try writing this thing every week, OK, just a few captions:

The happiest place on earth my ass; they didn't act too happy when I told Mary Poppins I'd like to give her a spoonful of sugar...........................................Also when I asked a guy in a turban if he worked at the Alladin ride

From a collaboration with Jackson "try the pork chops, they're too die for"

You know the part of Peter Pan is usually played by a woman, no, we argued about this one, I thought she was a woman but SWMBO said no, you decide

My favorite Stars Wars character

We know who did it Hughtey Battle

Audience participation time, insert your own caption for Wilma Flintstone........

See you next week with more commentary and less pictures.................

I'm A Dancing, Dancing, Dancing........Dancing Machine

At our dance class Wednesday night we did the Salsa, I of course created my own version.....you've probably seen my freelance dances such as opening the stuck jam jar, cranking the lawnmower, the water sprinkler, and one I learned from Jay.....going down the grocery aisle selecting items and placing them into my cart. But the salsa was easy, I even ad libbed spilling some on my shirt, not too difficult. Unfortunately the instructor was not amused.....................

Keep in mind this is my idea of far-out letting it all hang out dancing

Whoa, is Henry Fonda a dancing madman or what?

Along those lines I received an e-mail from the church office this week asking me if I had a whip they could borrow for a sermon this Sunday. I couldn't help but ask why they would possibly think of me and they just laughed. I told them I was sorry I didn't have one but that SWMBO has several and I would sneak one out to them, but they couldn't have one of the fancy good ones she saves for special occasions. OK, I made part of that story up, can you figure out which part?

No ideas on how St. Hooker's got its name huh? Really disappointed, thought the bright collective minds of my readers would bring forth some good ideas, but I guess.........Oh and so you know, you can comment as ANONYMOUS in case you need that veil of secrecy to express your hidden inner thoughts.

And so we're off to FL today; whole gang of us, the Pattersons, Jay, Holly, Keelyn, the little girl to be born later this summer, even Jackson. We're looking forward to Magic Kingdom and all we can see, going to be fun and relaxing.

Oh? The little girl on the way? You read carefully Grasshopper. How does Dinky Duke sound? Too feminine? Not sure of the name yet, heard Kate, Quinn, like'm all; but let's rule out Betty............or should they?

Off to the happiest place on earth, later

Cades County

Glenn Ford riding around the desert in a jeep, everybody was against him but he was going to do the "right thing." No, never watched it, I was too busy dating hot supermodels, OK, I was sitting there eating oranges with the rest of them. What else could I possibly be doing on a weekend night? A good memory of my father, thanks

In VA, MD and PA this past week, saw a couple of interesting signs on the road. I thought that Heilig-Meyers went out of business, well maybe they did

And this week's contest, fill in your caption here, nice message from the pastor, wonder who named this church? I can't help but think of Arthur Bach sitting in the dining room at the Plaza "oh you're a hooker?"

Key customer in thought yesterday in Pennsylvania. Might have been in worry/thought/prayer. One of the rewarding aspects of my job is having friends in this industry like him. He and his family vacation in our area each year and I'm fortunate to be able to spend time with them, although he always manages to reach into my pockets and retrieve golf bet winnings. But come on, finishing a meeting at 4:00 in Lebanon PA on a Friday? Made for a long ride home, the DC Beltway had construction, rain and heavy traffic; home @ 1:00AM. Three weeks in a row getting home after midnight.................

Next week in the office! Then Friday we are off to the happiest place on earth;my granddaughter can't wait to take me on It's A Small World. Guess I picked the wrong Lent period to stop sniffing glue
