When I ran across this Sunday from 2010, I had to choose it for today’s classic A&J, because a couple of dear friends of mine are leaving this morning for a vacation in France. I wish them a hearty bon voyage, and of course I envy them. Though, when it comes to the average passenger manifest, Janis Goose probably is closer to the truth than Arlo Goose. You’re going to roll your eyes at this next bit. I’ve talked about it on several occasions in the past, but you have to admit: some of the things I dwell on here to no apparent end do sometimes produce results, eventually. I am again/still giving my online presence a lot of thought, and I now, finally, realize this will mean a lot more than a cosmetically revamped traditional Web site. When it does happen, a lot of you aren’t going to like it at first. There are a lot of things I won’t like so much either, but social media are were creativity is headed. It’s largely there already. I do believe, however, that ultimately nothing we enjoy now will be lost, and a lot will be gained. I hope it happens sooner than later, if only because I can stop worrying about it.

Jackie, it says “Sorry, something went wrong” when I tried to open it. I hope that means with the photo and not you.
Remember in Top Gun when Maverick rolled his F-14 inverted over the MiG, canopy to canopy, and Goose took a Polaroid picture of the Russian fighter’s cockpit? Was that real or was it Hollywood? Yeah…no.

Hmmn, that photo is public so far as I know and certainly opened for me just now. Would someone else not a member of Facebook try to open it?
Or does Facebook know who objects and retaliated?
I think this is the photo Jackie wanted to post: https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14322473_1660874247557643_1862783258848853481_n.jpg?oh=1aea709786cb575e7b1f6341f5783868&oe=58807983
Thank you Mark. Mark, is this what I look and dress like, at least part of the time? Natural hair, little to no makeup and a Furry dog.
Mark and I are arranging for me to come pick up his mom’s inside cats to move to Oklahoma. His mom is going to live with Mark’s brother and they cannot move with her. I hope they won’t hitch hike back to Alabama.
My brother’s also putting my mom’s house up for sale. This is where I have been living since I split with my wife. Anybody need a roommate?
And yes, that is pretty normal for you Jackie.
And both of you look very happy in that photo, Jackie. Dickens looks like he is nearly asleep in that sunshine.
JJ just tweeted that he will be at the Cooper Young Festival this weekend, Memphis,Tennessee. Table A245. Always nice to hear hometown news. 😉
Jackie: I’m non-FB, and this is what I got:
‘Sorry, something went wrong.
We’re working on it and we’ll get it fixed as soon as we can.’
But Mark’s URL worked. Peace,
Thanks. That is why Mark is smarter than Jackie.
Odd. I looked up “spoiled puppy” in the dictionary, and that photo of Dickens was by the definition. 🙂
eMb, you may not think you’re on VisageVolume, but I got a hit when I entered your name. I’m not on it either, but anyone can browse for names – but nonusers cannot see all the info associated with hits.
Your entry features a recognizable photo of you as well as several interests, educational background, and the like.
Jackie, no, I don’t think I’m smarter than you. Just different skill sets.
VisageVolume – I like it!
c x-p: I signed up once, but later asked to be removed. They still list me, and FB msgs. have become a pain in the neck. Does anyone know how to leave FB? I’ve no idea what my password and such were.
Peace,
If anyone has some spare $ to help a beginning 5th grade teacher (my daughter, BTW) buy a bit of technology for use in the classroom, please check this out:

Thanks!
Ghost, Dickens is indeed spoiled rotten and gets to sleep anywhere he likes and lick my toes.
Got to wind my way back to hotel so I need to put this phone on GPS so I don’t end up lost in lonely pines. Roads are narrow and obscure up here.
Safely back at hotel. Dickens ready for bed.
Jackie, look out over the water and see if the Sea Serpent returns tonight.
I registered for Pinterest recently, to see what it is. They send me pictures every day or so. Based on some (but not all) of the pictures, “Pinterest” must be Italian for “Porn”.
I think Pinterest bases it on the cookies of what you do elsewhere. They send me travel, hotels, music, art, food and fashion.
I get a lot of those things, too. But I don’t surf porn (my memory and imagination takes the place of that 🙂 ), so I don’t know where that’s coming from.
Mostly just soft-core female nudes. Perhaps they consider that “art”.
Debbe 😉 You probably know me pretty well by now; and I, you. Except, what other color string bikinis did you have besides orange? 🙂

Someone from my past just surfaced that I never dated. Wearing Oakleys and a black tee shirt. I have no idea how he found me. He was a good friend.
I mention this because he joined Facebook to get in touch with me, a huge sacrifice for him. To get my address and phone number he would do that. And here I have been throwing it out it would seem.
I wear black t-shirts, but Wiley X Valor ballistic glasses. 🙂
You don’t send me flowers nor music. Perhaps I don’t seem to need them.
Need to go to sleep. I have a date with one boat designer at 11 a.month. and another at 2 p.m. unfortunately both are business, refitting my boat and modifying it.
Richard says pilots make good sailors, boats move on air and wings, just point another direction. He says I need tall person to sail with, I am too short to see over cabin.
