That Synching Feeling

By Jimmy Johnson

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
My friends, I hope things are getting better for you, wherever you are. Spring weather finally has arrived here. I sat on my front porch last night until well past dark, and it gets dark later these days, you know. You can almost see the buds growing on shrubs and trees. The groundhog in the ditch has been receiving, and the birds are going berserk. The window of my office is open as I write this, and it’s going to be very difficult to get much paying work done today. I repeat: I hope things are better for you, too.

    True, Steve. Which brings us to this, which is used quite often around the shop…sometimes ironically and sometimes not so much.

    Debbe ๐Ÿ˜‰ You’re welcome, and thanks for the tune, hon. Yeah, I’d gotten out of the habit of sending you songs, but I may still have a few in my playlists. I thought about you last evening when I was looking at a new issue of one of my cooking magazines featuring breakfast recipes and some facts about eggs. One of which is that double-yoke eggs are usually produced by young hens.

    Happy Payday and “pop a top again” for me this evening.

    Lady Mindy, I’ve missed your erudite comments around these parts lately. Of course, I understand…how much can one say about snow? ๐Ÿ™‚

    So, how did The Mop winter over, and do you have any exciting plans for it for the spring?

    The Great Weight Loss Project continues apace, with a total loss of 11.8 pounds since January 1, even thought the rate has leveled off a bit the past two weeks. That’s to be expected from time to time with any weight loss program, but I actually blame it on reading all Jackie’s descriptions of the wonderful food she has encountered and enjoyed on her trip. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Granny Carol, I too am sorry for your loss. A friend of mine calls her pets her fur children, and I think she is right. They become a part of our family.

    My favorite Terry Prachett books are Hogfather, Mort, and Good Omens. I would also suggest the videos for Hogfather and Going Postal.

    Trapper Jean: the first time I saw the Hogfather video, I thought I had seen it before since it so perfectly matched what I had “seen” when I read it. I’ll have to look for Going Postal.
