Another oldie from March of 1997, featuring a pre-adolescent Janis. Or we’re left to presume that is who it is. It is! This became a short storyline about Janis’ desire to return to her piano education. Notice the fourth panel. That’s how a cartoonist on deadline draws a piano! And it works. As I mentioned yesterday, Gene and his family return next week, and I expect we’ll talk about a lot of substantive stuff then, including that boat conversation I promised.

Debbe, I’m here. Been busy. Mom’s foot is healing, pain decreasing and her appetite is coming back. She is more willing to get up and walk now. All Good!
Jerry, report!. You have been away too long and we want to hear from you.
Micah 6:8, James 2:18. Peace,
Debbe π I’ve not only heard of “Asleep at The Wheel”, I once heard them perform live, at a rodeo. (Raise your hand if you’re surprised it wasn’t my first rodeo.)
Here’s another card you could post for the teens…”The beatings will continue until morale improves.”
Mark. YAY!! Very good news!
I understand B vs. S is pretty bad; this painting fits well. Peace,

Things have been quiet for over 8 hours here. Did everyone run off to see if B vs. S is awful?
What I don’t understand is anyone expecting a movie based on a comic book to have a consistently great storyline without plot holes or one-dimensional characters.
The previews look interesting. The reviews by professional reviewers are not so good, but that’s true of most non-traditional movies they get hold of. Reviews from people who are fans of the comics or these characters in particular, have been on the positive side. I hope to see it tomorrow, since I rather liked the previous Superman movie from this director.
Hey Debbe, here’s one for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmvtcjiN8aE&index=53&list=PL4b_3uIhCEK-im-LTOo20o4sesBW9VcD5

We are making progress on boats and just had dinner of fresh vegs and slivered steak and chicken cooked by one of our volunteers. We are doing lunch at the boat shop every day and a happy hour at 5 pm when work stops and machinery stops.
Way to go, Jackie!! Glad to hear of progress.
Good to hear from you Jackie
I am determined to do this. Right hip decided to go out. Gee, which body part do we fix first?
Great news is my tumor is benign so I don’t have to have it removed and they will continue to watch it for growth and if it becomes too large or keeps growing we consider it then.
Boo, hip! Yay, tumor! If you had to pick one, that’s surely the way to go. Hang in there, but don’t try to do too much.
Good Caturday Morning…..
Jackie…tumor? Did I miss something? Hip went out? Girl, you just keep on ‘truckin’ (there’s a song there π ) Like Nancy, don’t try to overdue yourself. Baby steps, Jackie. We want you back in OK safe and sound.
Oh, Mark, that is good news on your Mother. You sure stirred up some memoreis with your two links…..loved to watch Midnight Special and also Austin City Limits…..try this one on for size:

GR π not your first rodeo….. π they are a good ‘swinging, boogie band….first time I saw them perform was on PBS’s Austin City Limits….see above link.
Started on the quotes on a large index card. I will tape it too the wall right next to where I stand picking eggs up off the take away conveyor…..
Off today but work tomorrow……
Oh, and Nancy, I couldn’t stand the beating last night so I went to bed about 5 minutes into the game, IU played like 5th graders….still hope for Indiana though….go Notre Dame…….
I read an article this morning on B. Knight about packing a rifle one time to practice…..ya have to admit, he did put IU on the map.
later…………..
Debbe, Jackie has thyroid nodules which her doctors are watching. One showed enlargement last time she went in, so they brought her back for biopsy.
I used to watch Midnight Special whenever I could. Think I watched both first and last show. Last night I searched on YouTube and found they had a Lot of clips from the show on there.
Glad you are doing well. Will listen to Jerry Jeff later. I just finished eating my breakfast, now I have to feed the outside cats. Looks kind of like Jackie’s cat buffet on our front porch too.
Going to be sunny and high 70’s today. Whee! T-shirt weather.
I saw a show on a cable a few years ago trying to prove or disprove the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was interesting coming from a scientific perspective. I assumed that they would end by saying that it was totally a matter of opinion, which they kind of did.
But one lady who was an “expert” and had been really cautious throughout the show said something like this “Maybe there were a few things that might not have happened as written, but SOMETHING happen 2000 years ago or else the story would have died within a few generations”. As a believer, I have always enjoyed that statement.
Debbe π Since “Spring” is known around these parts as “Pollen Allergy Season”, I took a single Benadryl tab (a/k/a Ghost’s Time Release Opium…it knocks me on my butt) last night and fell asleep before I posted your song. So here it is…Bonnie gets the Blues.

Oh, and didn’t you mention something about a day off?
Just when I think the entire world has turned into a frickin’ Monty Python skit, I run across something like this.

With myself and my brother by her side, my mother passed away at 6:30 am on March 20, 2016. Her funeral was Thursday afternoon. I thought that I knew what this would be like, but I was wrong.
Oh Jerry, I am so sorry. Good that you and your brother were with her. Did she know you were there? 6:30 am — so early — were you there all night?
Peace be with you, Jerry, and to the rest of the family, too.
