This cartoon from ten years ago is a favorite of mine. You have until about noon EST today to ‘Work with Arlo & Janis!’ That’s all I’m going to say on the subject today. Tomorrow, we’ll start talking about reaping those rewards. I’ll be honest: it could be a tad chaotic, but we are committed to your satisfaction when all is said and done.

Wait, that’s OK, I didn’t date them! Forget about that! The state of Louisiana has been full of politicians I went to school with but did not date. And lawyers.
As far as I know, no one I dated has ever had her face on either a billboard or a mug shot, which suits me fine.
I would say none of them has an FBI file, but heck, who doesn’t? I’m sure I do.
Me too except the ones who killed someone like their wives or in laws and didn’t commit suicide as well.
Or the ones I dated whose wives killed them. They were all from good families and that’s my defense. Nothing like love, lust and money to fuel passions. You know how the south is.
I think you just dodged a bullet in relationships, Ghost. Mine were all juvenile indiscretions before you got going good, I stopped cold turkey!
Yeah, Bill Faulkner didn’t make up all that stuff, did he?
Well, I’m sure I’ve caught the attention of the FBI, at least for a few seconds. Today I began my orientation as a new employee at a state technical college… it included being electronically fingerprinted and having the prints and a photo submitted for an FBI background check.
Nope, he did not. The upper classes were one thing but there were others and they were worse in my opinion both in what they did to each other or was done to them. I think I will go read Rick Bragg for a little humor on subject.
Ah, children are resilient, right?

“Let’s do it again, Daddy!”
Reading Rick Bragg on Jerry Lee is like reading about a foreign land located about 30 miles from where I grew up.
Talk about a class of people so different, none of us ever met or came in contact, yet so close.
Educational and well written but not amusing.
A slightly cleaned up tale from someone on Quora:
What is the most satisfying passive-aggressive thing you have ever done to a really mean or rude person?
I’m British. I know how to queue.
So I was in a supermarket once, in the middle of a queue which went all the way around a corner. A woman came up and pushed in in front of me as I got to the ninety-degree bend.
She didn’t mistake it for the start of the queue, it wasn’t that kind of corner. The wall was actually a waist-high parade of baskets full of impulse-buys, like chocolates and so on, as shops are wont to display near the checkouts.
I could hear mutters and tuts from behind me but of course I couldn’t say anything directly (cf. British) so I started picking things off the shelves every time she wasn’t looking and put them in her trolley.
I started off small, like with a bag of crisps. People quickly cottoned on to what I was doing and I heard a few of the mutters change to noises of approval.
I ended up managing to put an entire umbrella in there. That got widespread laughter from the shop behind me but the woman was oblivious.
I rushed through the self-service tills as she went to a conventional human-powered checkout. She was clearly not paying attention because I was nearly out of the shop when I heard her say, “where the &^$@ did that come from?”
Here’s Jerry Lee in mid 60s which is about when he was playing while I was in college doing clubs, dances, any gig he could get. Not there in book yet.

That is the song that introduced him to the world at large and I loved the album (cd). Why is it that people who have a fantastic album rarely follow it up-Aaron Neville, Ricky Van Shelton, Simply Red?
The young ladies attempting to speak in his defense, or is it de wall, should remember, come November they have to look for another job. Why? Because they’re FIRED.
Already making excuses and threats. The election is rigged. There will be a march on Washington. He’ll sue.
Good morning Debbe.
The Olympics are off to a great start in Rio. No one could find the keys to the stadium so it took bolt cutters to get in. Not to worry. Everything is under control. I just need to lay down for a minute at the starting line. The water in the swimming pool is always that color. why do you ask?
