Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In case you’re wondering, there really is such a thing as a “clurichaun.” I mean, there’s such a thing as a mythical Irish fairy called a “clurichaun.” I tell you: the things you have to know to be a cartoonist! Mostly, you have to know how to get to the Google search page. If it seems I’m chronically nostalgic for all things pre-digital, let me tell you how cartoonists used to do things. They actually kept catalogs and files of clippings at hand, just so they’d know how to draw, say, a lawn mower. Now? Pffft! Google “lawn mower” and instantly see images of just about every type of lawn mower ever invented or imagined. Also back then, every good cartoonist’s shelves groaned with dictionaries and thesauruses and encyclopedias! Now, it’s dust and old Beanie Babies.

I just mean the exercise and stretching might help him be more comfortable.
Inquiring minds want to know how you know what a Clurichaun is 🙂
Oh, Smigz, yes we do. Getting up and walking, is about all he can do without getting ‘winded’.
And yes, I’ve thought about bar bells, cans of soup, fruit for him to lift…and you are so right about the stretching and exercise (not to mention he loves to have his back scratched)…I have Dad walking quite a bit during the day, we make (different times) at least three rounds around the kitchen table…from the back sun room to the front porch…and when it was really nice and comfortably warm outside, we would get out and walk…a little.
Husband and his brother (who is still there) both are experiencing prostate issues….remind me tomorrow to get a gun permit…..no just kidding 🙂
Nancy from AZ…still in the tourney…
…and Smigz, thank you so much for your input…I genuinely mean that
…have to paste..forgot what I’ve cut/copied…

Dear cxp, I know I had your Email address but I don’t seem to have it any more. Some computer crashes and episodes of my ineptness has made it go away, I guess. Could you just send me an Email, anything, and then I’ll be careful to get the address into the Contacts or Address Book, then I can do what emb suggests.
Oh, Symply Fargone, must tell you that one of my daughters is going to the Green Day concert in Worcester tonight. She is driving down from Colchester, Vermont and is meeting her niece and nephew there (some of my grandchildren.) These kids are in their twenties and have their own cars. Granddaughter Jessica is a big fan of Green Day and Aunt Alice bought the tickets as a present for her. They are going to stay in a hotel after the concert, and tomorrow Alice is coming to visit me in Derry. Jessica lives and works in Portsmouth NH and Christopher lives in Manchester NH. I hope they all have a good time!
To all the Villagers, happy St Patrick’s Day. Must share with you that 60 years ago today my husband and I moved into the home that I am still living in now! We had two little boys then and welcomed five little girls in the next few years. Yes, we moved in on St. Patrick’s Day, easy to remember.
McGhost,
I cooked a corned brisket flat this morning. Cooled it and made Reuben sandwiches for lunch. Corned beef and cabbage is on the menu tonight, with corned beef hash set for breakfast! I’m not Irish and I know it isn’t traditional Irish but I like it anyway. We ate corned beef when I was a kid just because it was cheap (as I’m sure I’ve said– my parents were teachers) and being from Arkansas with time in Missouri, we didn’t slow smoke brisket. Since I’ve transplanted to Texas I eat much more smoked brisket than corned.

Check your email, Charlotte – or did you change addresses?!
Debbe:
From yesterday: “Rick,,two photos…do you have them framed?”
Yes, I do, but they are in a fire-resistant lockbox.
Not only do I want to protect them from fire and humidity, but I also want to keep them away from sunlight.
Jimmy wrote that he is “chronically nostalgic for all things pre-digital.” To a degree, I understand that sentiment.
About the only thing that I like from my Dark Ages is LP albums.
The sound did seem warmer and more full for some reason, and the art and liner notes could be properly enjoyed.
After that, there is not one single material thing in the past that I miss, and I am anxious to see what the true geniuses will give us next week.
Life is getting better all the time.
Managed to not eat corned beef at all today and I love it. Of course I have never drunk green beer in my life. I would drink a green Margarita or green wine cooler or eat a slice of green key lime pie but those aren’t Irish.
Of course we just established neither is corned beef nor green beer so I suppose anything green counts. I did have a large green salad with green apples, walnuts, cranberries, raspberries, blue cheese, almonds, pecans and cashews, dried red peppers and onions and a little bit of chicken. The low fat Vidalia onion dressing was delicious.
Had some Irish soda bread too. Is it really Irish?
Debbe, some Irish performers doing non-Irish music for you:

Boat? What boat?
What boat? Did I forget a boat?
Arlo’s boat!
GM Debbe
We’re Adults –

When did that happen?
and how do we make it stop?
“Remember the boat?”
Time to cue up GFR’s “I’m Your Captain/Closer to Home.”
Unfortunately, the reality-time continuum is always moving forward, and the end is always near.
For all of us.
Good morning Villagers….
Love today’s real time…boat?????
Much needed sleep was ‘got’ last night…..Amen!
Why, Mark, thank you…bookmarked it, and will check out more of their music..
Rick…yeah yeah, yeah….had the album, and it was actually gold colored vinyl….and a great philosophy there
Cue in “No Time”…..
later……need to check out my bracket 🙂
A Saturday morning cliffhanger, “remember the boat.” Leaves one’s mind reeling with possibilities. Hell, there might even be a new T-shirt coming out. 😉
Oh, you mean the schooner I said, I don’t know how many years ago, Arlo should have dubbed “The Flying Dutchman”, after the legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever? Because that was apparently what happened to it?
