I’m still mining Sundays from 10 years ago. I thought you might be interested to know that the big Web-page makeover that I’ve talked about recently (and have talked about off and on in the past) might really happen this time. If it doesn’t, I just wasted money on a retainer I paid to some fine young people who’re going to help me put it all together technically. Of course, I learned I’m still going to have to provide the content. Sheesh! It isn’t scheduled to roll out until spring, possibly even late spring, and I have no idea what it will look like, because I’ve yet to come up with a concept and the artwork to support it—that “content” bugaboo I mentioned. However, I will keep you posted as events warrant.

Good night with a little music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i71P8kYPwWA
Thanks for reminding me that my favorite gastroenterologist is waiting for me to make another colonoscopy appointment. Depending on what he finds each time, he lets me go for as little as 6 months up to 3 years. This is the end of a 3-year gap, and I pray his judgement last time was good!
CEP, we seem to have some weird sleeping patterns in this group! Elderly grouchy black and white fox hound gets out in yard and barks so annoyingly I get up to see if I need to call the cops, then I am awake and can’t get back to sleep.
Hey Matt in Maine, I kept thinking this and forgot to ask: you are not the Matt who works for Wooden Boat Magazine by any chance, are you? I noted your comment about trying to learn something at Brooklin sailing class and obviously I am hoping to! The first time I saw Brooklin was so long ago that WB school was in it’s infancy. Must have been in days of the windjammers, as we were on the Mary Day. I swore I would return someday and take a class and I also swore that someday I would come back and sail the Mary Day again. I can do both of course now through the WB school but who wants to exhaust their Bucket List in first year?
Leave something still to anticipate!
Good morning Villagers….
Gal….I don’t know what to say what others have already said. You are a special lady and were blessed to have had Jerry in your life….just remember that, and prayers from all of here are on their way. I remember you telling us how you came upon your name, Galiglo, Jerry came up with it.
It’s Caturday…and a day with two teenager….gonna work them to death. Going to try and slip away to go to the church where my Great Aunt is laid out and pay my respects. Ninety three years old, and the last few years were not a quality of life…may she rest in peace.
later……………
God’s love and blessings on all….
Denise….that is a good idea about the cloth, may try that too
Good morning Debbe! Your great aunt was same age as my mom. I have one great aunt still going down in Florida, over a hundred for sure if I could determine which birthday she gave that is actually her “true” age. Wears blonde Dolly Parton wigs, white pants suits and white go go boots with high heels. Now there is a refusal to act her age if there ever was one.
I used to inherit her clothes when I was a teenager sometimes, as I was only one with a small enough waist to wear them. Can you imagine, she is still claiming an 18 inch waist? Not me but I can hope perhaps, given a miracle.
Have been reading Ludwig cartoons over on some cat sites it seems? So, there are cat videos, cat photos, cat cartoons and Caterday. I used to visit a gift shop I loved called The Cat House where obviously all the merchandise was of cat lady giftable status.
Love, Jackie
Works to capture cats too if cloth is big enough. Fishing nets and bait casting nets, not so good.
Apparently the colorist didn’t have Arlo’s attention either. The grey knife turned into an extra-long, flesh-colored, metal phalange.
Close eye, Mindy! I missed that!
Letting car warm up…you know there’s something to be said about the above retro…..you can’t slam shut a Kindle 🙂
And, again, I don’t understand today’s real time strip.
Jackie, Id’ thought of a fishing net, but that would be too hazardous on my girls…I have a row of about three cages that when I hold up an egg to them….they go stark raving mad, poking at it, then I crack it a little and then the pecking begins…sometimes my fingers get in the way…..the little cannibals.
Jackie, I also had thought about your mother’s age too.
We don’t have this issue with our cat for meal time. We just ask him if he wants his Fancy Feast and he does a somersault. I think that they put crack in it.

Steve, how beautiful. The songs that follow the cat trick I listened to them all, one right after the other. You are so blessed, my friend. And to have this to share. And sometimes I think what a blessing the Village has been to me, led here by a comic strip and another form of talent.
The world often does move in strange and mysterious ways if we listen and open our hearts and souls.
Love, Jackie
Seek and you may find. Drift with the currents and you will discover.
One can worship in cathedrals not made by man, alone or sometimes with others.
Jackie 🙂
OF due 1051-1111 CST. Foggy now, but that may dissipate. Peace, emb

Debbe, I’m happy that your Great-aunt is at peace and know that she will always be with you. Was she the baby of her family?. It seems she might have been, given her age.
“St. Jackquline was “almost a saint” and I laugh at that pretty often too. She is a saint in waiting, the woman behind St. Francis of Assisi, a great favorite of mine.
“Behind ever great man there is an even stronger woman.”
And looking over her shoulder a picky copy editor. Jacqueline? every?
I love that “almost a saint.” Reminds me of Bill Cosby’s line, “Hey, you, almost a doctor!”, possibly in his tonsillectomy routine. “Ice cream.”
Peace, emb
