I stopped by this morning to unlock the door and turn on the lights, but I can’t stay long. I’m on the road for a couple of days. No, I am not at the beach as are Arlo and Janis in the above oldie from 2010. I wish! However, speaking of leisure, et al, I have not forgotten our discussion about the work status of our friends. In fact, I have enjoyed thinking about it and look forward to sharing my thoughts with you. That’s why I’m not going to rush into it now. In a day or two, I’ll have more time to spend on the subject. See you then! And please, try not to break anything.

Is it THAT early? God bless us every one. God bless the USA.
We’ll be careful……
In my mind, 2010 doesn’t count as an oldie. I have socks that are that old! Ate my first homegrown tomatoes of the year last night. Since Facebook is best used for pictures of food and cat videos, here’s a public link to the post:

Ok, sorry for all the background static (anyone still listen to AM radio?). Seems I’m no longer technically qualified to post a working link… anyway, I had the tomatoes on a BBTT. Thats a bacon, bacon, tomato & tomato sandwich.

She sells seashells by the seashore;
Some are red while others are blue.
She sells seashells by the seashore.
Isn’t that a silly thing to do?
Selling shells by the sea is humorous,
‘Cause the shells in the sand are numerous.
So if you plan to sell any shells by the sea,
You aren’t going to sell many shells to me.
She sells seashells by the seashore;
Some are red while others are blue.
She sells seashells by the seashore.
Now let me put it to you:

Thanks for leaving the door open and the lights on, Jimmy! We ‘preciate it! Safe travels!
Symply, Holy Moses, that was a lot of surgical stuff! I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was four. All I remember is lots of bleeding, a sore throat, and more bleeding. Oh, and my Dad’s frustration because he kept giving me ice cubes to suck on and I would say they tasted “hot.” I finally figured out a few years ago probably why they tasted that way: he was a heavy smoker and carried each ice cube in his fingers from the kitchen to me in the living room. I think the melting ice cube picked up the taste of cigarette smoke from his fingers and therefore tasted funny to me. Anyway, Symply, thanks for sharing your experience with the surgery. All of you folks have experienced benefits from it; I’m now sure I will, too.
Gosh darn it, David! It’s been so cold up here that I don’t even have tomato plants in the ground yet! Those tomatoes sure look good!
Debbe, I miss Jerry and some of our regulars, too. And is Ghost off doing ghostly things?
DJJG, your She sells poem reminded me of this song, which is also titled She Sells.

I was hoping to fly to Norfolk for my sister-in-law’s memorial on May 23rd. However yesterday I found out that I need to fly to Valencia Spain for a one day conference. Other people were backing out and I ended up being the most logical candidate. I would be back in time for the Memorial, but I told my brother that I would come back later in June when I need to be in town and I’ll spend an evening with him.
So you can count me as “Not Retired!”

Good point: https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18342820_10155203803399804_339259834202426615_n.jpg?oh=8946826e487a1add5c710dafca4d3fe9&oe=59BD40D9
Happy travels, Steve. Don’t let this be you: https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p480x480/18268092_1490904380977239_3167609297428049375_n.jpg?oh=b632733cee154ad68318ae15d4d3e88e&oe=59B6F86C
Frabjous Day!!!!!! Been waiting for two years for a turn at a video conference with a judge on my VA appeal. Got a letter from the regional office today saying I am scheduled for 5 June finally. Better news. Everyone involved, Veteran Service Officer, lawyer, everyone, has been saying it would be a five hour drive one way to a strange large city. Turns out I will have a fifteen minute drive to a city I know well. I will cancel everything else for that day, pray like crazy and go make my best appearance with my VFW lawyer. Win, lose or draw this case has had a long winding road since 2005.
Spent afternoon looking at homes in the historic district of Quincy, IL. Had brunch with Michele and Jack. She made fresh French toast on French bread with confectioners sugar and strawberries. Very elegant really.
Then toured two homes for sale.
I know about the B. Orioles but it looks like we shared a Bluejay, probably not equitably. Hope the 2 smaller kids make it. Peace,

YAY Ursen! Wonderful, you have waited so long. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! Rooting for you to win your case and have a good outcome. I bet you are happy, but nervous.
Callooh! Callay! I hope all goes your way!
Best wishes for a fair ejudication, Ursen.
Jackie, what are you up to now? Unpredictable is your middle name. You are having lots of fun, that’s the best thing … good for you. Just in time for Mothers Day.
Sunday is the Mothers Day concert of the Bemidji Chorale, ice cream social, FYO. Good group. Peace,

Janis reminds me of people I’ve seen at ball games. Instead of enjoying the action and scenery around them, they are transfixed by the small screen of imitation reality in their hands.
I must be getting old.
The house next door to Michele, Jack and Brandon. It is historic home on the primary street in historic district. The owner is college football coach and suddenly changed colleges. House on market 24 hours.
