Time with Yeats
When You Are Old W. B. Yeats - 1865-1939 When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once,...
Odd little political story...
We have a nice grocery store in my town. It’s part of a small chain and it can be counted on for good product, decent prices and good service. It has young people who pack your groceries, car...
Great day....
.... in a manner of speaking. I had a fun conversation with Canadians. I have another hopefully fun conversation ahead with granddaughter Kate. I told my gasman jokes twice once to gasmen and I ...
A movie for you - free with ads -
… best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Of course I almost never watch movies but that doesn’t matter much. Keep your eyes open for the BMW porn. It’s a Roman Polanski movie from around 2010 - ...
New month
I meant to write yesterday. The month is my favorite unit of time. Not too long, not too short. You can do things in a month .... and then if you don’t do them, you have another month to try...
Communication with Photobucket?
This is one of my old Photobucket pictures. I think I might have Photobucket back. For $29.99 a year - already paid. Has anyone else heard from them lately?
Mr. Hitchens
I’ll put this here because no one cares what I do here. What do you think though - what would happen if I posted it on Facebook? Where my friends and neighbors and relatives all live?
My opinion - ha ha ha
DT and I finally have something in common. I am not a fan of MM either and I too wish Harry luck - BUT - what the ex-royal couple said does not endorse Biden. It could just as well be interpr...

‘beamer and beater alike’ = second best phrase this morning. First was ‘rough hewn locals’. I’m beginning to feel a little like I did about Open Diary. God, we need some creativity around he...
I'm in a mood.
Not a bad one. Edgy maybe. My life feels full right now. I have things to say and I think I might be able to sit still long enough to say at least some of them. Thank you for reading ab...
Out of the house - two days in a row!
I visited my brother’s grave yesterday - first time since his ashes were buried in the Minnesota Veterans Cemetery in Preston. It’s a new cemetery and it’s beautiful. The stone work was done...
Not more sane, but in a better mood
Oh my god - not another list!!!?? Guess so. Here goes — I ate a whole Amish apple pie in the last 24 hours. Half in daylight, half in dark. It was quite tasty - made with fresh apples, I bel...
Learn a new word...
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/11/12/transubstantiation Not transubstantiation, but petrichor, defined at the end. And this - http://www.susanfirer.com/ I’m stealing for you… but it’s s...
I am profoundly pissed
One too many syllables for the first line of an haiku. One too few for the middle line. Doesn’t work for the last line either. Feel free to argue with me about whether haiku deserves ‘a’ or ...
I know I'm being a pest.
But take a look and listen at this. It’s Bob Crosby’s band. He was Bing’s little brother and pretty good in his own right. The song Bing Noise in Winnetka came to my mind when I saw one of ...

Look at the hairlines I’ll be back in a bit. Meanwhile. Look at this.
God, look at this.
It’s only 27 seconds… Listen too. Let it run a couple times. It gets better with repetition. https://twitter.com/i/status/1289011112726454272 Is it Whitney? .....my mama said....
They're so cute when they're puppies....
…too bad they have to grow up. Oh heck. I was going to give you Mrs. Biden for equal time, but then I found this and it was charming as heck. Note - Dave plays the same number game with both ...

No news tonight. Uncomfortable feeling. I’ll write tomorrow.
July 19, 2020
Is 750 too many words? I’m sure entries can be written with fewer words. Good ones, insightful ones, ones that comfort both writer and reader. In the long run, it probably doesn’t matter. We...
