Making a backward American ‘peace’ sign in Ireland is not advisable.

It was 56 years ago today that The Beatles arrived in New York for their first Sullivan show and tour. BEA, British European Airways, had given them Beatles carryon bags, George and John are seen with them in the middle image. The Beatle marketing craze begins, a lot of money was made off them.

Memory reminds me Fridays is an all fingers all toes accounting among the GOFs.

And reporting heart and vascular imaging finds all areas they examined to be normal. That's a green light to the procedure on the foot. The name of that joint and how it works only became important when it became necessary to talk about it in a technical sense. A name was unnecessary for me, because it already made itself known without radiology's help.

Otherwise looking good, feeling good apart from the chronic onset of age that is part of the deal. ("I told you to have legal go over all life contracts that come through this office exclamation point bang howdy")

Thanks for reminding me @Morrighan :)

Attention all GOF's! Report in that all/or some/or maybe how many toes fingers and appendages are accounted for, and weekend plans please. Carey and I are doing our continuous small home cleanup. We buy too much in the winter and it always feels like something is falling out of some cupboard somewhere. But it feels great to get it done. Weather is around 30 degrees F here.

Tomorrow we are going to see 1917. My grandfather was in The Great War. Dad was in WWII. I missed Vietnam by a hair. Half of my AIT company went to Vietnam and the other half (including me) went to West Germany. Anyway, we went to historic war sites while I was in the Army compliments of American Express weekend tours that were inexpensive designed to keep young soldiers out of trouble LOL.

Sunday is always our day of rest. Hopefully we'll get a hunk of dead beast and slow-cook a roast, watch an English show we love called 'Call the Midwife.' We are excited about Season 4 of The Crown.

We are in the middle of a snow storm. There was a foot (30cm+) on the ground this morning, it has been coming down heavily all day and will continue into tomorrow. Walking is difficult, not sure how bad till tonight when I have to run some errands.

I’m ticked off with Amazon. Ordered a part, not fulfilled by amazon. Tried to find out where the seller was located but couldn’t. Placed the order only to see on the invoice that it is coming from Turkey. Free shipping but turns out no tracking, delivery at the end of February. They weren’t up front with any of this. The order was placed with this vendor because of the positive reviews, the others looked bad. I wonder how many of these reviews are fake. Will I have to pay duty and taxes and handling charges? Don’t know. Today I need a fibre optic audio cable for a speaker. Will be looking locally.

My mother always told me to save my saucy language for when I mean it. Otherwise it loses the intended impact. Some people collect choice words in multiple languages to keep at the ready. Best kept in the wardrobe, those fauns just freak out.

My Mother to me "Eat your $<"(>,g Peas or I will beat your !@@!" Nice language from a Milwaukee Opera Soprano!
My Dad would just shrug.
My grandfather (a CPO in the Danish Navy) would give the OK sign.

All fingers, toes and ... other, uh ... accoutrements are doing just fine, thankyewverramuch.

Only plans are the regular weekly church gigs, which lately includes Sunday and Wednesday nights in addition to the normal two Sunday morning services. I kinda miss the MD/WL since he always covered the Sunday and Wednesday night services by himself or with the Youth Band. But he took the cream of our Youth Band with him to another church, then left there, too! So, I'm expecting at least some of them back any time now. Yep, just any day now, . . . . could happen, . . . . any ... time ... . . . .

I just locked in the routing plugs, filled the neck screw holes on the body, and anchored the bridge screws. Boy does it smell like Epoxy in here! I think I will have my afternoon natural breathing exercises (as described in a earlier post) in here just to get rid of glue smell. The only bright spot of a bone marrow transplant = natural breathing exercises! I love that Term. So does my brother who lives in Kirby Tx.
