Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[Passinwind]

It looks good. I wonder about those sort of internet based downloading sites. My fear is security. You don’t know who owns them and what they might piggyback with the video onto your computer.

Oh, you mean Google/YouTube I take it?

When did you notice that your pants were on backwards? When you sat down? BTW, how is your sister doing these days? (just kidding, of course...)

As I recall, when he was told that his pants were on backwards, he insisted that they weren’t. The teacher told him to go to the washroom and turn his pants around.

My wife technically doesn't dress me (no matter how much I beg), but she does roundly critique my apparel choices under the guise of helping the colorblind! The few times I get to dress without her help she shakes her head and gives me this pitiable look like, "You poor ragged waif!"

Not knowing light from dark and colors is a good excuse for never having to sort the laundry.

Pants with back or side closures are typically the territory of the ladies.

Which side would his pants be on fire?

The opposite side of hair on fire.

"Attire" is one of those words that is only used in the Yellow Pages.

"Clothing"

well past the days of newspaper japes
I'm nursing a lemonade in Las Vegas. Overhear a gentleman to my left remark decisively about a Yellow Pages convention in the hotel. Order another lemonade because my day was spent as the demo dolly for Yellow Pages pagination. Look at how effortless it is ....

The rules for ad placement are understood easily enough to code on software that is barely out of alpha. Oh please, another lemonade, please

edit ... suppose it is a great deal better than my friend who crushes cans all day. It's soda pressing.

Whatever you do, don’t play with matches in the back seat of your pants.

Isn't it easier to simply have your wife dress you?

She put me in Garanimals many years ago.

So now you're talking in third person pronouns?

Attire!

Just finished reading "The Guardian" - John Grisham. Great story as are all of his books I've read. I had read all of his books up through about 2008. It was easy to get a lot of reading with 80 mins of train ride five days a week for about five yrs.

Time to sign in to the library for another book!

Are you a seal clubber?

No, silly. Seals can't read. They wouldn't have any reason to be in a library.

Howdy hi

yes Monday was my followup appointment for the subtalar fusion procedure I had so much fun with. Given all the doctors I've seen of late, this visit was not particularly high on a personal worries list. Orthopedic surgeons are now out of rotation. We're done, the surgery is a qualified sucess, blah blah blah

That works for me. Far as I can discern, everyone's pleased when a medical procedure works out satisfactorily.

So Sunday was the monthly Ask Ari Zoom with the cohort breakout rooms. When all this malarkey was in full bloom, I notified the head coach etc. and asked for a substitute coach in my absence. From the moment of hospital admission at 11:11 am (yes, I looked), it is entirely unclear how long I'll be out of commission.

What I know at the time is I'm in Chicago in a few days and I'm busting out of here.

And show up for the cohort breakouts, because. Made sure my coach, the head coach &c were properly informed of my verticality when I returned from Chicago.

All the MTftBP summer cohort students are on-screen, and the head coach asks how I am.

It was the salmon mousse, I reply, and laugh

Good news that they won’t have to screw with you anymore.

Maybe you can offer to provide instruction on playing flat on your back. I’ve played this way and it’s a very different perspective. Different line of sight, different muscles are involved.

Musicians often do their best work in the early days when they are hungryand uncomfortable. When they become rich with too many soft pillows, their writing reflects that.

Literal screws. Two of them in my heel. One backed out a centimeter or so but it all works, and there's no pain.

What we go through ....

 

[Winslow]

Literal screws. Two of them in my heel. One backed out a centimeter or so...

She said it herself, folks.


Morrighan has a screw loose.



(I swear I'm not picking on you; You just set these up so nicely, it's hard not to swing at 'em.)
