Hey Lil....
 

Guess who'es birthday it is again? :confused:


Do you think you'll look that good in 2052? :rolleyes:

Maybe you'll still look good in 2032 ......... :rolleyes2

Ok, so maybe 2022 ........... maybe December 2018?

Forget it! Didn't look as good as she does now in 1988. :banghead:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Sophia Loren!

She was a very sexy and beautiful lady …
and a great actress as well. Loved her
in Man of LaMancha! Fantastic Dulcinea!

PS … Howdy, PF! :wave:

Hiho DB :wave:

Just had to remind Lil of the sexy lady that has ALWAYS aged with the same grace and class that none other I've ever known of. ;)

(she's one of the only three great things that came from Italy )

… and the other two were??? :confused:

Pizza, Beretta, and Sophia Loren :nod:

I thought about the Lamborghini and the pizza … but the Beretta was a good choice, too. :thumbs:

I'm waiting for my transport to show up, so I can get to Capclave ( https://www.capclave.org/capclave/capclave18/ ), and set things up.

Sounds like you've got your weekend planned. Have a great time!

Gotta take our son to his doctor's appointment this morning. Should be just a normal checkup.

Wife is away for a couple of days for a training camp for work. Left yesterday, be back sometime Wednesday evening. I am left alone with the kids.

Got a limb that had broken and was dangling from a tree in our back yard, cut back so it was rubbing a power line to the house. With some pretty gusty winds, our power was flickering and we were afraid it'd bring the line down. Risk dramatically reduced now. :)

Bored as hell right now. Not much going on, no one to talk to, no transportation to get out not that I could go to many places today due to the storm damaged I caused around here. Just kind of stuck in the middle of bum fuck with no friends or neighbors I know or want to know. And basically I am just writing all this to vent and for something to do.

We'll keep hoping that things take an upturn soon ^^^^!

Gonna be a busy day. Lot's of running around. Oh well, it keeps me on the street (driving around, of course). :D

Got the leaves in my front yard cleaned up yesterday and feel the muscles getting even for putting them through that now. Oh well, a few days and we'll have to do it again so I guess I'd better get used to it. :(

So, there's this friend of mine, old band-mate, actually from when I used to play with a medieval & renaissance dance group.

On Thursday she got her citizenship papers, and naturally enough announced this on her blog. I pointed out that Maryland now has same-day registration during early voting.


Yesterday, she showed up at the early voting center I was working, registered, and voted.

Really made my day: I'll repeat the congratulations and thank you here anonymously.

Awesome!!!

She deserves the congrats, that's for sure. A tip of the hat from the heartland!

I was assigned Blanche from the Golden Girls for our group Halloween costume.

BOOOOO! Thought I'd swing by and scare you all! :yikes:

:yikes: I just about jumped up from my chair! :yikes:

Good to see you, Coaster! Don't be a stranger. :thumbs:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Today and tomorrow in Mexico are celebrated as "The Day of the Dead." The Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. The multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey. Dates, today, correspond to All Saints and All Souls Day.

This is the second day of "Dia de los Muertos" and also All Saints Day. I may not be here tomorrow morning. I'm on an overnight retreat tonight where I have to give a half-hour talk. I'm planning on coming home to sleep, but may or may not have time to get on to Pixies. In any case, I will see you Saturday night/Sunday morning. :wave:

Daylight Savings Time Ends At 2:00am Today
 

If you're on DST in the US or Canada, Daylight Savings time ended at 2:00am this morning (if it was in effect in your area.


Hey, it's an extra hours sleep. :)

Did you know … today is the 328th day of the year. How about that? :)

Today is 14th Anniversary with Girlfriend C.

Congratulations. It's also Wednesday (now) which means it's my early morning meeting day.

My uncle died last week. Been dealing with the fallout the past few days. Finally found out that there's not going to be any memorial service or anything like that. Kind of a relief, actually not having to deal with my dysfunctional family. Kicker is, though, long about a week ago, I got a hankering to call him up, see how he was getting along. Instead of doing this, I let myself get distracted by all the other shit going on in my life.

So, now I'm just kind of in the staring at the wall phase.

Very sorry to hear of your loss, gg. Seems like these things happen and even when expected they're not expected and whether a person is close to the deceased or not, there's always a bit of the sense of loss, probably because it reveals a real part of our humanity that we don't fully understand and maybe wish wasn't the case.

Anyway, God bless you and your family!

This.

That.

Did you realize that today is the 355th day of the year 2018 … meaning we only have 10 more days in this year? Boy, does time fly!

Feliz Navidad
 

Merry Christmas to all!!

jay-t, hope your Christmas was one of the best ever for you and your family! :thumbs:

Did you know that the English alphabet used to have only 24 letters. This was because an "I" was used for "J" and a "V" was used for "U". Found this is a new "OMG Facts" desktop calendar I got for Christmas. Fascinating stuff.

I didn't know that, DB. So, shovld we ivst vse them now? :D

Bye, now, I gotta run!

Glad you stopped by. Tell Mickey and Minnie and Clarabelle hello for us. :)

Looks like we've got a pretty nice week ahead of us here in the heartland. :thumbs:
