I’ve been following my most favorite blogger/writer for a couple of years now. She’s such a hoot with her writing. You may have read some of her posts that I’ve shared with you during these past couple of years. I’ve learned that Susan Hipkins DeBow has been in the hospital for the last couple of days. It sounds heart related (“afib”). If my FB friends could keep her in mind, it would be greatly … [Read more...]
Airplane pilots joke
November 3, 2018 By
From two years ago.... Eddie Glaude Jr., chairman of Princeton’s African-American Studies Department, said the following on MSNBC: "I was in the airport coming from LSU—I gave a talk down in Baton Rouge, and . . . some guy stops. He’s talking to me about politics. And he says, you know, if there’s a crook who is going to go into the cockpit, who knows how to fly the plane, and then there’s an … [Read more...]

Random thought prior to the Little Girl’s visit
October 28, 2018 By
Friday night: nothing. Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night: nothing, sitting round the house. Sunday morning: tidying & cleaning the place because “company” is coming over, “highly” motivated, super-excited. Sunday Afternoon: three and a quarter very special hours with Lailah. Priceless! Sunday evening: still riding the wave from this afternoon. ==== And, poof, and just … [Read more...]
Laugh of the day – Lailah’s and the pumpkin
October 28, 2018 By
True story. Laugh of the day. To set this up, you have to be made aware that my short driveway is on a very slight incline. I go pick up Lailah from her parents house earlier this afternoon, we then went to the local grocery store, and bought two medium to large size pumpkins, and also some of the pumpkin decorating tools, and gizmos, a Halloween cookie baking mix, etc. I pull into the … [Read more...]
Movie – “The Post”
October 28, 2018 By
I don’t go to the movie theater as often as I used to. When I was in my twenties, I would go probably twice a month. In my thirties and forties, it became once a month. Now, in my fifties, I only go once in a blue moon (3-4 times a year). This could be due to a vast number of reasons, so we won’t go there, since that in, of itself, would detract from this post. However, exactly because I don’t … [Read more...]
Getting up early for work
October 25, 2018 By
It is “dark zero thirty” here on the bus, at 6:45 am. Senior management has scheduled a day long Demo session (by the vendor), starting at 8am, of the new application(s) we’ll be using in the near future. I do not like getting up at 6am, that is a perfectly good waste of precious REM sleep for me. We’ll see if I will fall asleep by mid afternoon, in the video conference room, with my fellow … [Read more...]
Bedroom lamps
October 24, 2018 By
Ok, in order to tell you tonight’s story, I have to fess up to something. Yesterday was the second “day one” of the 21 day new habit challenge (for me to kick the FB habit). I made it thru all (ok, most) of yesterday without getting onto FB. I believe I used it on the bus in the morning, but I did not get on the blasted thing last night, not one iota. Thereby freeing up dozens, if not hundreds, … [Read more...]
Facebook challenge – 21 days for a new habit to “take”
October 22, 2018 By
A former Unisys colleague of mine, posted something either last night or this morning, about it taking 21 days for a new habit to take hold. Sometime on the way home on the bus, I think, I was thinking to myself, self, let’s give this 21 day habit thing a try. “Let’s stay off FB for the next 21 days”, I said. I’m not going to tell you how many minutes I’ve spent scrolling tonight since I’ve … [Read more...]
