Good Morning.
This morning about 6:00 I went for my normal walk. It was still dark. A small white van pulled next to me and opened his window. I didn't see a gun or political poster so I assumed it was safe to go up to this vehicle.
There was a guy inside, not dirtbag looking and he looked at me and said in very broken English:
"Can I Help?" . I said "Help with what?" So he said: "Are you training?" and he raised his arms like he was lifting weights.
I said: "Yes, training, Eye of the Tiger and all that", and I lifted my arms like Rocky did in his movie when he ran to the top of the stairs.
The guy looked at me kind of weird and just drove away.
I assume he figured I was lost or my wife threw me out and I was rushing to get away.
But it's nice to know there are people around that still want to help you.
Good morning. Busy day today. Two nems being hand delivered, making some cream cheese carmel apple dip and a couple other things for a gathering this weekend.
Good Morning. This week our old friends (and I mean that literally and figuratively) all come here for a reunion. There are about 12 of them left and we all know each other from just out of high school. I even went out with some of them in my teens.
We used to have a big crowd and are all still friends. The girls "Ladies" went on a cruise and just got back. They will be at my house and my friends house next door for a couple of days so it will be hectic.
We had sleep over house guests twice in the last week so far so we are getting a little tired.
A frog hops into a bank. He can see from the teller’s nameplate that her name is Patty Whack. “Miss Whack, I’d like a $30,000 loan.” The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need collateral to secure the loan. The frog says, “Sure,” and he produces a tiny porcelain elephant. Very confused, Patty explains she’ll need to consult with the bank manager. “There’s a frog named Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral,” she tells him. She holds up the tiny elephant. “What in the world is this?”
The bank manager looks back at her and says with no hesitation, “It’s a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.”
(Okay, you can groan now or sing the verse.)
My morning walks are getting darker and darker. I walk down this quiet forest lined street long before sunrise every day that I don't walk on the beach.
This is about 20 minutes into my walk when it got light enough to take a picture
