We have an honored guest.

 

Batman has come to visit, and he has claimed Karla's bed as his own.

His appearance makes for strange bedfellows. Just proves if you ignore it, it isn't a true and credible danger.

(And it makes a great excuse to not make my bed!)

Yay, Batman!!!

A more upbeat note:

Happy 83rd Birthday, Tina!

You will always rock those high heels!

Good Night, Irene

 

I'm gonna live forever

Baby, remember my name.

Irene Cara's "Fame" is unforgettable.

I will miss you, Irene.

Thought for the day

 "The boy throws stones at the frogs in jest. But the frogs die in earnest."

 by Joanna Russ (a quote from her mother).

I first read this many years ago. I was 9 or 10 years old. Soon before reading the quote, I had thrown a rock at flock of birds. And much to my shock, and I am sure to the shock of everyone who knows my great athletic prowess, I hit one of them.

I was wracked with remorse at the time: it didn't help reading this.

I have never thrown a stone at a living being again. (Note: I don't have to count the time in Kansas when I rammed a few quails with a rental car. It was an accident. The authorities opted not to detain me.)

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

As you down your Thanksgiving feast, be sure to take a moment to learn what really happened on the first Thanksgiving. Learn what happened to the Wampanoag people (and the other indigenous tribes) since the Europeans 'found' the new world.

It ain't pretty!

I'm not saying, "Don't celebrate", just keep the truth in mind.

I was just on YouTube

 Listening to Billie Holiday sing "Strange Fruit".

Reminded me of Montgomery, Alabama.

Sobering moment!

THE NEW COUNTERTOPS ARE HERE!!! THE NEW COUNTERTOPS ARE HERE!!!

 

I would be dancing on the countertops, but they told me I couldn't for the next twenty-four hours. After that, just watch out!!!

As with everything in my life, this is still undone. You may notice that there is about 3/4 of an inch gap between the countertop and the back splash. Now I have to find something to fill in the gap.

Why is nothing easy!

It was just an unfortunate incident from the very onset.

 I wasn’t expecting to get blindsided and trashed. Yes, I was in the bad side of town. I live in the bad side of town. What was I to do? Go sleep in my car in a more chichi part of town. I don’t think so.

It comes down to: he says, it says. He being me. It being a toilet possessed by the devil.

My story is that I was peacefully urinating into a receptacle that was designed for that purpose. The demon-possessed piece of porcelain then reached up and slapped me across the face with its seat. And then it stomped on my big toe.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Happy Birthday, dear Washington!

 

133 years old, and doesn't look a day over 119.

Party's on!

The Day After the Day After Election Day.

 I must admit, I am very pleased with the results from Tuesday.

We all won!

Whether you are liberal or moderate or conservative, Republican or Democrat, right wing or left wing: no bloc can claim a victory (although some are). But that also means there is no bloc that needs to hang its head and walk the walk of shame.

We all won!

Ain't America Great!

It's election day.

 SO VOTE!!!!!!!!

And remember we all will win!

All those damnable political ads will end!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

The monks are on the march!

 

From Richard's collection. I have a feeling they were his artwork, but I'm not positive.

They protect the kitchen now.

Begone ye spirits of the demon devil!
