On The DL

I know posting's been light lately...here's why.

Last week, we had folks in from the company we just bought for meetings. They were very productive meetings but there were lots of late nights at work getting ready and trying to catch up on stuff that got ignored while we were meeting.

Then on Friday, I went down with a bug. Down pretty hard, too. I felt like crap for about 48 hours. Here's how bad it was...I didn't even turn on my computer the whole time! That's got to be a record.

At least it didn't hit me until after our annual spring training game. I did manage to sneak out early with some of the boys to catch a game. Though, it wasn't my whole boy gang. One of them apparently thought it was more important to go on a business trip than to go a game with the Princess. Despite the fact that the Princess made the plans for everyone weeks ago.

He will pay, oh yes, he will.

I feel a lot sharper today, and more voluble, so I hope to get back to my usual posting (blathering) pace.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
