I Kept Wondering

Why The Ball Was

Floating Towards Me.


Then It Hit Me.

April 21st...

I Sold My Vacuum Cleaner...


It Was Just Gathering Dust.

This week's song comes from the 1955 movie, "Carmen Jones".
It's Pearl Bailey's "Beat Out Dat Rhythm On A Drum"...

Well, a couple of days.....

After sleeping pretty well earlier in the week despite all the appointments I had, Thursday I had to get up early.
I had a show, "Sleuth", up at the Guthrie Theater to see with my friend Neil, mrdreamjeans.
First alarm went off at 3 pm. I laid there until the second alarm went off at 3:30 pm, and then I got up and started getting ready.
I opened the medicine cabinet to get my toothbrush, and a bottle of shiny gold nail polish fell out and shattered in the sink. It splattered every where.
I cleaned up some of it, but I had to get ready to get out on the road.
Uneventful drive up to the show, until I got to Minneapolis.
I was sitting at a red light and I was looking over at something on the other side of the intersection.
The *itch behind me laid on her horn. I flipped her the bird and drove on.
She whipped over to the middle lane of the road, pulled up beside me, and purposefully swerved into my lane nearly hitting me.
I slammed on the brakes and hit my horn.
She then pulled across two lanes to the far right side of the road and took off.
So that *itch didn't even want/need to be in the lane I was in.
If I had an old junker of a can, it would have been so tempting to swerve back at her and hit her. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went on my way to the theater.
The show was okay. I enjoyed the first act much more then I did the second act. So the second half was kind of a let down.
Thankfully the drive home was uneventful.
When I got home I headed for the bathroom and started cleaning up the rest of the spilled nail polish.
Some how during that process I managed to cut the tip of my right index finger.
Talk about sore and makes typing or really doing much of anything with that finger so much fun.
This morning I fell asleep on the couch shortly before bedtime. I woke up about 1 1/2 hours later and crawled into bed.
I woke up some time later and looked back at my alarm clock and it was blank, aka no power.
I got up to go find my phone and no power in the whole house.
I picked up my phone and there was a weather alarm showing. We had been in another tornado warning and hour or so earlier. :o :o :o
I set my phone alarm and crawled back into bed.
Eventually got up and showered.
Checked the mail box and one of the things I got was a graduation party announcement for a neighbor boy.
This is from the family who a couple of years ago when I was without a car gave me a ride to work a couple of times and then told me that this situation was going to work for them, and I started spending a fortune on rental vehicles.
I haven't spoken to them since and vice versa, and now I am expected to give their child a graduation gift?

So how has your day or two been? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use to think the Hollywood Walk of Fame was super cool.

Then I heard that the stars given to special people.
They are basically bought by whoever wants one.

And now this story really sums up how laughable the Walk of Fame really is.....

Tornado Warning Until 9:45 pm.....

Juice Newton's song, "Angel of the Morning" was used in the 2016 "Deadpool".

Again.....

So i had my appointment with Occupational Medicine this morning.
Very nice doctor.
When I told him I had just been to Orthopedics and was told that I couldn't see them and had to see Occupational Medicine first, he laughed and said that's not true.
Who do you believe any more...
Anyway, he examined me and had some different thoughts about possible problems.
One outside chance possibility is a fracture of the patella or tibia.
He ordered therapy and suggested an MRI.

So if anybody is really bored Monday morning, I will gladly allow you to take my place.

I have both a CT Scan of the chest and now an MRI Scan of my left knee. :o :o :o

Any takers.....
