A family member has proclaimed they’ve had just about enough winter!
Grasshopper No.1 said she has had a craving for Captain Krunch cereal, smoked chubs and bananas. What the hell is that all about?
I have memorized the names of several famous people that were born on the same day in April as myself. Warren Spahn, the winningest left handed baseball pitcher of all time along with Shakespeare were born on the 23rd. Included in my list was Shirley Temple who as a child actress starred in movies in the 1930’s. She died yesterday at age 85. How can that be? She is still young and singing “On the Good Ship Lollypop”.
I have had trouble sneaking out of the house. The closet door near the garage squeeks. The back door to the garage squeeks. It has been difficult for me to “slip away” un-noticed. Yesterday I found a fresh can of 3 in 1 oil and changed all that. No more squeeks. No more embarrassing noise in escaping the house. I am free at last, free at last, free at last.
I was reminesceing with Grasshopper No. 3 about memorable gifts. In 1959, my then “to be” father in law (Grandpa George) gave me a set of “1/4 inch” rachet wrenches with extentions all fitting neatly into a little green metal box. I still have those wrenches today, 65 years later. Little did Grandpa George know how meaningful that gift was to become. Or, maybe he did?
What does a “smart” HDTV do? Does that mean my Sony is “dumb”?
Stay Warm,
Love,
Dad
