"Old dogs 'n children 'n watermelon wine".....The Bard of Olive Hill, Ky, Mr. Tom T. Hall


“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And, if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.”  Mark Twain

So, I wuz chided, ever so gently, about my dearth of blogs over the last few weeks…I c’n truthfully say that it wudn’t my first rodeo having been chided more times than I c’n count, but hardly ever for a dearth of words…why, in my mis-spent youth, I s’pect I wuz chided on a daily basis ’n often enuff, multiple times on that same daily basis…’course, over the years, the chiders tend to leave you alone as there are always more ’n younger offenders to chide…
Anyhow, I had to admit that I have been sumwhat remiss the last few months, certainly not blogging anywhere near a daily basis ’n even more to the point where I ain’t even been blogging on a weekly basis….
That said, I really didn’t think that anybody had ackshully noticed so when I wuz chided, I found m’self being a little bit flattered, only a little bit, mind you becuz ever’ time I get to patting m’self on the back, Karma steps in ’n straightens me out….
So, here goes a quick run-down
Friday evening dinner with Billananigan followed by theater in the park…can barely believe that I ackshully sat thru a performance(?) of The Brain from Planet X (not for children but certainly funny for childish adults) AND then the very next day a birthday party at THE  ZOO, also with Billananigan in attendance ’n it wuz a 70th birthday at that…AND the next day, a birthday party for a four year old which, if you happen t'be a devotee of real birthday parties which I just happen to qualify for, in part because of my advanced age but mostly becuz I had the good fortune, due to four children 'n their friends which allowed me to memorize the song, Happy Birthday...
Anyhow, the hostess had been planning the event for some time 'n dreading it a little becuz the forecast wuz for triple digit weather but turned out coolish ’n damp thanks to the southwestern monsoon which kind’a sneaked up from Arizona…I blame Angela Crangela for that but ackshully enjoyed it…nice change of pace here in norCal….
T’day wuz kind’a like return to normal….a couple S&P’s with da boyz, just another pleasant day here in Olde Fair Oakes….

“The best information comes from children for they tell all they know ’n then stop.” Mark Twain
