I just sent the following to a friend in response to something else, and decided what the hell, I may as well share it here:
I was so busy, I didn't even have time to give feral sons Uday and
Qusay their daily beating.
Spent a needed day with wifey. Went to the outdoor
farmer's market yesterday
morning in the heart of Hudson. Took our goodies home after
making fast friends with a happy poodle pup we met along the way, and then went
to
the art fair -- we always get our Christmas cards from a
local artist who does home-towny Thomas Kincaid-type stuff we're suckers for.
Then went to visit my Mom. She got out of the hospital a week ago after having
her knee replaced. Visited, went grocery shopping for her, then found out
she forgot her cell phone charge cord at the recovery hospital-- they couldn't
find it so we had to buy a new one.
After that it was time to grill bacon cheeseburgers in time to leave by 7, when
we went to Blossom --every year I get her Cleveland
Symphony Orchestra summer season tickets, and we take out lawn chairs and listen under
the stars, last night to Bach and Liszt, followed by the main event, Carmina
Burana, which I just then realized is where Milius got some of the music for
his Conan the Barbarian movie.
We got home in time for me to light a cigar on the back porch, pour a couple
fingers of the good stuff, and continue my appreciation for the arts and
culture by watching horror host
Svengoolie
present "Abbot and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
I hope with all the negative crap we feel compelled to devote so much of
ourselves to dealing with, you find time for soul restoration and just plain
enjoyment for its own sake.
