I've got the lo-down hot n lazy blues - How to gather useless items - A documentary

Today is Tuesday, July 30, 2019.

I'm sure our metabolism gets lower when it's hot outside.

Went out to my car which had six bird poop stains on it.

Very hard to get off until you really work on it, which I did, with a rag that used to be a camisole.

My mother will be 97 on 8-8-22.

My sister Donna organized a timetable where the sisters will care for her for six hours a day.

My day is Weds. I made my bean soup and bought a salad wrapped in a plastic container as thick as a tomb.

But don't believe ME, let's have Larry Davidson show you.

It may take a long time to load Larry's page.

A Bayada nurse came out to the house and said Mom has some liquid on her lungs. Why? Because she never moves!

For sure, she's in a lot of pain. A terrible amount of pain. Perhaps someone should come out to the house - darn, Cousin Leonard just died, and so did Donny Garber - but we could push her in a wheelchair and even TAKE HER OUTSIDE so she can get some sun.

She's a lot of fun to talk to and I do enjoy being with her.

DRINK YOUR GODDAM water, Mum, she must be reminded.

I brought this U S  Map to my volunteer job where a woman from Moscow said she wanted it.

Now that would certainly be a great name for a new story I could write. The Woman from Moscow. I was thinking however of writing about the PEA POD truck from the Giant supermarket.

Today I received 9 useless mailings. Yes, if you discard them in the trash, they will be made into park benches. Super!

Still, see if you can use them.

Book marks:  If you like a doctor save them for book marks. I wonder how Karl Rickles is doing.


Not bad for a man in his mid-nineties.

He's a devout Catholic.

As many of you know, I like making my own greeting cards and postcards.

This morning I just sent a beaut to my Goddard friend Iris. All yellow.

After Mailman Dante arrived, I wanted to swing out the door - he was across the street at the Myers house and ask how he liked my Yellow Postcard.

Restrained myself as I was suffering the lo-down lazy-man blues.

The editor of the Adelaide Review, Stevan V Nikolic, just wrote that he accepted my latest short story.

And what story might that be?

He never mentioned it.

Am guessing Promise Me about the Million Man March.

Have been looking fw to watching this documentary called ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN.

Watch it here.

Half an hour. Very moving. Learn about the land upon which you live.
