Well, dear readers, I hope you all had a safe and sound and fun 4th of July. I heard the fireworks but did not see the fireworks. I stayed home and did things around the house which, I suppose, is better than staying home and doing things asquare the house or, heaven forbid, arectangle the house. The strangest thing that happened yesterday was the reappearing fly. The case began when I saw a fly sitting on my kitchen counter. I went over to said fly, smiled at it, wished it a happy 4th or July and then killed it deader than dead with a copy of a Dell computer catalog. An hour later I hear buzzing and I saw a fly near my kitchen window. I went over to it, smiled at it, wished it a happy 4th of July and then killed it deader than dead with a copy of a Dell computer catalog. Later, I was writing and I heard buzzing, so I went over to the kitchen windows and opened the blinds and there were two count them two flies there, which I immediately killed deader than dead with a copy of a Dell computer catalog. Later, I was watching The Great Escape on DVD when I saw a fly crawling on the TV screen. I killed it deader than dead, this time using a copy of Film Score Monthly because the Dell catalog was in the kitchen and was a bit gross by this time. Later, I got in bed and just as I was about to hit the road to dreamland I heard buzzing. I switched on the light and saw a fly on the floor. I tried to kill it deader than dead with a copy of the manual for my bedroom TV, but this time the little bugger escaped. This morning I saw the little bugger flying around the kitchen, but I had to write these here notes so I let it go. Later I will hunt the little bugger down and kill it deader than dead. My question is simple: Where in tarnation are these flies coming from? I don’t keep any unscreened windows open, I don’t open the door and let in flies – I mean, is this the same fly making ghostly reappearances? I don’t get it, frankly or even mikely. I shall keep you posted on this very strange case.
Tonight I shall be going to a friends and seeing the motion picture entertainment entitled The Music Man, not the DVD but an actual 35mm Technicolor print.
Here we have an update of The Strange Case of the Reappearing Fly: I have just killed the fly I saw this morning deader than dead with a Dell computer catalog. I am hoping that will be the end of it, but we shall see.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below before another fersluganah fly interrupts my train of thought or, at the very least, my bus of thought.
Many of you have wondered why I don’t speak of the cleaning lady with the Evil Eye every Saturday. That is because she only comes here every two weeks, and today is not her day. I hope that solves the mystery of The Strange Case of the Not-Always-Here Cleaning Lady. What am I, Erle Stanley Gardner all of a sudden?

Also, don’t forget tomorrow night will be our Unseemly Live Chat. I know that is two Sundays in a row, but it looks like I am starting a job on Monday and I’m not quite certain when I will be home. It’s yet another reality show, and I’ll be one of the producers, and in charge of all the post production, as well as going out in the field and directing pieces which involve the host of the show. I’ll have more details soon – it’s not going to be what I would call fun or interesting, but it’s good money and one has to do these things every now and then. If we all like each other then it will last between seven and thirteen weeks.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go hither and thither although today I shall not go yon, I must write, I must eat various and sundried foodstuffs and I must continue to solve The Strange Case of the Reappearing Fly. Today’s topic of discussion: What was your most memorable 4th of July? Second topic: What is your favorite kind of donut, and where is the best donut place you’ve ever gotten donuts from? Post away, my pretties and I will check back in often to update you on The Strange Case of the Reappearing Fly, who has just reappeared once again.
