We were shocked to have stayed in our Ashland home for 18 years.  It was the longest stretch in any home for both of us.

Thanks for the vibes.  I need them today, either my allergies or bad or I am coming down with a cold.  I can not be sick until after June 28th.

Richard and I delivered my bicycle to the AAUW Garage Sale site.  It's an almost 40-year-old Schwinn 3-speed, in great condition.  I decided at my age, considering all the blood thinning medication I take, I have no business risking a broken bone or bleeding injury.  We'd have donated Richard's bike, too, but Rob wants it so he can keep up with Mary Linda.  She has a nice, newer, 10-speed.

Annabelle has been sneezing like mad, so that seems to imply her nasal passages are unblocked.  I have her a treat a couple of hours ago and she ate it out of my hand.  As long as she's eating, I can cope.

Thatch has discovered that he can burrow under the quilt I keep at the foot of my bed, so he's been hiding there all afternoon.  He only came out when Annabelle walked on top of him but now he's gone back into hiding.  It's all very cute.

I miss my 40-year-old Schwinn 10-speed. I first got a beautiful burgundy Schwinn "Continental" in 1973 or thereabouts, which was stolen. (That's an interesting story in itself, in how absolutely ignorant I was back then in taking the necessary precautions.) A few years later I replaced it with another Schwinn 10-speed, just plain old silver and I don't remember if it had a model name, and that thing lasted me about ten years. I really do want to have one again because I would absolutely ride it around the neighborhood or wherever. But it's never quite reached the priority list.

When I was cleaning it up yesterday, I was so tempted to hop on my bike and take a spin around the block.  Then I thought about the fun trip we have planned to NYC in a few weeks...

One of my dance instructors is on blood thinners. Last night, he was showing a tango step when his nose started to bleed. A few minutes before it had been dripping from allergies. I noticed the blood before he did and got him quickly off the floor.

Oh, my goodness!  Josh and Sara started doing this sung comedy bit about writing a musical about the Tony Awards, but about a minute into the song, the station interrupted the show with three, count 'em, THREE comnercials, and then it came back to the show as their song ended! >:( WTF??


The whole Colbert segment is here.  The song is at the end, with all three of them (including S. Colbert)

Wasn't that "Little Often Annie"  (I think we've linked the imdb page for that one before, but it can't be linked too often)

I've finished the second edit through "The Company way" and I'm closing shop for the night.  My mind is fried.

Thanks for the link, Fred!  I was wondering if the song would be available on-line.

Back from some lunch with Grant (I was planning on eating here, but he wanted to go out) - Mel's Diner - had a sandwich and a side salad.  Then I picked up packages, heard the new track, which was just right, and am now listening to more music - Vince Mendoza.  Then I may watch Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Yup, and I think about all the pain I still suffer in my shoulder which is nothing compared to the pain I endured when I injured it.

All the talk about Schwinn bikes reminded me of this:  our next door neighbor in Buffalo was a wonderful older lady named Gert.  When I was about 12 years old my friend and I were riding our bikes on the main shopping street in South Buffalo.  We had stopped at a store and who should come along but Gert.  She gave us a nice greeting.  I showed her my new bike and she exclaimed how nice it was.  Now if you remember, the word "Schwinn" was (is?) writtten cursive-style on the bike.  I guess the last two letters weren't clear so Gert said "and it's a "SCHWIRR!"

Yes, DR Jane.  I kind of wish I had moved to a bigger condo years ago, but it is nice that I no longer have a mortgage payment.
