The Minnesota State Fair starts today. I will not be attending. I hate crowds.

But you can partake of almost any foodstuff-known-to-humankind on a stick.

Continued proofing vibes for MR BK and his new character even though I don't think that there is such a thing as a sentence that is too long because sometimes it takes a lot of words to completely say what you want to say and breaking it up by punctuation will make it unclear and be antithetical to what the author is trying to accomplish with the sentence so it's best to leave it alone if you can and I think you should.

Indeed.

Lazy word day for me: Wordle 5, Phoodle 6

I would check my cap for an expiration date if I had the nerve to do so.

I truly don't wish to know, however.

Here's one guy's summary of last night's debate:

What is it, fish?

Good morning, all.

It seems incredible when you stop to think about it, but I just stopped to think about it, and I honestly don't think I have ever eaten a turnip.

Does that seem weird? The word itself couldn't be more common, but is the thing itself all that common on dinner plates? Or whatever kind of plates a turnip usually finds itself on?

DR Ginny. I like the connections game too, but sometimes it's really difficult!

This talk of long sentences and of breathing reminds me of the little boy who always dressed wrong. He had a coat on his tongue and his breath came in short pants.

Today I must pick up a few things at the supermarket, and top off the tank for tomorrow's excursion to the Big Apple.

I've got my reservation at the parking garage and the alarm is set for getting up at a decent hour. I just need to get to sleep at a decent hour tonight. Let's not have any repeat of the ABS/insomnia I had two nights ago. That was bloody awful.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #46 on:** August 24, 2023, 06:29:51 AM »

I also just remembered I need to do laundry today. Nothing critical, but it's a good day to do it. Should be just one load.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #47 on:** August 24, 2023, 06:33:17 AM »

I don't think I posted about the bloody awful ABS/insomnia I had the other night.

No matter, and no biggie. I just laid there for half the night unable to stop the brain. Listening to the classical station didn't even get me to relax and zonk out to it. Well, it eventually did, but not till an ungodly hour.

It took me thirty minutes to vacuum the apartment, which is ridiculous given the size of my abode.

And I am off to the ballet, where I hear everything is beautiful.

A question for the class:

Who popularized the song that goes "Ohhh, the good life..."?

I know Tony Bennett sang it, but was there anyone else who was particularly known for it?

Good Morning - up early, ready to head out the door. First day in the classroom for Jr High Religion - music classes start next week. I have a quick wedding to play this afternoon - just a simple service. I have 2 weddings in the next month where the bride is someone I taught up in the school. Actually, I there's a kid in first grade that I actually taught her father 20+ years ago. It's when their grandkids start at my school I'll know its time to retire.

I was thinking possibly Paul Anka. But I was not even 1 year old at the time.

I think that’s sweet that you’ve taught two generations.

My friend Jerry is taking me to lunch for my impending natal anniversary.

I have suggested that we try the local Iguana's.

I think it's a sit down Mexican restaurant, but it may be an order at the counter and wait.....we shall soon see.

Have a nice lunch, DR Jrand72 (soon to be DR Jrand73). Perhaps there IS such a thing as a free lunch.

Free lunch? I’m there
