STRANDS OF HAIR THAT HAVE OVERSTAYED THEIR WELCOME

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, I am currently sitting here like so much fish, sucking on an Altoid and wondering why they didn’t call it a Deltoid. Yes, these are the thoughts that are rolling around in the windmills of my mind, like stray strands of hair that have overstayed their welcome. My goodness – that was quite florid, wasn’t it? That was floridly florid, if you get my meaning and I know you do. I am also sipping on a Diet Coke, which does not really mesh well with the Altoid. But what DOES mesh with an Altoid? These are existential questions that can only be answered with existential answers. Of course, I have no idea what the HELL I’m talking about, but when has THAT ever stopped me? Otherwise, I can tell you with quiet confidence that I watched no motion pictures last night, I listened to no music last night, I just quietly went about my business, doing things. I have no memory of what those things were, of course, because the minute I did them, they vanished from my cranium. We call this phenomenon “Dranium of the Cranium.” So, since I watched no motion pictures and listened to no music, what the HELL am I supposed to write about? My toenails? My perfect fingernails? The allergy attack I had a couple of hours ago that came completely out of not only the blue but the green as well? I did get eight hours of sleep, I got up, I answered e-mails, I did a few things that needed doing, I went to the mail place and picked up the correct package of razors along with more Melatonin. I now have enough for two more months, maybe a bit more. I have to say that the Melatonin has been very helpful is me getting really good sleep. I don’t know it it’s just a placebo or if it really works, but who cares really? The result is the same – sleeping better through the evening. What else can I tell you? For food, I had a very good crab and bay shrimp Louis with 1000-Island dressing. Later, for a snack, I made two tortillas with cheese – those were edible. What else can I tell you? I had not a single telephonic call, I think I figured out the opening and closing of the Kritzerland show, so now I just have to figure out the rest. Oh, and here’s our handy-dandy flyer for the show. Do feel free to fly in from wherever you are to see it.

Isn’t that a lovely flyer. I’d take a flyer on that flyer. I’d sell it if I had a buyer for that flyer. If I took some drugs, I’d be higher than that flyer. If I didn’t like it, that flyer would be dire. Certainly, I admire that flyer and I would never set fire to that flyer. If it had misinformation, that flyer would be a liar. I know, I know, I’m preaching to the choir about that flyer. You know who likes that flyer? David Shire. But enough about that flyer. To put it succinctly, it was kind of an uneventful day.

Today, I’ll be up when I’m up, I’ll do whatever needs doing, I’ll finish the show order and start writing the commentary, I’m thinking about hot dogs for food, I’ll have some telephonic calls, and then at some point I’ll watch, listen, and relax.

The rest of the week is more of the same, some meetings and meals, maybe seeing a play, and praying for a couple more modern major miracles of the miraculous kind.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, be up when I’m up, do whatever needs doing, finish the show order, write commentary, eat, have telephonic calls, and then watch, listen, and relax. Today’s topic of discussion: OfTen or offen? FragI’ll or fragill? What words do you pronounce a certain way when others don’t? Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, happy to be done with the notes, which were rather like strands of hair that have overstayed their welcome.
