Song Lyrics from way back when:

Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what's spring is like on Jupiter and Mars In other words hold my hand In other words darling, kiss me Fill my heart with song and let me sing forever more You are all I long for all I worship and I adore In other words Please, be true In...

TODAY'S QUESTIONS:

Why has nobody in Congress begun impeachment proceedings against DJT? Why does anyone continue to support him with campaign donations? Could it be they benefit from his criminality? Sign in to see full entry.

Jim's Favorite Joke (at 12 years old)

One thing I remember fondly about my younger brother is what a little stinker he was when we were kids. When he was about 12 he learned a joke titled "Smart Pills." He'd tell the joke - or try to play it on someone - and then laugh his head off if someone fell for it. Here's how it goes: Joe tells... Sign in to see full entry.

About the First Amendment...

What if DJT gave a speech and nobody covered it? Just saw a report that since he banned certain network reporters from the White House, others are avoiding his rallies to show support for their colleagues - and the First Amendment. Sign in to see full entry.

The Project

At 3:15 p.m. a construction crew pulled up to the grassy area near the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. They began laying a concrete block foundation along lines drawn by the construction boss earlier. Soon a flatbed truck pulled up alongside, closely followed by a second... Sign in to see full entry.

Have a good day.

I keep trying to find joyful things to write about just to offset the negativity that seems to have taken over social media, what with the politics and higher costs of everything, the hate bait that pops up alongside the ads on FB. Good to read the thoughts here of people dealing with a world that's... Sign in to see full entry.

Mother-in-law

Yesterday while shopping I saw a woman who reminded me of my mother-in-law from 50-plus years ago. She was the sweetest woman, always loving and kind to me, "Southern" in her ways - she'd been born and raised in Tennessee. She took care of our two little boys, lived just 3 or 4 doors up the street.... Sign in to see full entry.

Pretend: Hit song, sung by Nat King Cole

I used to love to sing this song that was a hit for Nat King Cole in 1953. I sang it one day in the strawberry patch where we were working (Mom, my sis, my brother and me) for 5 cents a quart shortly after school was out in June. The lyrics totally appealed to me.

THE SIMMER, Conclusion.

At supper Gordon told Arlene he'd decided to go with his buddy Dewayne on a hike up Silverton Mountain on Sunday. "I'll be camping overnight up there, since Monday's a holiday. I'm leaving the car, but you damn well better not run 'er outta gas." He'd be gone for a whole day and night. She let out a... Sign in to see full entry.
