REMEMBER THESE LYRICS?

"Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on? Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today, To take you to his mansion in the sky?" I don't know why this song came to mind as I was sorting pills this morning and contemplating the purchase of some... Sign in to see full entry.

ZIP A DEE DOO DAH!

Not having a wonderful day - internet problems, etc. Going to the store to recruit a member of the Geek Squad to fix the mess I made trying to load the new version of Office. No need to elaborate here, let's just say it was a SNAFU. Will try to come up with something interesting if/when the tech... Sign in to see full entry.

WAH! WAH! WAH! WHERE'S MY REGULAR PROGRAM?

It's one thing to pre-empt regular programming for a sports event. But to do it for a week - or maybe longer - is just WRONG! My guilty pleasure is "Days of Our Lives," daily at 2:00 here on NBC. A week ago there was a Friday cliff-hanger, our beautiful young amnesia victim was about to marry her... Sign in to see full entry.

UPDATE ON ITCHY, ETC

It doesn't look like Itchy, White Ears, Mellie and Trubbles - not even Paladin - will be returning to the Backyard Empire in the near future. Yesterday I realized the guy who drives the big black pickup truck brings his doggie along. The dog's name is Zipp, he's part Australian cattle dog, part... Sign in to see full entry.

ONE OF THE BACKYARD SQUIRRELS

Couple days ago I had to go to the store. Mixed bag these days, what with my love of people-watching and the threat of the Delta variant even though I've had both Covid 19 shots. I mask up in the store, just in case. Beautiful Downtown Mundane is like 30 minutes from the heart of St. Louis, Missouri... Sign in to see full entry.

MY NEW LAWN GUY

Son Rich met him at the gas station one morning a couple weeks ago. He'd seen Mr. C.J. driving his garden tractor & towing a trailer with a lawn mower in it. The two got to talking - forgive me if this is old news - I'm having a foggy day today memory-wise. Anyway today CJ showed up to do my lawn... Sign in to see full entry.

IS THIS A NURSERY RHYME?

There was an old lady who lived under the hill And if she's not gone she's living there still. Sign in to see full entry.

MEMORY ...

I forget what I went to the kitchen for and have to retrace my steps. Oh, yeah, a refill on my coffee. That's why I've got the cup in my hand. Or was that it? Nope. Getting ready to head for the store, my dentures are in the cup next to the kitchen sink, and I needed to rinse out the coffee cup and... Sign in to see full entry.

ABOUT SOL

Sol (short for Solomon) used to teach philosophy at the community college - an after-retirement gig. His career had been at the UW, he was a radical anti-feminist who got the female faculty so ticked off they forced the administration to enforce the mandatory retirement policy. I was gonna write...

FRIDAY STUFF

Couple days ago my nephew Larry phoned. This may be the first time ever. He's on my FB page, posts this 'n that - often profane comments on politics, human nature, etc. He was 8 the year I was 15 and spent part of the summer with my big sis and her family and got a job working as a banquet waitress...
