What Rough Beast, Its Hour Come Round At Last, Slouches Towards The ONT To Be Born?
Welcome to Thursday night. Tonight's theme is petty annoyances. Like this:
Rock And/Or Roll
The 25 Greatest Rock Bands Of All-Time, Ranked There are a couple of problems with this list. The biggest is that he somehow forgot #24, so the list is one short. The first questions is: Who would you put in that slot? I think I might put The Grateful Dead. Never been a very big fan of The Dead, but their influence is undeniable. Second question: How would you change the list? What bands would you add, which ones would you take off? Who would you move around on the list, and where?Take Me Out To The Ball Game Dude Breaks Up With Girl Via Jumbotron Title says it all, really. We've all seen Jumbotron proposals, but this strikes me as a dick move. At least with a proposal, you are inviting the crowd to share in your joy. This is just cold.

That The Rape of Proserpina (“rape” in this case meaning “carried off”, not the sexual connotation it has today) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who carved it at the ripe old age of 23. Look at that detail, it's exquisite. Or consider this, Il Disinganno by Francesco Queirolo. Think about the work it took to carve a net from a single piece of marble! I haven't seen either of those personally, but I have seen Michelangelo's Pietà, and it's awe inspiring. It's a tragedy that people aren't creating great works of art like this anymore, and probably says more than a little bit about our culture. So what are some of your favorite sculptures?
A More Innocent Time Hey guys, remember Bill Clinton? Remember how poisonous we thought the political atmosphere was back then, how much of a disaster Clinton was as president? Now look around at today. I'm not saying that the road from there to here isn't as clear as a morning sky, but looking back it all seems so......innocent. Anyhow, here's a blast from the past.
Feel Good Story Of The Day Bottom-Ranked Sumo Wrestler Burst Into Tears After Winning First Championship Good for this guy! He barely made it into the tournament, and wound up going 14-1, winning the Emperor's Cup. He's not afraid to show some honest emotion when he does it either. Video at link.
Going For The Gold Speaking of long shots, do any of y'all know the story of how Australia won its very first gold medal in the winter Olympics? It happened in short track speed skating. Steven Bradbury was the skater, and Salt Lake was going to be his last Olympics. He'd been part of the Australian 5000 meter relay team that won bronze (Australia's first winter medal) 8 years earlier. He won his opening heat, but in the second round he came in third (top two finishers advance). But wait! The Canadian skater who finished second, Marc Gagnon, was dq'd on a technical foul, so the third place finisher, Bradbury, advanced to the semi-finals. He was running dead last, but on the final lap three skaters wiped out, allowing him to take second place. Bradbury was in the finals! And then this happened:
Honorary Moron?
Surfer bitten by shark goes to bar instead of hospital
He stunned friends by refusing to go to the hospital, instead heading to a bar to milk his newfound notoriety.That's a man who knows the meaning of the old saying “Make hay while the sun shines”.
“He immediately went to a bar ’cause he was like, ‘I got bit by a shark,’ and people were like, ‘I’ll buy you drinks!’ So he went and hung out at the pier,” his friend RJ Berger told News4Jax with a laugh.
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by the word of the day:

Little things that bug me: my husband never wants to put fresh fruit in the refrigerator. He leaves it out on the counter so it's always room temperature. This goes back many years, to a period when he had a tooth that was slowly dying, and cold things were painful to eat. But he eventually had a root canal, the tooth is fine now, but the old habit of leaving fruit out on the counter persists. This week we threw away a whole basket of peaches because he left them out when they were perfectly ripe and they rotted almost overnight!

For me, or them? I mean, obviously I can do it, but they could just have easily done it too. Or - if they have a crippling fear of the 'clear' button - they could just wait the extra few seconds. Then the reheat cycle would finish and the timer would zero.
Just one of those irrational irritating things.

938. That's how many churches are inside the city limits. I hit the Majors and Minors. Saw Michelangelo and Caravaggio. Moses (In St Peter in Chains.)
It was Christmas when I went and we went into this tiny out of the way church. They had this gigantic nativity that was like one of those topographical 3d models people do of great battles. It was amazing. It took up most of the church.

It's not a click-through --- just takes a minute to load.
I have a lot of problems with the list. The Beatles at 1 and Stones at 2. Highly overrated bands. Zeppelin is number 1 and there is simply no debate.
Nirvana is the only grunge band on the list. They're not even the best grunge band. Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and even Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots were better. Foo Fighters are better than Nirvana.
My list would include Rush. I take a lot of flaming arrows around here for my Rush love. Don't care. They are one of the greatest bands ever.
Beach Boys are NOT rock.

Labs love water. And so, I had the ONLY Lab ever that didn't like water. I would get the garden hose out to water plants, and he would run over to the far corner of the yard to get away from me.
We took him on vacation to the beach once, and while he loved the beach, he would not go in the ocean to fetch a ball ( which was his favorite game).

Oh yeah! One night on second shift, I needed to find a drill. Not in the tool crib. So I walk around the shop, looking at all the drawings. Aha, this job uses that drill. So I grabbed a babbitt hammer, and busted the lock off the guy's locker, and got my drill. Every job took twice the quoted time because a-holes would not put stuff away.
That's a much better peeve than mine. Can I switch my vote?

The use of "gift" as a verb.
Posted by: Sal
I hate that also, but what I hate more is when people use the verb "seen" without a helping verb. That is fairly common around here. I've also heard people use "tooken" instead of "took" or "taken".

I have different spoken and written standards. It's spelled "there are a couple of chairs over there". It's pronounced "there's some chairs over there". I know the right and wrong number agreement, but saying it the right way makes me sound like an awkward and unfeeling robot instead of a cool, relatable, personable robot.

I'm in the slow lane, where I am most comfortable while driving. Always at the speed limit, plus maybe 5 MPH. Someone who's behind me goes into the passing lane, passes me, then cuts right in front of me to leave from the next exit. Chucklehead could have just stayed behind me and exited normally without doing anything.
Irritates me all the time. Never enough to make a big stink about it, however. But it irritates me.

My kids are autistic, so they have very narrow interests. They like only a few things, but they like them A LOT. So it sometimes happens that I'll find 3 computers on 3 different levels of the house all playing 'Charlotte's Web' *in unison* while my son drifts through the house, happily listening to his favourite movie wherever he goes. My husband said 'That's the worst movie I've ever seen 500 times.'

What amazes me is that his statues kind of emerge finished from the block of marble. I am an engineer, I look at it like I would chisel this part away to a head shaped piece, and a torso shaped piece, and then work on the detail. But, not Michelangelo - he goes straight to the detail, and you see a complete half face that ends in the block of marble.

-----------
When my brother got back from Rome, he talked about how the basements in many of the churches and museums there were filled with sculptures that would likely never see the light of day. They're great sculptures. But they're in a city that's full of the best sculptures in the world, and they're not as recognized as the works that are out on display. So they stay in the basements, packed away carefully, where no one will ever see them.

Fortunately, the embarrassment that my maculate appearance might cause was evitable. There were two ways about it, but the chances that someone as flappable as I would be ept enough to become persona grata or a sung hero were slim. I was, after all, something to sneeze at, someone you could easily hold a candle to, someone who usually aroused bridled passion.

Contra that, some people way back when, assumed I was an 'ette. (I think that was because when I first started posting, I was discussing historical costuming, though I would like to note that I was discussing men's clothes and on me.) OTOH, if I could find an 'ette that was looking for the likes of me, that'd be grand.
(I do find it somewhat humorous that someone who lives in S.F. can't distinguish between a Mo-Ron and a Mo-Ronna.)

Not minor to me, my co-workers don't put stuff away. They just leave stuff where they leave it when they're done with it. Like children.....
I had a lot of co-workers who would eat lunch, then just dump their dirty dishes in the sink, as if someone else would take care of them. Then there was this pathetic woman who would wash the dishes every couple of days, like she was the other employees' maid or something. She annoyed me even more than the lazy bums who left their dirty dishes laying around. I don't approve of cleaning up after adults.

No matter that criteria i can't see the Ramones being #3, they can be in the top 25, but honestly i think they just influenced turd burglers to buy Ramones shirts, thier music is catchy and they have a few good songs, but not a ton. For Punk I'd put the Clash above them in almost all the mentioned categories.
Same goes for Zepplin, they are literally a poor man's The Who, and thier biggest contribution is winning bs lawsuits filed by the people who actually wrote all the songs they performed.
Nirvana is another influence over output band. Velvet Underground takes that to 11, with major style over substance. I like Tom Petty but they should be down more. Talking heads have like 4 good songs and owe thier popularity to people who crave being popular and quirky. Beach Boys are amazing, but not rock and roll.
No ZZ Top is a huge sin, maybe just behind no Zappa and the greatest rock band ever, Cream (or any Clapton band)

Metal drummers: Dave Lombardo>Jason Bittner>every other metal drummer>Lars Ulrich.
See? that's why I hate these kinds of lists. Very judgy, and prone to break out in fistfights. but I stand by my assessment of Lars. He's a fucking tool.
Posted by: Pug Mahon, Keith's Son at August 26, 2021 09:29 PM (4l77G)
As a drummer, Lars is distinctive and interesting. He has a really unique way of putting accents and fills into odd places which shouldn't work, but do.
But in every other way, calling Lars a fucking tool doesn't go nearly far enough. Despicable cocksucker, he is. Especially since he got to bang Connie Nielsen and I haven't. What a dick.

They're pop. I think now calling something Pop is a bit disparaging, but for some music that's just what it is. A lot of early Beatle's songs would be in the same boat, but they had enough that falls into the Rock and Roll category to split genres.

You inadvertently stumbled onto a grammar nerd thing.
A lot of folks misuse the term "acronym". An acronym is a specific type of abbreviation. It is an abbreviation that can be said as a word.
All acronyms are abbreviations, but not all abbreviations are acronyms.
Examples...
USA - not an acronym. UNICEF - is an acronym. NATO - is an acronym. ONT - not an acronym.

While i can't agree with you on Zepplin, as they might be my most hated band, i think you got most else right. I think Alice in Chains, as a band and song writers, were far superior to Nirvana, but Kurt had a look that attracted the little MTV girls. Same with Sound Garden and STP, I'd put Nirvana 4th in the top Grunge bands. I also personally like the Foo Fighters much better (or the first 3 or 4 records at least, i think they've become pretty awful lately) but really only post 80s band on my list would be Queens of the Stone Age.
Rush certainly should go on the list, Getty's voice is a little much at times, but they are influential, write great songs, and are 3 of the best at thier respective instruments.

Mexican joint that definitely wasn't TexMex. Then went to The Wine Bar. Had two rum and cokes.
Doubles.
Ran into the daughter's in-laws (well, they would be if the g-babies' parents would get married).
Fortunately, they're good people. Talked about the g-babies mostly. Also listened to some folk music by some of my daughter's friends.
Then I noticed something.
I was surrounded by Karens. A gaggle of them.
And they were LOUD.
Though not as loud as the ones at the Mexican joint we ate at.
We left shortly thereafter when the Karen/music ratio was increasing in the Karens' favor.
So now, Ex-ex went to bed, since he has to get up early, and I'm waiting for this headache to go away. So y'all please excuse me if I seem just a tad cranky.

Pet Peeve: TP on the wrong way. I'm not going to say which way but everyone can agree that if it's wrong to you it's irritating.
And the reason why so many sculptors is slavery. With slaves to do the work the very rich could afford to pay artists to create the works that they did. This also goes for painters, scientists, writers. Just about any of the Arts. Without slavery and a cash society norm paying for someones time is very expensive. Figure out how many sculptures a sculptor made that were of quality then remember that they did those after spending years learning and then years after not doing so well.
There's another few reasons. We don't value the object as much back this was almost miraculous. We've replaced the Arts with Tech. And thats who's making the big bucks per hour worked. That and the Arts have really deteriorated into nonsense and people won't buy nonsense.
I'd say the lack of slavery and Patronage was the biggest part.

I think the Who fall into the same problem as Zappa. People hear Pinball Wizard as a joke song and then just treat the band like a joke instead of the great act they are. Musically they should actually be ahead of the Beatles and Stones, but they were a bit later (think they replaced the Stones when they got a record deal and left thier local club gig) so less influential. They also were less glamor hogs, instead being more of a rock band than cultural icons.
Also The Kinks should be up there with them, as a band they have like 200 great songs you can listen to, more than those other 3 combined.

It's over 30 years old. Not quiet. But it will clean anything, perfectly. It's amazing.
Some guys, I've read, put their Glock (or similar) lowers/frames in the dishwasher to clean. Actually don't get that, the frame shouldn't get that dirty and it's not that hard to clean with convention methods if you disassemble a bit.

I like maybe 3 Grateful Dead songs, but thier popularity is based 95% on old burnouts who don't know music and just wish they were in the 60s again (or younger folks who didn't live through the 60s and wish they did)
It's like Kiss, music for people who don't really like music, but like attention.

Hate Plant's voice. Page's playing became too gimmicky. They full on stole most of thier music, to the point they actually had the nerve to say the wrote whole lotta love's lyrics and music. The band itself was built on Page trying to break up The Who, but Daltry and Entwistle thought Page was more of an egomaniacal douche than even Townsend. Thier rabid fans think they are the greatest at everything when all around they were a poor man's Terry Reid (the guy who Page wanted after Daltry) poor man's Keith Moon and a poor man's Jeff Beck. Did I mention they steal music? They put out thier copy of Long Train Running 2 years after, and then had the nerve to say they actually wrote it 3 years earlier but just sat on it (3 years or so earlier they toured with the Doobies, who played the song live before ever recording it)
Also, this never played into my initial hating them, see above about Plant and Bonnam being violent rapist.

GnR #6 and Nirvana #7? No. If you were making a list of best rock albums and put Appetite for Destruction at #6 and Nevermind at #7, I could probably go along with that. But to be a best band, you need to have more than one album that people talk about 30 years later.
Shit, if you split AC/DC up into "Bon Scott AC/DC" and "Brian Johnson AC/DC", those could easily be 6 and 7 on the list.
And, I don't personally like them, but... U2 doesn't even make the list? WTF man.

As God is my witness, the house we are shopping for (to retire into) will be retrofitted with two glorious dishwashers!

Along my back fence, a kind of brick lattice fence, there's one brick column bigger than the rest with what looks like a stove pipe coming out of it. Attached on the inside, facing the yard is a lower brick enclosure that has an ornamental tree planted in it. Didn't think much of it, an old house where the past owners did all sorts of crazy things to it. I found out from someone that it's for roasting oysters. It was a thing 80-100 years ago to go the shore with friends, grab a mess of oysters, then come back and have a big roast with neighbors. So people had these things built into their yards.

One of my best friends - the guy that introduced me to my first Dead show back in '94 - had a theory about why Garcia could never stay in rehab (besides the fact he was a stone-cold junkie). They continually toured because the band felt an obligation to keep their people employed, and they didn't have royalties to finance the operation; only touring and merch. Jerry couldn't stay in one place long enough to get better.

Trump was ousted. All the gainzzz from his policies have been/will be effaced (there are several, and they were important). Every bit of gainzzz from his 2nd term - never going to happen. The criminal weaponization of central US institutions against Trump, both before and during his presidency, will never be fully documented, or, apparently, punished or corrected in any way.
BTW this includes things like leaking of presidential phone calls with foreign heads of state, insubordination in national security departments, and other things that haven't received that much attention.
Biden's "presidency" is simply the erasure of Trump's successes - AND the weaponization of his worst failures, related to C19 "public health" policies and related economic/financial/social interventions.

Madeline S. Casey of New Hartford, 26, was sentenced on August 18 to a week in jail and fined over $2,000 after she stepped off the boardwalk and onto thermal ground in Yellowstone. While the sentence handed down to Madeline S. Casey of New Hartford may seem harsh, Acting US Attorney Bob Murray said that 'it's better than spending time in a hospital's burn unit.'

I am finally going to hear Clapton live in Ft. Worth in September. I don't know if I should be giddy over this or should approach it like I going to church. This is serious moment for me.
Related. John Mayall plays Jazz Alley in Seattle and when lived there I would go down for all 3 or 4 four shows. Before the show one night I approached him and thanked him for the years of music he gave me and in particular, The Bluesbreakers album with Clapton. In my youth I wore out that album more than once. He paused for a moment and comment quietly, "That had some energy." And thus ended my brush with greatness. Later that night he commented we haven't played this in decades and launched in a vicious rendition of All Your Love from that album. I had a stroke and had to go home in an ambulance. Well, that is what I claim.

I've always liked the prayer of Sir Jacob Astley (the Royalist commander), just before the battle of Edgehill in 1642: "O Lord, Thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget Thee, do not Thou forget me."
Seems a good prayer for a soldier.

He probably influenced more of the greatest guitarist than anyone, including Hendrix, as sadly if it wasn't for Clapton most so many of the latter bands would have no idea what the Blues was. He's been the part of 5 major bands, created some of the best rock songs (Layla and other Assorted Love Songs is top to bottom perfect) and he's hands down the cleanest guitarist of that whole generation, he could shred, play blues, write magical solos and all without gimmicks that the others needed.
In my guitar list (60s onward and those who can be considered stars) he'd be #1, followed probably by Zappa, Beck, Gibbons and possibly Gilmore

Ephesians 6:12-18 (New King James Version)
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--

I got to see Cream's last tour in MSG, as they were still great and louder than anyone. Saw Clapton alone a few years earlier snd he was amazing.
Wish I could have seen the tours he did where he tried to recreate his old bands, like when he had Steve Winwood open and they'd close with Blind Faith songs, or when he had Derek Trucks tour with him and they did lots of D&D songs.

Knopfler annoys me. Not because i don't think he and his chicken picking style aren't amazing. But because he plays Pensa guitars, pretty much made them famous and his model is one of thier main guitars. And I pass Rudy's all the time, for 20 years, and I look in the window and stare at the Pensa guitars, and stare at thier price tag, and cry in the gutter.
They are my holy grail and if I won the lotto I'd walk in to Rudy's and buy every single one.

It is utterly impossible to have a favorite thing from the Clapton opus - just when you think you got it you find something else. With that out of the way I have had endless love affairs with the Blues Breakers Album (it is all so stiff and not at the same time). The there is Layla - Keys to the Highway, Little Wing, Bell Bottom Blues and Layla, Clapton sounded so happy on the recording.
The there is the Me and Mr. Johnson recordings - The reverence in those performances for the songs is spectacular and the musicianship is at his peak.
On the Last Waltz, Further On Up The Road, Clapton explodes and goes nuts. Robbie not be outdone smokes Clapton. It makes you pass out if you don't have somebody make you inhale once in awhile.
I have issues.

Leaves Canadians Stranded _PJ Media
Posted by: Braenyard at August 26, 2021 11:46 PM (m+yM6)
I am really wondering how many of those "Canadians" stranded in Kabul are native-born Canadians of traditional Canadian ethnicities? I suspect many are Afghans, born and bred, who emigrated to Canada, and then went back there, keeping their Canadian citizenship as an escape valve.
Same exact thing happened in Lebanon a few years ago, too.
"Hotel Canadians".

No, but I saw the Brain Surgeons here in S.F. in 1998 at Club Cocodrie. After the show, I said to Albert Bouchard that it was one of the best BOC shows I ever saw (because, obviously, they played a lot of BOC). He enjoyed that. One of his guitarists was Billy Hilfiger, brother of the famous Tommy one. Billy died of brain cancer a few years later.
You really opened that door!

I looked up their discography, read about it, and listened to what critics acclaimed as their best stuff. It's terrible music. Absolutely bland. I would even go so far as to say, "Wow, this stuff sucks!". Maybe I'm just not intelligent enough to understand why their fans, and plenty of wordy authors, simultaneously love them so much and hope nobody else ever agrees.

I was on my college debate team (CEDA, not NDT), from '88 to '92. One semester the topic was about 3rd party participation in U.S. politics. One of the major sources was a book called "The Irony of Democracy" by Thomas Dye & Harmon Zeigler. It was convention during rounds that early in a topic when sources were new to refer to the authors by their first and last names; after awhile debaters would just use the last name. Well, people started citing quotes from "Irony of Democracy" by Dye & Zeigler. Well, it wasn't long before people started thinking the author was "Dianne Zeigler" and referring to "she" when arguing about that source. It was pretty funny.

I could see an inside joke like that. "Hey, when the interviewed asks, lets all say Sparks for shits and giggles" knowing full well they suck, just to troll. An inside joke that went on for forty years, and got a very small and gullible group of people, with this insider secret information, to love them. "Ooh, the bassist for Tool said they're great, so they must be! I won't tell anyone." If so, it's a masterful bit of trolling.

Yeah, they are retarded money. I have paid more for certain guitars, and in the end I have a rack of beaters behind me, most were silly cheap. The wife always gives me shit because I won't play the better ones, but I don't feel like banging the good ones off the desk here. In the end I picked them because they just happen to sound good and play good, and if they get trashed, oh well. My days of buying stooopid pricey guitars are over. I mean I still have them all, but looking back at the fucking king's ransom I spent on them I have more fun with the beaters because I don't have to worry about them. It's somewhat liberating.

Hahaha I went to that show. And yeah when we drove into town the deadheads were sleeping everywhere even in the trees in the middle of the main drag into town.
Also Sting opened for them and it was a beautiful blue sky day but he played an extended mix of Heavy Cloud No Rain and a huge thunderstorm surrounded the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl and poured down rain for about 15 minutes. Sting played through it I thought we were all going to get electrocuted. But he finished and the clouds cleared up. Whole place smelled like wet cats for about an hour since all the deadheads hadn't showered since the last time they were outdoors in the rain.

"It is sickening and enraging to hear that at least 12 U.S. servicemembers have been killed at the hands of terrorists in Kabul. We need to redouble our global efforts to confront these barbarian enemies who want to kill Americans and attack our homeland."
There were still more words, but with the same gist. And at no point did he ever criticize Biden. After all, how could he? He couldn't criticize Biden's age -- McConnell, at 79, is even older than Biden. He couldn't criticize him for throwing out Trump's plan. He desperately wanted Biden to be elected.
And so we get this mindless blather about "global efforts." If anything, Kabul proves that nothing gets done by committee, you need a strong well-led nation to do the job. Here's hoping the next Congress finds someone other than the soon-to-be 80-year-old to lead GOP senators.

I have this odd ball idea the in 200 or so years when people look back at this period of music number one or two on that list of those remembered with be Chuck Berry. It is nearly impossible to overstate what those, what 40 tracks, mean. In a few minutes of music he synthesizes nearly the whole first half of the American 20th century music and spawns the next 50 years. That influence is still alive and well.

Petula Clark led off the parade, when I was in the 2nd grade. And it was a long and endless parade, lasting entirely through the '70s, into the '80s, and by the '90s, I was growing cynical as to the acts, packaging and marketing. By time "madonna", I was done, and I could not now name a single gaga hit, and etc.
Roberta Flack stole my heart in the '70s. Her music reached down deep, and took hold. Plus, she looked like she sounded. Beautiful, soulful, deep and meaningful. Pity, I was 20 or 30 years too young then. But, my transistor dial knew, even then.

And the latest from Vanden Bossche. Some idiot doctor has been attacking Vanden Bossche, and he rips the doctor a new one here:

It's good read. Had Geert Vanden Bossche been in Fauci's position during this mess, we'd be out of it now. I suspect we'd be at herd immunity by now, and would have a lot less deaths. We'd look like Sweden.
Sweden apparently had people in public health who actually knew their ass from a hole in the ground.

Beautiful sculpture. The white moose looked like a sculpture until it started moving. Also beautiful.
I saw an elk leaving a swamp once and my mind processed it as a moose because it was leaving a swamp. Later when my sil was talking about the experience (she was with me) she mentioned the elk. I closed my eyes and "saw" the experience again and realized she was right. The mind is interesting.

What do you want more, the dishes done or for him to do the dishes? If it's the dishes done, just do them. If it is for him to do them, leave them. No sense in fussing over the small things.

Because he seemed to want the same things I did.
Seemed to want a quiet, stable home life. Seemed to want to settle down and work, build toward a mutually satisfying retirement.
Seemed to want stability and prosperity in our 'golden years'.
SEEMED TO WANT. It was all a lie. A facade. Utter bullsh!t. He was a druggie and only wanted a sugarmama to fund his habit.

On the home front, two significant happenings yesterday. Our gSon and parents went to open house at his school, where he begins kindergarten on Monday, so we hosted his sister (whose turn comes next year) while that happened. Last night I assisted members of my scout troop lay out the annual calendar for 2021 and 2022 in what was my last meeting with them as their scoutmaster. Afterward, several dozen parents, family members, and scouts from years past came forward to honor me for my seven years' service as scoutmaster and my sixteen years service as assistant scoutmaster prior to that. My last day will be the last day of this month, then I will continue on as coach for youths working on their Eagle leadership projects.

Mom has a huge framed picture of a collage of family pictures that go back to people born in the late 1800s. The most recent picture in it is of my oldest brother when he was about 6 months old. He's 70 now. It's very cool and I am staking claim to it

Thank you. It would have been hard for me to not to do so, as I truly enjoyed interacting with those young men as they grew up. I have stories about every one of them.
