Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 12, 2013

Swinging from a rope before cocktails? That’s Munkey’s schtick. Marshall is cutting into his action.********Also, to Shikamoo, sorry I didn’t get in on time to say “Happy Birthday”.

Moderation in all things, Marshall…even in unwinding!

C’mon everybody… it’s tomorrow!

oooh Bev – you did a font.Or you stole my Comic Sans….

X… you posted some great pics.

And that includes a kitten one I saw at CD when Shika hadn’t come back to her party yet, and I was looking for her there.

Hi Brian, too!

Good night to those who went to bed….. though you won’t see this for awhile…IF you really went to bed.

Oh no, Bev… you can keep it.

I may borrow it now and then. I do kinda like it, I admit….but it’s very frowned upon by web site designers and such.

You see that stuff all over the place!

Did you go, Bev?

Bri — Hey back.

I’m always just missing everybody!

LOTS of fonts out there Bev….

I’m surprised you don’t have more already, that came pre-installed…. but there are loads of free font websites, too….I’ll be happy to help you wit that.

with that…. sheesh!Or else I woulda said “wit dat.”

What’s Marshall gonna do for an encore after his first martini?

X …Before I wander off …..

I meant to thank you for all your work on fonts. You did a great job of demonstrating…

All of these are fairly common computer fonts, too… Georgia, Trebuchet MS, Verdana

Maybe even Lucida Calligraphy but we’ll see….

Not that I’m becoming obsessed or anything….

LOL!

G’night, all….

Thanks Fenton… see you when you come in tomorrow night….

I’ll swing by for a drink later.

Practicing for the Circus again is he?Either that or he heard “Drinks on the House” so he is trying to get to the roof.

Just heard on the History Quiz that today is the anniversary of the Etch-a-sketch. Hard for me to believe that it came out the year my first child was born (and I was 22) because I remember playing with it a lot. I just I always WILL be a child at heart.

I didn’t need a rope to unwind last night tho – Just a good spicey cup of tea

@ Dry

Whoops! Good Morning! I can’t stay, (I should be working somewhere today, somewhere). The above attempted link is for Dry and x_Tech. The song I had in mind was “I’ll fly Away” by the Heritage Singers. I love the song and the group, Jamaican diaspora based in Toronto who have performed around the world their soul music. I know some of the performers personally, and went to all their concerts in the 1990’s.However, I liked the song “Fly Away Home” that x_tech posted. Country music is not bad. It’s just another form of folk music, which is kind of what the Heritage Singers sing.

And now, back to my regularly schedule day, except to say

Ballardeers are the best,Whether from the east or west:Another home for me to restWith flights of fancy at my behest.

(Don’t expect Shakespeare this early, okay?)

And then he gets tight.

At least it’s Marshall and not Charles doing the rope pulls. If it were Charles, they’d call him a Hanging Chad !

Try this. Bye!

Veteran! You didn’t give us much notice…. but….

whoa… I just posted a picture and it showed ofr a second and immediately disapeared!

One more try:

Still nothing, Susan.

Nope… I guess that site doesn’t allow it…. sorry….

But anyway…. I didn’t have time for a cake…but I made some cupcakes…. everybody can have one after the Veteran sees them,,,,please!

Happy Birthday, Vet!

>

There it is from another site… Hah!

Happy Birthday, Veteran!

Hi Grog….thanks.

I chased it down and coaxed it aboard, though….

Some sites just don’t want to share.It’s OK…. it’s their right.

Oh…. and yes, Vet, I know…. the other Rangers…..

best I could do for now!

Red, don’t apologize for being late. It was my fault for not telling everyone when my birthday is.

Drinks are on me for all who didn’t make the party last night, and those who did.Heck, it’s the least I can do for all the great folks here.

But now I must say good night. After five hours of gardening, this aging body is screaming at me to have a hot shower and lie down.I always do what I’m told.Good Night Ballardeers.

I’ve had my shower and was just looking over all my wonderful presents. Beviek, how did you get a photo of a cat holding a fish? Those cat’s eyes are RED! lol And the other cat, “You may pet me once.” Priceless!There were fewer than twelve Snickerdoodles, but I think I know who got them. Since it was my birthday, I’ll share. This once!I laughed when I clicked on the birthday song. Those cats are nuts. I loved it! Thank you.

Everyone made my belated party a special one. As I said to happy, wearing a crown for the day made me feel like royalty.Anyway, now my body is about to collapse if I don’t get to bed now, so Good Night again! And Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday.Happy July birthday to whoever it applies to as well!

Good night all.My pleasure Shika.

Punny.
