Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for October 26, 2021

Harry Chapin from Taxi, And she walked away in silenceIt’s strange, how you never knowBut we’d both gotten what we’d asked forSuch a long, long time ago

You see, she was gonna be an actressAnd I was gonna learn to flyShe took off to find the footlightsAnd I took off for the sky

And here, she’s acting happyInside her handsome homeAnd me, I’m flying in my taxiTaking tips, and getting stonedI go flying so high, when I’m stoned

Gotta empathize to some degree. Last 2 years were tough for the younger, more active folks. Age has reduced our ‘roaming’ instinct. Masks became just another garment for shopping, and not seeing the neighbors has not been all that much of a trial, especially the non-maskers. The major blue riff has been fewer family gatherings but we will be adding more of those in coming months. So far at least, all of them are well and taking care, We pray the same for all others.

…aaaand cut! It’s a wrap. Now the hard work begins: the editing.

My sister writes plays for fundraisers. I got drafted to be in one of them. I found out I liked it. I’m not particularly good at it, but I like it anyway.

Happiness is a choice

Gonna celebrate our first year wedding anniversary in a few days as well.

Here is a job for you. Without using ANY of your senses, prove to me that you even exist. You cannot. If I cannot see, hear, feel, taste , or smell you…you may not even exist. I know I exist, but not you.

Moderately starstruck.

Most actors pretend they are not acting.

It is useful to “try on” new emotions for a little while. You might well find happiness is not as awful as many people suspect. :)

Fake it til you make it!

She gets an Oscar and Tony awards.
