Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I started to post to you on yesterday, Bevā¦. but I fell asleep.(Howās that for old?)Just wanted to wish you a safe journey, and best of luck! Iām too superstitious (or Jewish or something) to say ācongratulations!ā ahead of timeā¦but Iāll be waiting for the good news.
Grandma Bev.Has a nice ring to it!
Meanwhileā¦plenty of margaritas AND banana daiquiris here at the Tiki tonightā¦great music tooā¦.So if you DONāT sleepā¦. at least youāre in good company!
And yeahā¦Iāve done the crutches bit, when I was a lot youngerā¦20-year-old-me even on crutches could run rings around (coughā¦mumble)-year-old-me without them.
Some days the edge of the property is farther away than other daysā¦. I donāt really know how that happens.
Some days I can run two whole errandsother days, when night falls, I thinkā¦.wellā¦okā¦at least I ā¦hmmmā¦wellā¦. Iā¦umā¦..
And Redā¦ I will never forget stopping in my tracks in the middle of a supermarketā¦.the first time I heard a schmaltzy instrumental version of āI Want to Hold Your Handā playing on their Muzak.
A year or so later, āGeorgy Girlā was ubiquitousā¦and prettified Beatle tunes were everywhereā¦.And I felt like an old fogeyā¦in my twenties!
Ah yes, he has the āWhat About Bob?ā approach to live. āBaby steps get out of bed. Baby steps get dressed. Baby steps walk out the front door. Baby stepsā¦ā
Hereās a little song from believe it or not Peter Paul and Mary called āOld Enoughāā¦^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Thanks for that Red. Definitely can relate to that song.I grew up listening to more jazz and folk music than rock. PP&M were favorites of mine, along with the Chad Mitchell Trio and some Kingston Trio ( friend of mine was in the group ).I suppose because of my Irish roots, I was really into Irish groups like The Clancy Brother. When I lived in Ireland, I got to know Ronnie Drew. Luke Kelly and the rest of the Dubliners quite well. Many nights spent " jamming" at my place after the pubs closed. Still good friends and keep in touch with Pecker Dunne.Like blues singer, I like a certain rawness to the voice ā Dylan is a good example.
Allen has been under House Arrest for almost two years. What is not visible is the House Arrest Monitor Ankle Bracelet on his right ankle. Everyday, he puts his suit on, grabs his hat and briefcase, and walks to the end of the sidewalk. Almost normal.
Next time he heads up a burglary ring, it wonāt include a ditzy purple dinosaurā¦.
I feel a bit like Allen, today. No sense in making goals that I have no desire to attain or no chance of attaining them.Think Iāll just go back to bedā¦.Whatās that ? I canāt ? I have work to do ? Money to earn ?Oh well, TGIT !
Has anyone heard from Bev ? Is it a boy or a girl ? Hope all is well. Iām sure sheās exhausted, as well as being caught up in the excitement.Iāll check back a little later ā itās 10:20pm (edt ) right now in my little part of paradise.
āGrandson arrived this am while we were enroute. 8lbs 3oz. 20ālong.Parents very proud and very tired! We plan to go home on Sunday.Not getting on gocomics so yāall can post any of this for me"
Sometimes first babies take their timeā¦ and I imagine sheās too excited to think of us!<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>>Youāre right. My first sonās mom was in labor for what seemed like days. Actually, it was only 20 hours but it seemed like forever.Needless to say, she wasnāt thanking either of us during that time !BTW heās 6ā 3" , 220 Lbs., 48 years old , living and working as a structural engineer in the Arab Emirates today.

Why not have one made that performs BOTH functions? Strum away and maybe a flute player will turn up to accompany you.
