Are you as tired as I am trying to find something new worth watching at home? I am going back to series I enjoyed to rewatch and “Endeavour” is on the list. Initially I saw this on PBS and now it is available on Amazon. As always, I recommend starting with Season one, episode one, to see the characters develop.

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You’ll drink the night away
And forget about ev’rythingThis city desert makes you feel so cold
It’s got so many people, but it’s got no soul
And it’s taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everythingYou used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you’re tryin’, you’re tryin’ now
Another year and then you’d be happy
Just one more year and then you’d be happy
But you’re cryin’, you’re cryin’ nowWay down the street there’s a light in his place
He opens the door, he’s got that look on his face
And he asks you where you’ve been
You tell him who you’ve seen
And you talk about anythingHe’s got this dream about buying some land
He’s gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he’ll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev’rythingBut you know he’ll always keep movin’
You know he’s never gonna stop movin’
‘Cause he’s rollin’, he’s the rolling stone
When you wake up, it’s a new mornin’
The sun is shinin’, it’s a new mornin’
You’re goin’, you’re goin’ homeSource: MusixmatchSongwriters: Gerry RaffertyBaker Street lyrics © Stage Three Music (catalogues) Limited
For me it is Senator Durbin and his closing statement on 10/27/21 defending AG Garland after he was rudely grilled by repetitive questions. These overbearing congressmen and women are out of control in these circumstances. Instead of asking one question and waiting for an answer, they berate and speechify their opinions and rhetoric for the camera. There is no expected decorum in these sessions accomplishing anything, it is just the actions of a three year old playground.

Thought I better not procrastinate
And make some warming apple cider
A Halloween delight, having then decided
To give no spooky treat for tiny goblins hiding
And abet unfriendly tricks that might be biding.

Friday’s here! And so am I with your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I have a phone appointment with the doctor to find out what Alex’s ultrasound showed regarding his pain. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious! Oh, and Happy Halloween on Sunday! Here’s your prompt for this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “boo.” Find a word with the letters “boo” in it or use “boo” as is and base your post on it. Enjoy!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here to this week’s prompt page and check to make sure it’s here in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!

“Book’em, Danno”was my first thought when seeing the prompt and that shows how my morning’s going. I woke up dreaming of the past which is usually never good because it leads to depressing thoughts of the old woulda coulda shoulda syndrome. You know the one, reliving something stupid you said or did. We all have them, at least I think we all do, well with the exception of Trump. Surprise—I’m leaving it there, for a while, till after coffee.
I’m not a fan of getting up in the dark and it’s cold. I’d much rather be blinded at five am with sunshine. Even a child running in the room and jumping on the bed with a Halloween boo would be preferable🎃.

Round and delicious autumn treat
Look at my coloring—stripes are neat!
Eat me or carve me, have some fun
For a Jack o lantern, I’m the one!

“Welcome to the III section of the business, Jerry. Here is where we use the three “I”s—imagination, innovation, and inventiveness which our company has the reputation for. Everyone who works in this department thinks great things; that nothing is impossible if you work hard, then creates those things in usable form. Watch your step here, you wouldn’t want to fall. You never know what old Jonesy is working on down there,” chuckling.
“Gee, Mr. Smythe, this sure is awesome”, fiddling with a screwdriver. Jerry unwittingly unscrews a huge loose bolt, sending it plummeting towards Jonesy’s area.
“Fore!” Mr. Smythe yells.

Each doll had a body, no head
The children had hidden them under their bed
The children were vicious it is true
Not like the children of me or you
They ripped dolls apart, thought it was fun
Put their heads in a tray. . .every one
They weren’t allowed costumes to go out for a treat
Thought breaking up dolls would be just as neat
They left them headless which was great scary fare
Trick or treaters saw severed heads in a layer
It frightened them so they forgot their treats
Then the shut-in children had lots to eat.

Waking up at four with a problem, my whole day has been off and wonky. I have been saved by a few bloggers’ posts, however and one reminded me of a movie. A saying from the movie is frequently used by my family. Do yourself a favor and give it a look see 😄
“The Sandlot”
