Marla tried to forget the height of the lofty apparatus, but she kept searching for someone on the sidewalk far below.

She had an awareness of the chains made to look invisible, almost like crystal, but they did not escape the off and on glint of the sun as Marla traversed the cramped line of the high wire.

Platitudes aside, Marla wanted a particular observer to be present when she descended. The dishonorable bloke deserved to see what he had done.

I was texting my daughter today, a sorry for myself moment I’m not proud of, but here it is. I said sometimes getting older sucks the big weenie. We laughed remembering years ago when I first heard that saying in Stephen King’s movie adaptation of the novella he wrote as a teenager, titled “The Body”.

It was made into the movie “Stand by Me”, a must see if you love kids and I admit I was at the same age as the kids in the movie, and it brought back memories of conversations I had with my friends back then.

To me it is one of the best movies ever made from a Stephen King (under the name of Bachman) story. The story of the relationships of these boys is endearing.

Pez reference comes from a fireside discussion about if you could eat only one food for the rest of your life😀

You wound me with your indiscretion

Offered to you as an openness with a private truth

Of you, and me.

I must have been under a magical spell when I spoke to you

Entreating your trust

I wound up being your regretful scapegoat instead.

This country is going downhill with our Congress people just out for themselves instead of the basic principles of the way our country was started , as in For the people! Not for Myself to see how I can benefit.
Of course the radical people are either completely clueless, ignorant, or maybe brainwashed. The facts are out there, that is if they can read or see. Just ridiculous!
My favorite is the jerk who said the riot was not a riot, just people on a tourist visit. It would be almost laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous to know these people actually hold a position of power in a government seat in Congress.

Done for now but I promise I’ll be back.

Bronchitis has been my nemesis for the last two weeks, so my blogging has taken a dive. I watched this movie on Friday and recommend it, “Bandits”.

This probably doesn’t fit as a prompt response but since I just watched a true story about an incredible group of people, I had to find a place to post it. It is the story of many outstanding soldiers, most not in uniform— “The 12th Man”. If you decide to watch it I’m sure you won’t be disappointed and will marvel at the strength of each man and woman depicted.

Sylvia did not start out to live a wanton life, she merely thought she was owed something. Her parents certainly were indebted to her, only engrossed in their careers, and social status. Sylvia was a piece of the puzzle, for show. Sylvia’s life was based on showmanship, until eighteen when she decided the performance as parents’ perfect child was done.

Proceed to the next checkpoint, please. Yes, present yourself to the skinny one in the sky hued uniform; next, roll up your sleeve for the shot and return to me to sit by my side for 15 minutes.

As I have spent a lot of time alone this past year as many of us have, I feel the only growth I experience is in the realization I have too much old stuff hanging around and need to curb any growth of more stuff! I have two storage units – one from our move from TX in 1990s and one from my move in CO from 2014. I cannot even remember most of what is in the older one! 😒🥴
