Old song running through my head on this turning terrible day, but I suppose magic moments might occur…doubtful. (Med side effects).
“Don’t you have any sense? Those costumes have been down in the cellar for years! They’re probably moldy; in fact I think those are the scents we’re smelling now!”
“Well what’s your suggestion then? Going to a costume seller and spending mucho dollars and cents on a paper one? It won’t last a half hour when we go to that party, and then we’ll look like all the other losers who didn’t wear one.”
Joe put his hand on his brother’s shoulder, “okay, okay, let’s see if mom can clean them enough to wear.”

The closet door
Hiding who knows what
She heard the squeak
Not wanting to see more
But plied the hinge
With liberal oil
Thought “whatever lurks
I can foil!“
Her mind spoke, “are you mad?”
Then it jumped out, raggedy clad
It’s voice uttered, “glad you’re here
I’ve been stuck inside for years
A wonder I’ve not met my end
If not for rats I’d be death wend”
She stood aback, not really scared
And helped it, happy to be aired
“I’ll call an ambulance”, she murmured
But it ran away as her eyes averted
When her husband came, he fixed a lock
No more would creatures be in that box.

This afternoon-Friday- after I had pre-scheduled the above post, I read this very sad news: CNN) – Robbie Coltrane, the actor who brought to life the lovable gamekeeper Hagrid in the Harry Potter film franchise, died on Friday, according to his agent, Scott Henderson. He was 72.
You will be missed. I have watched RC since he played on the series “Cracker”.

Postman delivered
A past due bill notice
The alarm clock rang two hours late
The garbage man left all the trash
On the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off of the gate
This morning at breakfast
I spilled all the coffee
When I opened the door on my knee
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Last night, you came home late
I knew you’d been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
I thought, “It don’t matter
‘Cause it’s the holiday season”
And you fill such a big empty space
And I laid down beside you
And I wanted your lovin’
‘Cause your love makes my life complete
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
So excuse me for lookin’
Like my world just ended
And excuse me for lookin’
Like I just lost my best friend
And excuse me for livin’
Being forgiven
Just go on if you wanna be free
The last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

“I take it as a given that no one really likes to see me in my official capacity, but doctor Chau seemed more annoyed than most. I showed up for the open heart surgery she was performing. “Tell me that’s not the person I think it is”, Chau said to Shiela Reeves. Reeves, the hospital administrator, had accompanied me into the scrub room. Chau was scrubbing up and after her initial glance refused to look at me, as well as several other members, scrubbing up for the operation.”
The Dispatcher is a 2016 science fiction novella by John Scalzi. It was originally published as an audiobook from Audible, read by Zachary Quinto.
From Goodreads: “…Tony Valdez is a Dispatcher – a licensed, bonded professional whose job is to humanely dispatch those whose circumstances put them in death’s crosshairs, so they can have a second chance to avoid the reaper.”
I found mixed reviews but I really enjoyed this book. One review said it had no humor but I strongly disagree. I listened to it on the audible app and liked the narrator. I also liked the sequel. It has an old radio-noir-mystery feeling to it.
