Joe undressed, leaned back on the cushion, plopped his feet on the coffee table and drank heartily from the wine glass. “Well what’s on the docket tonight?”

Okay, I endured the dressing up. I endured the humility of wearing a piece of people clothing. Notice I didn’t say human, because there is no humanity in dressing up a dignified animal, moi, in human attire. You may wear anything you choose and sometimes remain naked. Should not I have the same privilege? And now we’re in the car, hallelujah! Time for a vet appointment? Another no choice option. How long has it been since you had a physical? See? No equality here, madam! Wait till we get home and I’ll show you how I appreciate my outing.

Mask
Wear one
It will help
You, your children
Grandparents, friends
Is it really too much to ask
Help contain disease.

2022? So much for confidence in leadership. Does he think we’ll be done come spring? Wyoming isn’t the only place full of idiots,š

Congratulations to these painters reminding us to wear masks and be vigilant. If we tried this in Wyoming we’d be arrested.š·

I live in Wyoming and in our outing yesterday we were the only ones wearing masksāadults and children alikeācraziness! I do not understand it.

A get together with grandkids since they were home from college and a trip to the mall. Then lunch from a drive-thru and the usual conversation and laughs. Always ending up at Barnes and Noble to browse but no purchases since all of us had a couple of books at home we needed to read first.
As usual, these car trips involve listening to their latest music favoritesāsometimes the age gap comes to play. I always learn a new phrase, this time it was SMH which Iāve seen but never looked upāand in case youāre near my age, it means shake my head. I thought it hilarious. I need these outings to keep myself informed about important things š
At least I already knew who BTS and Glass Animals were! Itās not easy keeping upāŗļø Someone mentioned green door and I said, thatās a great old song. Polite kids listened to it but thereās definitely a generation gap in music. š

“A white sport coat and a pink carnation” was playing in the background. The restaurant was average but the food delicious. I asked the chef for the specials of the night.
A first date, wanting to impress on a limited budget, I planned ahead. In cooperation with my waiter friend, he suggested the three specials that I could afford. She seemed happy with that so when served, I started to relax. Luckily she was a teetotaler so no added beverages to pay for.
You may think I was acting on the cheap, and I guess I was, but she was impressed nevertheless. Any man worth his salt would try to do his best even if it takes a little conniving.

Joni Mitchell wrote lyrics and melodies that stuck in your head and they still do, almost fifty years laterš„°

see orange lights gleam
night of dark dreams and wonder
autumn feels in air
