The good old days, when you could open a container of anything without a drill bit.

Thinking about life and stuff

Wondering just what time it was

I lost my verve, my nerve, my “fluff”

Shouldn’t have taken time to pause

Doubt if I’ll ever discover the cause

When I knew it would never be enough.

Excerpts from President Obama’s statement to CNN:

Sounds pretty clear to me, it’s up to us to make changes happen.

Gotta love the 80’s! Loved the music and the Eddie Murphy character in “Beverly Hills Cop” movies, still makes me laugh, and laughing is always a good thing! And so is dancing. Check out the clothes and hairstyles!☺️

The compass always pointed north

Moving forward, not looking back

To achieve happiness, it was the promise,

A desire to achieve with a payoff.

***

What entices us to look back

Retrieve memories sad and useless

Worrisome regrets that can’t be undone

There is no reward in this.

Stretching, wiggling, washing it’s paws, the feral feline continued its surveillance of the wedged hedge where three upcoming baby birds happily chirped together. The temporary separation from their mother and nest sent chills up the cat’s spine and gastronomical gurgling in his empty stomach. The idea that he held a grudge against these cute creatures was horrid hogwash. The curious cat merely needed lunch after a long morning enforcing bylaw boundaries of the growing garden from snooping snakes and rummaging rats.

Whack went the board

For actions untoward

Causing a yelp

From the offensive whelp

His crime was a nude unclothed diving splish

In public pool, initiation enlist.

Standing, peering into the thicket

Hoping, yet not anxious to see the lightened end, the curtain pulled

Disclosing the elephant in the room.

Standing, wondering, curious, yet not.

You’ve been here before at the base of a mountain,

Previously climbed with success

This day it seems higher, rockier.

Is it ever going to be yielding, steady on

Or is life like this hollow in the tangles?

Stepping in, unsure if your arrival will be

Free, unscathed, or will you be consumed and disappear.

I was hesitant to see this movie because I think the truer story was told in “The Right Stuff”, but my family loved it. Living in Houston at the time, visiting the space center, it was all too real when the Gemini tragedy happened. I also was not impressed with John Glenn in the RS. This shows a different picture of him. I’m sure you would enjoy both films.

I had cold leftover spaghetti noodles; added sweet onion, celery, carrots, croutons, shredded mozzarella, and topped with “Kens Lite Italian dressing with Romano cheese”, my favorite light Italian dressing. It doesn’t have that odd flavoring so many others use. I needed a fresh cool lunch. I added what fresh veggies I had, but would have liked to add broccoli and cauliflower too. Yum!
