do some errands for her. Being my first full day on the job I looked at the list:
Get coffee from Starbucks
Pick up my dry cleaning
At your lunch time go to my apartment and take my dog out to go potty…
I handed back the note and said “I quit!”

Watched “Den of Thieves” this weekend and saw Gerard Butler (beloved Mike from the “Olympus is Down” series) playing a relatively disgusting cop and there are many other faces you will recognize. It is violent, lots of guns, action.

Conniving
She was sometimes adept at many things and never attempted anything she knew would fail. It was a physics class and the alchemy of metal that drew her to the bar that evening. She wanted to find a drunk employee from the bank, an easily fooled man with access to gold and silver coins. She hoped to cajole him into showing her some while she distracted him long enough to pocket a few. As she sat by him at the bar retrieving a peanut snack from her décolletage, she gained his full attention.
If it hadn’t been for him tripping over a dirt clod in the bar’s parking lot, then falling on the pavement causing his unconsciousness, she almost had her task completed. Instead she left him there and got into her car and drove away.

All that was missing was the confetti. Families gathered all around, each telling their version of the game. It was the end of the season with all inexperienced members on the team except two, so the season was long and sometimes disappointing. The last game before regionals one of the more learned team members scored a goal and everyone was elated! The luncheon was full of rewarding chatter and new hopes for the next season. This was the best part of high school sports.
The chef sat uneasily on his stool overlooking the members of the class. He tried not to shift around too much on his seat, but watching the iffy talents of his pupils made him nervous. He knew they would have to learn by doing, but it was difficult watching them and staying quiet, letting them learn from their own mistakes.
It was only after one member started to beat the custard with a mixer instead of by hand, causing the concoction to spin out of the bowl and onto a nearby chair, that he uttered “mon dieu”!

Been finding it hard to be kind
Since I’ve been lost out there, losing my mind
And I still keep on searching for what I can’t find
Let me drown
Don’t wanna wash you away
I swear there’s good things that are coming your way
And I can’t be the one left here dragging you down
Let me drown
Only one knew my name
Nothing left but the summer rain
Drag me ’round ’til I never complain
Let me drown
And then suddenly we’re writing out the same old lie
When water is all around
Baby, I can be the one you drown tonight
Well, I had sun in my eyes and I’d confide
We’re no worse off than the worst of ’em, it’s fine
Never knew where was home
I slept a lifetime alone
Yeah, we had it one time but it’s gone now, it’s gone
Let me drown
I know with pleasure comes pain
I figured we were the same
But as I get older I get more afraid
Let me drown
So, no I can’t be kind since I lost my mind
And this town just ain’t big enough for the both of us now
Let me drown
No, I can’t be kind since I lost my mind
And this town just ain’t big enough for the both of us now
Let me drown

“Aha! Now admit defeat!”
“I will do no such thing, it’s a victory!”
“Every time you try to put that word in, you know it’s fake. I don’t care if you don’t have a consonant, there is no such word that has only vowels!”
The argument went on till the other players left the room. The old dictionary covered with dust was finally being put to use.

“Again? Another Saturday full of chores and shopping? I just want to watch the game. Red Sox lost last week.” Joe rose from the table, sighed, walked into the living room.
An impromptu setup shown hot dogs, beer and Red Sox pennant by his favorite chair. He smiled.

Being a very busy mom, taking care of us and our four grandparents, I heard this a lot. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise”. Early bedtimes and with our playing outside every day no matter the weather probably helped her. I did love to help her with anything🙄😂. Her own mother used to say if you think of doing a bad thing say “get thee behind me Satan”.
This is Trigger, he was our wonderful red chestnut quarter horse. He was a well- trained reining cow-pony. When Dad got on him, Trigger got excited, his head went up and Dad put him through the paces; turning on a dime, figure eights, short stops.
Then to test for safety for us kids, he rode him at full gallop up and down the hill farm pasture and through a swamp. Trigger never
stumbled so Dad said, “Yup, he’ll do’.
