The Bag Lady

Junior! How do you expect to blend in when you are dressed in those pressed jeans with a huge crease down the front?

Go change immediately! Not to ramble on about fashion, but you tend to do your own thing and it is just not acceptable here.

I have enclosed a GQ magazine subscription in your gift bag and the latest issue to help. If you want to fit in, you need to dress the part.

Two new offerings: “Annette” on Prime and “Reminiscence” on HBO left me wondering what world I’m living in.

Let me preface this with: anything I write here on my blog is my opinion only.

I had just finished rewatching “Game of Thrones” and looking for something to see when the family is gone to Denver for soccer. Many people consider GoT not worth watching but I loved it and watched all the behind the scenes showing how much was put into making this triumph.

As for the first mentioned efforts I shake my head. Not being an Adam Driver fan in the first place I decided to give it a go. The first five minutes I thought, well is this another “Rocky Horror” type? After ten minutes, I gave up. It’s not worth watching even that long – again IMO.

I love Hugh Jackman and was looking forward to his new movie, “Reminiscence” and watched a while longer hoping for a better story with better acting and found none. Sad to say it’s another fail IMO.

If you have seen these shows, tell me what you think. I’m interested because the first one, “Annette” received great reviews. Maybe I’m just not getting it—😵‍💫😃

*** – Horror?

As the shimmer of daylight entered from the curtain, she turned away to go back to sleep. It had been another rough night, remembering the last few days. She wasn’t surprised at their happening, all knew it was coming. The sight of gauze wrapped bodies in hospital halls was now inscribed forever.

***-or Humor?

“Rough night my darlin’?” Shea sauntered into the pub with a knowing smile. It might have been they knew her too well or was it the shimmer of the coins she had in her palm?

Another surge of COVID and those who lie dying on hospital floors of ICUs, fighting the storm of disease while parents of children counter the protection of wearing masks. This insidious role sends a sorry message to the men and women on the front lines who are giving their lives to tend and save the afflicted.

What dry gust of ignorance blinds these people to be vigilant? Is it just the fashion of the day to try to dismantle the work of scientists or selfish ill will? The helpless will suffer their parents’ wrath.

While traveling away on foreign leas

Sent his wife blooms a sail on the seas

And hoped she would admire their scent

But even knowing his sincerity meant

She spied them with harsh avail

“I hope these weeds were on sale!”

A simple ode for a Saturday dawn

Cooler days here, a summer to mourn

Autumn feels shown in the breeze

Harvest time is near

Those foods we hold dear

Are the delicious ripe fruit in the trees.

In a world now quite precarious

Few remain gregarious

It could be fear

For ones you hold dear

Or simply that you’re not hilarious!

When doubt and lack of hope

Are prevalent in the news

It’s difficult for your muse

To see humor or tell a joke

It should never stop the guile

Of showing the eyes of a smile

It gets you over the pile

Of the subjected daily vile.

In a world turned upside down, it is hard to remain positive. Here we sit precariously or fall into the abyss. It is our choice to hold on or let go.
