I am so with you on this one! I want to not care what people think about my painting, but painting is important to me, so I do care. It is MUCH easier to hear critiques from people that I don't know than it is to hear them from people close to me. I wish, wish, wish that I could get to the "don't care" stage, but I'm not there, yet, ...but my goal is to get there. I think about your uncle's comments often! Loved that earlier blog post (along with this one, of course!)!

Donna Connolly

HI, Syd - Perhaps if you played for Kim and Jeff first that would help. They sound like kind, supportive friends, who understand how incredibly terrifying it can be to perform in front of someone else. Good luck!

Hey Sydney… Thank you for being brave and sharing your true thoughts and feelings. Do you have Netflix? If so, I highly recommend Brene Brown’s ‘The call to courage.’ I think it will address a lot of what you’re talking about.
And after that, you need to watch Hannah Gadsby’s ‘Nanette.’
I promise both will change your life!
And maybe your performance anxiety...

PS Both of those women use strong language. (I don’t want your readers to check them out and get an unwelcome surprise.)
Brene Brown addresses your topic directly. And Hannah Gadsby just makes you want to embrace your own truth.
Let me know what you think!

Angela: I don't mind strong language--I kind of like it . . . Anyway I will definitely watch. I mean, I even tried hypnosis--what have I got to lose watching a couple Netflix shows! I will report back my progress.

Donna: I have, and they are my favorite audience. Kim especially.

Marie: I totally get it--but again, I have to tell you, I LOVED your work. Maybe we just need to learn to hear that . . .

Dave Walsh

Hi Syd, I think this is something that performers (musicians, actors or public speakers, etc...) all encounter. It's what gives you the energy to do your best. After 35 years in sales, I still would get nervous addressing groups. People told me I did a great job but I always was hyper-aware of what people thought. I learned to begrudgingly accept it. The best advice I ever heard was, "it's not about ridding the butterflies but about getting them to fly in formation." ;-)

Dave: I like that one about the butterflies!

About those recitals.....my daughter teaches voice and piano to all ages. Her recitals are in somewhat intimate, informal settings .. think stage lighting, pizza, and great sound technicians. There is a mixture of the serious and the not so serious pieces, some funky duets, some play/sing something that they have written, a bit of Taylor Swift etc. I think the atmosphere takes the pressure off but they still want to do their best. You can tell that a few older students are a little nervous but most of the students are just having a great time. Last time it ended with several pieces by a teenage band (lead singer is her voice student). Most of what they did was excellent, but once they messed up , just laughed it off, stopped and told a joke and started again. .Fun times for all... as it should be.

So glad you are back.

Thank you Judy! I used to perform in a lot of plays and musicals when I was a kid, and although I got nervous, it was kind of excited nerves. The ones I feel as an adult are more anxiety nerves. I need to capture that spirit of being a kid I think . . .

lc skupien

i admire your perseverance and courage to perform, even with shaky hands. Obviously your joy in the music and in working to become the musician you want to be trumps the performance jitters. Bravo!

lc: Well I will admit it keeps getting marginally easier. So I have faith that someday it won't be quite so terrifying. . .

What kind of style is Doug’s playing- jazz? Classical? Blues? Combination?

I also want to express enthusiasm for your return to blogging even if it is short lived. Would love to see you play since i live near you (Mt. View) and since you don’t know me you won’t be nervous!

What I also think is your more experienced perspective on retirement will mean that those who have been at it for awhile will get a hint of how interests and activities change now that you are not a newbie or looking to catch up on all the fun that you had to put off during your career. You are still helping to see ahead!

Luisa: Doug mostly plays classic rock. Beatles, Eagles, Bread, that kind of stuff. Although he and I play a few jazz tunes together. Ok, now Mountain View--that's where I do my classes--at CSMA. So, maybe I will have to invite you to my next recital. That might be TOO much to ask, to read my blog AND to listen to me play piano!

Welcome back Syd!! I would be nervous too. But when I watch others perform, I'm usually in awe that they have the nerves to do it.

Bridget: Now that's some good perspective.

Comedy Best Bet: Ralphie May

Ralphie May
Kalamazoo State Theatre
March 25, 7:30 p.m.
$29-$49, (800) 745-3000

Yes, Ralphie May is a hilarious comedian. Yes, he's also a "Last Comic Standing" superstar. And yes, he's perhaps just a little bit rotund. But did you know that he also performed at the Gathering of the Juggalos this past year?! OK, maybe that last factoid is the least impressive on a Ralphie May fact sheet. (Or maybe it's the most impressive. I don't know you. I don't know your life.) But what really matters, I think we'd all agree, are the laughs. The big, hearty, full-bodied laughs. With a swell guy like Ralphie, you can reasonably expect to have laughs delivered by the bucketful. I won't go for a cheap KFC extra crispy bucket joke here, but I will say this: as the mic-master of no less than four hour-long Comedy Central specials, May always comes out swinging like a champ. Oh yes; rest assured that he's worth his weight in comedy gold – valuable down to the very last pound. And this is probably something even Juggalos and us normies alike can bond over together.

If you travel across northern Oklahoma on the Oklahoma Adventure Trail, you will run across two markers close together – a Cowboy Grave marker and the Old Sewell Stockade. If you are not careful, you can miss one or the other, thinking the are one GPS waypoint. One is on the north side and one on the south side of the road. Both are about a mile south of the old ghost town of Jefferson, Oklahoma.

The marker on the south is what I call “Cowboy Tombstone”. It was erected in 1937 by the Pond Creek and Medford Lions Club and says:

“On this spot lie buried two cowboys who gave their lives in winning the frontier to civilization. Tom Best road south from Kansas in 1872 to join the Texas cattle drivers, but was killed by hostile indians a short distance north of this point. Ed Chambers, in 1873, rode north with a herd from Texas, and he, too, was killed by Indians about a mile southeast of here.”

It seems to me a bit odd that this marks the spot where two cowboys died, out of hundreds or thousands that died all across Oklahoma during the 1800’s. Still, this is a cool marker to visit if you are in the area.

You can download the GPS waypoints below:

Cowboy gravestone along the Oklahoma Adventure Trail

This cowboy gravestone south of Jefferson, Oklahoma is on the Oklahoma Adventure Trail - OAT - and marks the spot where two cowboys were killed.

Retrospective: 1994-1998 Ducati 916 Strada

Ducati 916
The Ducati 916 is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made. Photos by the author.

When Ducati announces a new model, the world of motorcycling sits up and pays attention. In the factory in the back streets of Bologna, brilliant engineers have turned out brilliant motorcycles for decades. Back in 1973, Fabio Taglioni came out with the 750SS, a 90-degree, air-cooled L-twin with two valves per cylinder having desmodromic actuation. A new engineer, Massimo Bordi, replaced Taglioni in the early 1980s, and he began work on updating the L-twin, with liquid cooling and four desmo valves per cylinder. However, this was an expensive proposition, and it wasn’t until Cagiva bought Ducati in 1985 that Bordi had the money to do proper development. Much of that work was done at the Cagiva research center in Varese, 150 miles northwest of Bologna. And the result was the Ducati 851 model (Retrospective, July 2007), introduced in November of 1987, which grew to the 888 in 1993.

Ducati 916
The 916 was fitted with a single-sided swingarm and twin exhaust tucked under the tail.

Another engineer, Massimo Tamburini, was the fellow who actually designed the 916, replacing the 888, the first one appearing in October 1993 at the annual Italian motorcycle show. Initially it had a very limited production run but it was such a success at the track that a clamor went up for more bikes. The 916 was only in production five years, but in four of them it won the Superbike World Championship as well as the Manufacturer’s Championship. Can’t do much better than that, a compliment to a great engine, great chassis and great riders.

The Strada version was a slightly humanized, but only slightly, street-legal variation, and the relatively wealthy riding public had a chance to buy one—expensive at $14,500, but a lot cheaper than Honda’s RC45 at $27,000.

Ducati 916
The monoposto tail section hints at the 916’s racing lineage.

The appeal of the 916 appeared to be a balance between performance and image, with practicality a distant third. The short-stroke engine (stroke: 66mm, bore: 94mm) revved happily to 9,000 rpm and churned out more than 100 horsepower at the rear wheel. With stock gearing that was good for 160 mph. Maintenance was essential, as the overhead cams were spun with rubber belts—which needed to be changed regularly. The Weber-Marelli fuel system injected mixture into the combustion chambers through 50mm venturi openings, with an 11:1 compression ratio. The geared primary ran the power through a dry clutch (delightfully noisy), then through six gears, and out via chain final drive.

Ducati 916
Four-piston Brembo calipers squeeze dual 305mm discs. ABS was not an option.

The twin-spar trellis frame, with a direct line from the steering head to the swingarm pivot, was made of 28mm chrome-moly steel tubing, and the engine was a stressed member. An aluminum rear subframe was bolted on to hold the solo saddle…and under the tail section sat the easily accessible lightweight central processing unit. Anything heavy, like the battery or coolant container, was crammed into the centralized mass around the engine. That single-sided swingarm used a pivot bolt that ran through both the frame and the engine cases, creating a desirable stiffness in the whole chassis. It also facilitated tire changes, and used a single Showa shock absorber with all compression, rebound and preload adjustments, though an Öhlins upgrade was popular, as seen on the photo bike. Up front a 43mm Showa fork, also fully adjustable, coped with the bumps in the road. In this case “fully” means the rider also had one degree of adjustment in the fork angle, an unusual addition to steerability. A steering damper was attached in front of the gas tank and did its job well.

Ducati 916
The 916 was most at home on a racetrack; extended rides were a recipe for a sore back, shoulders and hands.

Seventeen-inch wheels had large 190/50 rubber at the back, much skinnier 120/70 at the front, with both Pirellis and Michelins being used. A pair of 305mm Brembo discs with four-piston calipers worked efficiently at the front, with a single 200mm disc at the back. Wheelbase was a tidy 55.6 inches, with a claimed wet weight, including 4.5 gallons of fuel, of 430 pounds.

A repli-racer is not concerned with the rider’s feelings, especially not the feelings in his bum. A cheerful hour on the road was about all a mere mortal wanted. The bike was bred for the track, and the street version did not give much comfort. A two-seater version, the Biposto, became available, but it was rumored that passengers were hard to find.

Ducati 916
The all-analog dash was simple and effective.

Beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder, but most beholders of the 916 would agree that this was one outstandingly lovely creation, the pure aesthetics of it turning any head. The sultry lines of the fairing were a credit to the Italian notion of styling, set off by the dual headlights and the three-spoke cast Marchesini wheels.

Turn the key and the Termignoni exhausts (this owner has changed to Borla mufflers) would begin with a muted bark. Stand the bike up and the spring-loaded sidestand would snap up quickly—a feature some riders thought of as “kamikaze.” Lose your balance while trying to get the stand on the ground, and a rider could damage “one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made.”

Pull in the clutch, down for first, and away you go. Perhaps not the most graceful of departures, as the 916 did not much like being under 4,000 rpm, but soon you are on the narrow, curvy two-laner you call your own, the exhaust note at high rpm saying that all is right with the world.

Of course, if one did not have to have the latest and greatest, Ducati’s low-price option was the 904cc 900SS CR for $7,625. But any red-blooded Ducatista was willing to take an extra mortgage out on the house to have the 916.

  1. The 916 ranks as one of the prettiest bikes ever made, especially for a fully faired bike. In my opinion, the only other bike to come close was the ’05-09 Triumph Sprint ST which was also a stunner.

    But for the pure essence of motorcycling, nothing really comes close to a raw, purposeful, bare bones bike, one with the mark of sheer simplicity of appearance. I’m talking Sportster, ZRX1200, Bonneville and the like. That’s what a motorcycle is supposed to look like.

    • Interesting – I have an 06 Sprint and a ZRX1100 (green/white/purple, the fastest colors!). No Ducati’s, though I would not pass up a decent 916 some day when I win the lottery.

Finger Size Wizard
Finger Size Wizard

The ring size wizard helps to measure your finger so you know the correct ring size to include in your design.

 Measuring your finger does not interfere with the rest of the design process.
In Step 1, calibrate the pixel size on your screen by using a ruler to measure the length of the blue bar. After that, use your keyboard left or right keys to move the slider.
In step 2, after adjusting the true length of the blue line, measure the line again to ensure its length is between 19.5 and 20mm. This will complete the screen calibration process.
In step 3 place the ring finger on the vertical red bar and use the left and right keyboard arrows to adjust the width of the red bar until the full width of the bar is covered below the knuckle section of the finger, ensuring that no part of the red bar is visible.

He leads, He restores, He prepares…

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures.  He leads me beside still waters.  He restores my soul.  He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil;  my cup overflows.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23

I was sitting here this morning overwhelmed.  Overwhelmed with grief and how it complicates everyday life.  I won’t go into all of it, but the stress of family, finances, activities, obligations etc can take a real toll on a weary soul.

Living life with grief, a scattered brain, unanswered texts, missed appointments, calls that need to be returned, thank you notes that need to be written, tasks and chores left undone, and friendships that need tending to….have me before the Lord asking for MORE of Him during this season.  I need Him now more than yesterday and I am more thankful today for sweet friends and family that have endured the uncertainty of this journey and encouraged me more than you may ever know!  I am LOVED.  I am grateful.

I was blessed to be part of a sweet time of prayer and praise last night with a dear friend whose husband is Home with the Lord after battling brain cancer.  I listened to the honest, simple prayers of 13 & 14 year old girls as they prayed over their friend who misses her Daddy.  I love that this family absolutely knows where their help comes from, and the LIGHT that shines from their testimony is inspiring to me.  There was an unexplainable peace and even joy as we gathered in the front yard declaring that Jesus is still enough in the middle of a storm.  It is only because of Jesus that we can both mourn and rejoice during our suffering here on earth.

I think God wants us to live transparent and vulnerable.  I believe we are to live in FREEDOM, because in Christ we are VICTORIOUS!!  (..this is just me…preaching much needed truths to my heart 🙂  )

Please Jesus help us to remember that today, and flood us with MORE of you and give us opportunity to share this with others that need more than what this world can offer.

My prayer is that I would not believe the lies of the enemy as he tries to convince me that in my grief “I can’t….” or “that’s too hard…”  I want to keep moving from ‘here to THERE’…show us how to keep moving and to point others to You.  It’s just JESUS.

Jesus.  Jesus.  Jesus

We  still need your help to get our kids sponsored!

We would  be SO grateful if you would pray about your involvement and how God might be able to use you.

So many times in the past… opportunities fell right into my lap that I basically ignored.  I often put things off or assumed someone else would do it.  Please don’t miss the blessing!

Thank you in advance for  praying with us that each of these boys will get sponsored!

The deadline is Monday OCTOBER 3!!

Another simple but powerful piece of code I get asked for a lot:  Age calculations.  it sounds so simple…but it isn’t!  You can use variations of this for other purposes like aging receivables, calculating time lapse, etc.

Requirement:  a date field (in this case I have their birthday in [DOB] which is a date field storing mm/dd/yyyy).

Add an unbound field on the form or report, set it’s value to this:

No more work figuring out age!

The why not go the extra mile, and add code to alert the user a birthday is coming up.  You need to grab ONLY the Month and Day, NOT the year.  Then test to see if that is within a week either way of today’s date.  if it is, use conditional formatting, or pop up a message, or alert the user…never miss a client birthday wish if they are at your office when you pull them up in the system!

Rocket Validator looks for accesibility violations on your pages using the axe-core accessibility engine, hosted on our own servers and integrated into our web crawler. You don't need to buy an additional license, everything's already included in your Pro account at Rocket Validator.

WCAG: Best Practice: ARIA role must be appropriate for the element

Values assigned to WAI-ARIA role attributes must be valid. This means values must be spelled correctly, correspond to existing ARIA role values, and must not be abstract roles in order to correctly expose the purpose of the element.

Intended accessible technology behavior by a developer is not enabled when an assigned WAI-ARIA role value is invalid for the parent element.

When screen readers and other assistive technologies do not know the role of each element on the web page, they are not able to interact with it intelligently, nor are they able to communicate the role to the user. When the value for a role is invalid, there is no way to communicate the element's features, properties, and methods to assistive technologies. For example, applying role="table" to a <ul> effectively hijacks the default semantics associated with the <ul> element in a way that screenreaders do not expect resulting in unexpected behavior.

One More Night, Gimme Just One More Night

Cupcakes by Annie and Clough Street Cakes. Ain’t they sweet?

The last thing I want is to be a bore. (Not true; the last thing I want is another biopsy, but I think I made that pretty clear already.) However, I did leave my post last week on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I thought I would give an update on my medical progress before returning to regular programming.

First of all, hello, I’m still here. So that’s good news.

I reported to surgery last Thursday at 6 a.m. where I joined a group of about seven others scheduled for various procedures. We changed into our gowns (not together, obviously) and were escorted en masse to a staging area with numbered chairs and beds.

We each sat in our assigned place, and one after another we were approached by members of the surgical team who asked questions and then darted away. It was like speed dating but without the wine.

Eventually they called me in. I lay back on the table as everyone busied around me. A mask was placed on my face, something was injected, and I felt my soul being sucked out of me. It was just like when I watched The Girl on the Train a couple of nights later.

I woke up with six holes stapled shut across my abdomen and a tube inserted where no tube should ever be.

At the end of the afternoon, my doctor came by to tell me he was pleased with the surgery and that everything around my now non-existent prostate looked good. He also told me I didn’t have many lymph nodes to remove. So this: did you know people had varying numbers of lymph nodes? That seems a pretty imprecise way to run a human body.

I was released the next day. I’ll say this about hospitals: you don’t have to worry about a thing. They bring your food and pills, they check your vitals, and there are buttons to call for assistance or to adjust your position just so. By the second day, the nurses were quite interested in whether I had passed gas, but given that they discharged me before my having done so, maybe that was just personal curiosity.

So when I got home and had to do all these things myself, along with Deb and her amazing, patient care (in both senses of the word), I’ve tended to have had some down days.

Little things dragged me down. Fatigue, pain in my shoulders, not being able to do what I wanted, Phil Collins’ “One More Night” going through my head for, like, three straight days. The !$#?*! tube. General worrying about things. Have I passed gas? Have I passed too much gas? Is everything sterile? Is that even possible in this house?

Many kind and beautiful people read last week’s column and congratulated me on being brave, optimistic and good humoured about it all. Indeed, I should be ecstatic that the cancer is out of me. And I am certainly relieved. But I think I may also be in a kind of mourning for my old body before it betrayed me, my old life before it changed for good. Just because it’s good news doesn’t mean I’m not sad.

I actually hesitated putting my story out there, but now I’m so glad I did, because I’ve received so many messages of support, so many stories of people who have kicked cancer’s ass. And these never fail to revive me from my funk (a good shower also helps).

Emails, texts, comments, people stopping by.

Annis sharing her story about how leaving the body behind leads to greater faith in the spirit.

Sarah who offered to send me dried seal jerky “because nothing is as bad as that.”

Mark sending me a pic of his planned reading material (Hemingway, vintage Mad).

Altan confirming that the Western way of saying “no” by shaking one’s head back and forth has no meaning in Turkey.

Kim and Annie sending funny videos.

Andy popping in.

Mike dropping by with a card from my co-workers that made me tear up.

Steve and Karen knowing what fun can be had with helium balloons.

Rebecca openly cussing cancer.

Laurie calling me (more cussing).

My lovely family familying.

So many others, too many to name, so many kind thoughts and wishes from near and far. This has given me cheer. My body may have let me down, but my friends haven’t. This has been the best medicine.

And that is all.

  1. Thank you for sharing your story and your feelings, Ross. Your writing is truly healing for many, I am sure, even if that is not necessarily your objective in publishing it. Best wishes to you and your family, and may you never have a need for that damn tube ever again.

  2. So glad to read that all went well, Ross, and I hope that you have a speedy recovery. Those cupcakes are awesome:)

  3. Susan Nairn says:

    Happy to read the surgery went well. All the best for a speedy recovery! Cupcakes always help.

  4. Gavin Keenan says:

    Good luck from The States……..and I’m glad you passed gas.

  5. YOU ARE LOVED, brother. Never forget it. Do you know who didn’t love you? Your prostate. And look what happened to it.

    Those gowns are specially designed to prevent escape. So you’d better make up your mind before you get into one because after you do, it’s too late.

    Re: hospital stays. A friend of mine was an RN in a poor neighborhood of Manhattan. They had a hard time getting people to leave. At the hosp, you’re fed regularly, have a clean bed and it’s quiet. Not so at home.

  6. ksbeth says:

    so good to hear the positive results. ❤

  7. markbialczak says:

    Your good news is great to hear, Ross.

  8. richwrapper says:

    Reblogged this on richwrapper and commented:
    Ross Murray’s saga continues. I actually have a connection with the man: I spent slightly more than three years being Canadian. Free-state, kindergarten, First Grade and a small portion of Second Grade at Argentia Naval Air State (with a preliminary stop in Placentia), Argentia, Newfoundland, Canada. Loved every minute of it: even school (we had a playground in our classrooms in all three grades…each class was a whole wing of a regular-sized barracks wing!). When you consider Winter sometimes begins in August and ends sometimes in April, indoor recess facilities for elementary-aged youths are probably even more important than restrooms. And, Ross’ tales of prostate procedures perhaps even moreso.

  9. richwrapper says:

    Didn’t know my “reblog” of Ross Murray’s delightful – uggh! how can you say CANCER is delightful, you cad! Right on the cad part! but i must desist digress – accounts of Dealings With Prostate Cancer. I learned this much – and not much more, especially the part about “Duck!” – in the U. S. Marine Corps in combat: you gotta laugh at what you can not control. Who knows? I may even find my laughing self in front of an oncologist someday…Real Soon Now. Thanks, Ross.

      • richwrapper says:

        As I enter the Entropic part of my corporal existence, Ross, I so do endeavor. It now takes two ounces of alcohol (not every day of course, some days none and some days three) to get me where I want to go – thee produces headaches ofttimes. So I do not drive downtown – 1.5K but walk as I well might tip a stine en route back from the library and its internet…my computers are too young for The Web. My garden gives me three full seasons of veg and fruits abound – most on trees. No, guttermind, tomatoes do not grow on trees and I usually expect ripe ‘maters, peppers and other such belladona relatives up to 10 months of the year. Except for a few bits of North Vietnam metal peppering my body in inconvenient (to scratch) places I am most gratefully healthy. My bloodwork (done by a pal, a former active duty Marine now employed as a county health worker/consultant) reveals I have all but one blood pressure issue registering in the fine to exceptional categories. But there be buses…and trucks…and cars and I swim-walk uphill a mile-and-more back to the office from downtown…and when I work I get in upwards of 20 klicks (kilometers…and, why, pray, do all but Americans pronounce it Kill-ohm-eters and the rest of the world seems intent on mis-saying Killoh-meters?

  10. That is good news Ross. Seems we humans save our best for the worst of times. I guess that is how it should be. I am pleased that you are surrounded by love and support!

  11. Susan C. Mastine says:

    So glad to have the update, Ross. Love it! Sending you hugs…

  12. You had me cracking up. I’m no cancer survivor, so I’m not going to pretend I understand. Nor do I have a prostrate :/ (coz I’m a woman :p) But I have beaten an autoimmune disease which my doctor said there is no cure for.

    Your spirit is amazing. I’m sure there is nothing that you cannot trump. God be with you.

  13. I don’t know about you, but If you’re anywhere my age, our bodies have been slowly letting us down for a few years now, right? I try to think of how much luckier I am than I’ll be twenty years from now. 🙂 Seriously, you have a wonderful voice. I wish you the best as you work your way through this.

  14. Dealing with a loss in our family the last couple of weeks, so I completely missed your posts on this. I’m so glad the prognosis is good, Ross and as usual, your humor carries the day. So glad you had the support and love to get through this. Best wishes, Michelle.

  15. Content que tu ailles bien. All the best.

  16. namitasunder says:

    it is good to know that the operation went well. I understand that post operation time and coping up with the changes takes a lot of courage but I know you will be able to do that. loads of good wishes to you and your family.

  17. List of X says:

    I’m sorry to hear some of your organs had to leave, but they really didn’t keep the best company, apparently, so it’s better that way. Hopefully, this is the last time you have to hear the word “cancer”, or whatever was that new brand name that it tried to establish that totally didn’t catch on.

  18. Dannayub says:

    Glad your doing well and keeping us updated.
    Quick recovery is your portion.

  19. Dana says:

    Had RALP done 10/10, going back to work today. Still wearing maxi-pads, oops, we manly men cal them guards’ 😉

    Not much fun, but I do enjoy the ‘cachet’ of being a two-time cancer survivor. Not so keen on the ED thing…

    Anyway, we’re still here and grumbling, that counts for something, right?

    Hang in there, Bro’.

  20. Ned's Blog says:

    I looked and looked for a Hallmark card that would be appropriate but, apparently, no one could think of a word that rhymes with prostate. That being said, be well, my friend, and know that there are a lot of folks near and abroad (perhaps even a broad) who have you in their thoughts. Meanwhile, I’m going to contemplate a rhyme for prostate… hey, wait…

  21. Lindsey D says:

    Sometimes the hesitation in wanting to share a story is proof enough that the story needs to be shared. So glad to hear that everything went smoothly and that you had such an awesome and foul mouthed support system!

  22. beth says:

    so glad to see you in writing, even if you are a bit lighter than before. good to get rid of that unwanted baggage and leave it behind. each day will get a bit better. it’s like when you have that old ford pinto wagon and you come to a. point that the faux wood on the side isn’t really needed, and just take the whole thing off, a bit lighter, but less to attend to and worry about. i’m guessing your prostate was even better looking than a fake pinto wagon ‘wood-ish’. panel, so that’s a compliment. damn bodies! glad you’re okay and hope you feel better soon.

Homemade Bread

Baking my first batch of bread (2)
When I was growing up, one of the perks of being a preacher’s kid was that people in the church often gave us things. This helped to supplement what little income my father received. One of my fondest memories was getting a big loaf of homemade bread on a Sunday morning. Bertha McCann and Katy Townsend were two women who made the best bread I ever tasted. One day, when I was ten, I was raving about Katy’s bread. I expressed interest in learning to bake bread like that. She said when I was twelve, she would teach me. I remembered her promise, and when I was twelve, she helped me bake a batch of bread. My bread never quite matched hers, but I was very proud of my accomplishment!

  1. In the 1980s, when the Guyana government banned the importation of wheat flour in order to reduce our country’s foreign debt, I learned to make bread using contraband flour sourced from neighboring Suriname. (Those caught with the flour were fined and imprisoned.) At the time, the local rice flour only worked for making pancakes.

  2. What a great story, it brought back memories. When I was a kid we had a boarder, an elderly lady named Edna who made bread. All I remember is her bread was wonderful and she used potato water in it. Wish I had a loaf now -Bob

Hat From the Past

Royal Hatsto this day in 1973, 46 years ago, and an Imperial visit to Australia that saw the then Crown Princess Michiko in a halo hat with graphic pattern on the brim.

14 thoughts on “Hat From the Past

  1. MrFitzroy went on a mission to find an image of the hat featured in the post in a color photo, without luck.
    What did turn up, was this amazing image of Michiko in what can only be called the antitheses of the tiny saucer hats which became so associated with her in recent years. What a complex piece of gravity defying millinery!

    (scroll down)

    • Gravity-defying, indeed — at the back of her head instead of the front. It looks rather bridal. Love the classic sheath and gloves. Thanks for sharing, Mr. F.

    • mrfitzroyobe, what a treasure that website is! Colour pics of Michiko are so hard to find…. I clicked on the forward and back arrows on the linked page and found more colour photos of Michiko on other pages, in ever more fabulous and beautiful ‘sixties hats — such as these:
      It’s so apparent in photos from that era that Michiko started early with her love for the “Modern Classic” version of current trends, (i.e. the toned-down conservative version of the trend) which is why her ensembles still convey style and elegance today. What I also find fascinating is that a colour palette of soft muted light pastels, which is so much a part of her image today, seems already a clear preference.

  2. This is fantastic! MrFitzroy isn’t that familiar with the Japanese royals during the seventies….but knowing how, shall we say ‘staid’, the imperial family is with wardrobes in recent years…..and while the Empress Emeritus developed her own classic and instantly recognizable style over time…..it is amazing to see her in what would have then been a highly trendy and very fashionable seventies ensemble.

    Empress Masako has her own very distinctive style and is always impeccable, but I don’t think anyone would call her fashionable and trendy — even in her much younger years.

  3. Oh I love this! I really think she was one of the best dressed Royals of the 1960s and 1970s in the world. Always stylish, chic, beautifully put together but never matronly or fussy like a lot of Royals looked during this period. I still think she is among the best dressed Royals even now in her 80s.

  4. I had the same reaction as everyone else: oh, the ‘70s! Still, she wore the shape beautifully. But it’s her attentive, engaged manner that really comes through in these photos.

  5. This is not the only halo brim/Breton hat the Empress Emerita has rocked, and she definitely wore this style well IMO. I’m just not certain this pattern on the underbrim is the most flattering (perhaps it’s better in color?). They are definitely a handsome couple!

  6. What a fabulous hat! I’ve seen pictures of Michiko when she was younger, and it always astounds me how utterly glamorous and chic she was. Such a handsome couple. They remind me so much of the Duke and Duchess of Kent (Prince George and Princess Marina) – the trendy couple of their generation.

  7. I think she looked fantastic! Totally seventies but totally smart!

    Hat Queen, thank you for all the interesting posts, specially the ones about the Japanese Imperial family. Haven’t had time to comment, but found them most educating.

  8. Very 1970’s! Look at those lapels! Michiko looked lovely in this large halo brim. I wonder what colours it was?

      • SoCal Gal, like MrFitzroy, I tried but in vain to locate a color photo. I’m sorry to let you down. I did, however, find the answer to your question earlier this past week about Max’s earrings- did you see it? Happy weekend, everyone!

        • You are too funny Jimbo! I love the reply and I’m sure others got a chuckle out of it as I did. No worries about the color photos and thanks for trying. You have a nice Mother’s Day weekend, too.

Caution!!! We have the power to invoke them….

I get a call from my mother & Father on the same day I see a new therapist, I am thinking that all the talking and energy  towards them and about them made them come out of the wood work, my mother called to say she had found a box of mine with papers from the 90’s asking me what I wanted her to do with them, very random.

I knew I had invoked them by telling my new therapist about some of my past. About the experiences that marked me for life, after them I would never be who I was intended to be. They crushed my spirit, broke my heart, devastated my mind and crippled my soul, I am still working on putting the pieces were they were meant to be, they are chipped, shattered pieces that I am working on gluing together with hope, faith, therapy, patience, all while learning to show myself kindness which I didn’t receive, and knowing that no matter how much I work on me, and healing you can never be as you were meant to be, you can put the pieces together however you can, but they are still pieces and fragments.

Here they were calling me, with no knowledge of the day I had had, which I was not about to share it with them,  I refrain now from being vulnerable to them and  almost anyone else, this is one form of price I am paying.

♓Thankful, Grateful & Blessed!

Political vice tightens

The trial of those accused of murdering investigative reporter Ján Kuciak and his fiancée in 2018 began in January 2020 and two of the defendants, Miroslav Marček and Zoltán Andruskó, have already been found guilty. The investigation revealed a close link between Marian Kočner, the controversial businessman accused of masterminding Kuciak’s murder, and key political and judicial figures, including judges and the former prosecutor-general. Kočner also had around three dozen journalists placed under surveillance, using personal data from police databases.

Former Prime Minister Robert Fico, along with Luboš Blaha, who is one of his colleagues in the Smer-SD (now the second largest parliamentary party), and a number of other politicians often attack journalists verbally, using an anti-media rhetoric that is reproduced in certain media and, above all on websites specializing in disinformation. Slovak media that were previously owned by leading international media companies have been acquired by local oligarchs. In 2019, the biggest Slovak TV channel, Markiza, was bought by an investment group controlled by Petr Kellner, one of the wealthiest Czech businessmen. The independence and professionalism of the public radio and TV broadcaster RTVS has been questioned since several dozen of its journalists left in 2018 because the new management was close to the ultranationalist SNS party. They have been replaced by younger, less experienced journalists, some apparently sympathetic to SNS leader Andrej Danko.

RT Pro’s Jerry Boling Scores Top Five in GNCC Opener Wild Boar GNCC Round 1 Report

Jerry Boling used RT Pro components to propel his Polaris into a fifth-place finish during the Wild Boar GNCC UTV XC1 Pro race. The privateer racer made his GNCC debut during the season opener.

Boling said his RT Pro components made the difference on the difficult course. With 87 entries on the rough and gnarly course, Boling needed every advantage he could get.

“The RT Pro high clearance A-arms and all of the chassis components made it possible to compete on this rough course,” said Boling. “To run with these factory guys doing it as an independent is very humbling. I’d like to say thank you to my wife. We’ve had a difficult week; we lost two family members this week. She wanted me to run here.”

John Yokley switched to a Can-Am this year with the Jack’s Racing Team and was running in the lead when a mechanical issue stopped his charge within a mile of the finish.

“The RT Pro suspension components worked awesome out there,” said Yokley. “I took a couple laps to get in the flow of the track. The track was rough; there were a lot of whooped out sections and palmetto roots. We took the lead, but had a mechanical issue, but that won’t happen again. We’ll be back strong at South Carolina.”

Joe Kreclich finished second in the UTV XC2 Class race. “The Can-Am and RT Pro stuff was flawless today,” said Krechlich. “I was nervous as I could be about the course. If it wasn’t for the RT Pro A-Arms, we would have ripped the suspension off of this thing. I wish I had won, but I’ll take a second any day on a day like today. It was brutal out there. I just didn’t want a DNF here, so to get a podium is great. We’ll take this on to the next race at Big Buck.”

Coastal Racing / RT Pro’s John Henry drove a conservative race in XC2 and finished fourth. “We survived…It was really a game of survival,” said Henry. “The track was brutal. We saw a lot of carnage, backed off and tried to make it to the finish. If it wasn’t for the RT Pro equipment, it probably wouldn’t have made it. I’m just happy to finish that race.”

Sam Yokley and Jesi Stracham drove their RT Pro equipped Polaris Aces to a fourth and fifth-place finish, respectively, in the single seat race.

RT Pro UTV Racers will be back in the hunt at the Big Buck GNCC in South Carolina on April 16-17th.

Hey there,

I'm just wondering, fingers crossed if there are any cats out there that know any dead tabs for bass...

I'm trying to work out shakedown street, touch of grey, and a few other jams and would love if any friendly stranger could help me out.

not many bass tabs surprisingly for such a fan favourite band.. but here's hoping!! BassMasta isn't so great... and that seems to be the best and even more surprising is no books either. Phil is sick and it'd be incredible to learn more lines and well my novice ear is trying but help would sure be great!

thanks and happy jams to all :)

I don't really do tabs. I don't like reading them and I don't find them very musical... but I'll be more than happy to help you learn. Shakedown is easy. The chord changes are posted here. If you don't know how to translate them onto a bass, now's a great time to learn! If you already know, sorry for my assumption... your question is a little vague so I'm sorry if I give you info that you already know.

The main reason there are so few tabs for Phil is that he does something different every time he plays a song. Tabbing just one version is too limited - you have to learn to think like him or at least have a good handle on chords and scales and how to use them. Shakedown is one exception, where he generally sticks with one version of how to play it. Here's my interpretation of it. This is meant as a sort of companion to the chord chart that's posted here: http://www.rukind.com/gdpedia/titles/show/380

The song starts out with a big, fat sustained D note. Use the biggest and fattest one you have. This hits twice. Then when the groove comes in, play D... A C A C D like this:

I'll call that: "The lick"

Then comes the chorus:

G C/G F C9
You tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Dm (play the lick one time)
Well, well, well, you can never tell.
G C/G F C9
The sunny side of the street is dark.
Dm (play the lick one time)
Well, well, well, you can never tell.

Fmaj7 - here you're going to want to get floaty in FMaj7, up the neck starting with the F on the 8th fret of the A string. Play around with this scale.

Maybe that's cause it's midnight,

Here you'll play around with this scale, or the good old Em Pentatonic - also in the same range. (Phil does not often go below the low A compared to other bassists)

And the dark of the moon besides.
Maybe the dark is from your eyes

(maybe the dark is from your eyes).
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
Ebm7 Dm7
(maybe the dark is from your ey es).
Maybe the dark is from your eyes

(maybe the dark is from your eyes).
You know you got such dark eyes.

Now for the chorus, you play the same lick as above, but down two frets in C. Make it a little louder and groovier if you can, to give the song some shape.

Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street;
used to be the heart of town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
You just gotta poke around.

That's about all you need to know! There's a guitar solo over the verse, and a jam out on the C lick... you can play around with it during the jam, or you can just keep it steady and let your bandmates play off of it.

Here's one version by my band: http://www.archive.org/download/Fennari ... St_vbr.mp3 taken from this show: http://www.archive.org/details/Fennario ... embroke.MA to give you some ideas.

scoob, I am not a bass player( well actually just bought one-more fun then I even imagined), but isn't that riff really a quick jump from G to A and than C, and does that a whole step down at the end of the verse.

30 Healthy Ways To Distract Yourself During Your Taper

Here’s how to keep your mind off running in the lead up to the big event.

No comments

As I stated before, the taper period before a big race can be a difficult time period. Not only are you feeling antsy about running the distance ahead of you, but now you have all of this newfound extra time to think about it (and obviously overthink and overanalyze your training plan and everything you’ve done over the past couple of months).

To help you survive your final weeks before the New York City Marathon, here are a few healthy ways to distract yourself during your taper.

  1. Find a new book to read. I’m way behind and reading Big Little Lies now, but I’ve heard The Handmaid’s Tale is worth reading.
  2. Find a new Netflix/Hulu/whatever series to dive into.
  3. Try a new (healthy) recipe. Of course, don’t pick anything too exotic or out-of-the-ordinary for your taste buds. But something like zucchini noodles with a spiralizer could be delicious!
  4. Clean out your closet — pick out what you don’t wear anymore and find out where to donate your clothes. This is also a great opportunity to find your throwaway layers!
  5. Match all of your tupperware, and get rid of excess lids/bottoms. You know you have some lids with nothing to cover…
  6. Treat yourself to a new pair of running shoes — that you can look forward to wearing AFTER the marathon, of course.
  7. Switch out your summer wardrobe for your fall/winter wardrobe.
  8. Call your mom (and your grandparents, your friend from college you haven’t spoken to in months, etc). Find out what they’ve been up to while you’ve been super distracted all summer marathon training.
  9. Get a pedicure. Not only is it a good idea to trim your toenails before a race, but your feet have been through a lot over the past couple of months. Show them some love!
  10. Watch a movie. And not just any movie — that movie all of your friends can’t believe you haven’t seen, even though it came out 9 years ago and you hear it quoted at least 1x a week.
  11. Go TO the movies. And not just any movie theater. Go to one that has the recliner chairs and put your feet up.
  12. Go to a comedy club or Improv show for #allofthelaughs without expending any energy (just not any of the ones with a two-drink minimum).
  13. Clean and organize your computer desktop.
  14. Book a massage (this is also a great idea for several days post-marathon).
  15. Re-watch your favorite teenage drama (The OC or One Tree Hill, anyone?).
  16. Read race recaps from your favorite bloggers to get #inspired.
  17. Watch something inspirational — like The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young or Tracktown. Here are some more inspirational movies to watch during your taper.
  18. Go to yoga. Stretching is your friend!
  19. Take an art class (one where you’ll be sitting down).
  20. Meditate.
  21. Listen to a new podcast. I recommend Dirty John.
  22. Do something fun (and low-key) with friends. Organize a movie night, a clothing swap, a taco night, or something of the like. Maybe you even want to organize a self-care night featuring face sheet masks, home pedicures, and manicures. Leave the ‘partying’ for after the race.
  23. Make a list of all the things you’ve missed during marathon training so you know what you have to look forward to post-race.
  24. Sleep in (but not too much!).
  25. Do a social media cleanse. However, be sure to keep all of your fake friends who you want to boast about your race to!
  26. Take a walk outside — but don’t forget to wear a jacket.
  27. Listen to this motivational speech from Miracle. Substitute “game” for “race” and “run” for “skate” and pretend you’re SHUTTING DOWN YOUR MENTAL ANXIETIES rather than the other team. “YOU WERE BORN TO BE RUNNERS, EVERY ONE OF YOU.”
  28. Create your marathon playlist (though I do recommend only keeping ONE earbud in during the race so you can also experience the crowds).
  29. Do laundry. It will be a lifesaver to have clean clothes the week after your race.
  30. Clean out your email inbox.

What other ways do you distract yourself before a big race?

Bye, Bye Western Civilization. Sorry It Had to End This Way: A COVID-19 Sign-Off From Moscow

So this is how it ends — with a whimper

“Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little safety, deserve neither and will lose both” — Ben Franklin

MOSCOW – Despite the stubborn March cold, heroic young ladies in the Russian capital have already shortened (one might say improved) their skirts by at least 15 centimeters. Surely this should give us all confidence to carry on, even as the pillars of western civilization melt away like the last winter frost. What on earth happened, anyway?

German state media reports that benevolent lockdowns have been imposed across the country, even while conceding that Germans have been extremely well-behaved – the alleged precondition for avoiding the indefinite suspension of basic privileges enjoyed even by their feudal ancestors. Of course, there were still a handful of outrageous acts of insubordination. Bavarian police dutifully sniffed out “isolated incidents of violations” such as “five youths celebrating a birthday party at a construction site”, and – prepare yourself – “a group of three people drinking around a bonfire.” These existential dangers to the German Volk were given “warnings” – for now.

In France you need to print out a certificate from a government website to even show your face in public. Failure to produce the necessary documents permitting you to go outside results in a hefty fine. For now. Being homeless won’t exempt you from this decree, either. Because why should it?

Testimonials from family and friends in the United States – many of them healthy young people terrified of imminent death – have convinced us that it would be unsportsmanlike to finish this sentence candidly.

Fear and mindless acquiescence has gripped the western world, and there’s simply no going back. Cultural, political, spiritual and economic suicide are all around the corner. Maybe even a fun little war.

(The Netherlands might be a notable exception in all this, but would you rather live in Mad Max Massachusetts or Holland? That’s a coin flip.)

We will not bore you with the well-established realities of the COVID-19 “pandemic”: That according to the best available evidence, 99% of cases are minor and require no serious medical treatment of any kind. Or the criminally under-reported fact that an overwhelming percentage of coronavirus-attributed deaths occur in elderly people who were already suffering from non-trivial health issues, or that many of these reported deaths are likely not even due to the virus. Even the BBC had to quietly admit that many coronavirus victims – infirm old people – would have probably died anyway. That’s what infirm old people do best, after all.

Similarly, we can hardly be bothered to relay the huge number of fatalities, from an impressive range of seemingly benign ailments, which occur each and every year like clockwork. Did you know that 1.2 million children die annually from diarrhea? They’re brown or black and definitely poor, of course.

There is simply no need for rational, data-driven analysis at this point. That ship has already sailed. Bon voyage, any semblance of reason. Just make sure you have your documents ready, in case you get boarded by the French coast guard.

Myopic observers might conclude that western civilization was brought to its knees because in our current age of unapologetic self-pity and collective victimhood, it suddenly became really hip to identify as an Italian octogenarian, or a bloated American diabetic. This take is far too sympathetic, even if probably true.

The regrettable truth is that western civilization – please understand we’re using this term in the most general and generous way possible – was dead-on-arrival when COVID-19 came knocking. Europeans and their hapless American offspring are bored, entirely without hope and completely exhausted. You could squeeze all 320 million Americans like lemons and you’d be lucky to find yourself with a shot glass-worth of confidence or vitality. Centuries of artistic and scientific triumphs have been almost entirely erased by modern Europe’s bureaucrat-driven stagnation and apathy – no small accomplishment, all sarcasm aside.

There is bankruptcy at every level. Nothing solid is left to fall back on. Apparently some of you are not even entirely sure if you are male or female. This is not exactly a recipe for longevity, we’re very sorry to say.

Predicting what comes next is easy – just try to imagine the worst possible scenario. Now multiple that by a factor of ten. Your outlook is still too rosy, but optimism is only human.

We understand that some might be in partial agreement with us but still might find this internet article to be an irresponsible over-exaggeration. Allow us a closing thought.

In his timeless television series ‘Civilisation’, the badly-missed Sir Kenneth Clark meditated on how seemingly indestructible societies fall into ruin and vanish from the earth:

However complex and solid it seems, civilization is actually quite fragile. It can be destroyed. What are its enemies? First of all, fear. Fear of war, fear of invasion, fear of plague. And fear of the supernatural, which means that you don’t question anything or change anything. The late antique world was full of meaningless rituals, mystery religions that destroyed self-confidence. And then, boredom. The feeling of hopelessness, which can overtake people with a high degree of material prosperity.

Clark summed up: “It’s lack of confidence, more than anything else, which destroys a civilization.”

See you on the other side.

Why do i need a water treatment system!

Water is the most essential element of life. It is the most common mineral on the earth's surface and the major component of all living matter. In its pure state, it is a colourless, odourless and tasteless liquid. Being a good solvent, it dissolves many substances to varying degrees. For this reason, several impurities are found in the natural sources of water. Water as naturally available must be treated for general consumption or for specific industrial uses.

Wednesday’s tremor was a ‘small earthquake’ – Geological Survey Authority

What was believed to be an earth tremor on Wednesday evening was actually an earthquake, according to Ghana Geological Survey Authority.

Nicholas Opoku, a senior Seismologist at the Authority, said the earthquake had a magnitude of 4.2 on the Richter scale and described it as a mild earthquake.

“This is a small earthquake. If you are moving from 4.5 to 6.0 [on the Richter scale], you are moving into a moderate earthquake. Then from 6.0 going, you are moving into a bigger one,” Mr. Opoku explained on the Citi Breakfast Show.

He noted that the epicentre of the earthquake, which was felt outside the Greater Accra Region, was “between Dansoman towards Bortianor.”

The foreshock of the earthquake was measured at 3.7 on the Richter Scale, the mainshock registered at 4.2 on the scale and the aftershock was the weakest measured at about 3.5 on the scale.

In the past few years, environs of Accra have been hit by a series of earth tremors of magnitudes ranging between 2.6 and 3.9.

The most recent was in March 2019 which had a magnitude of 3.9.

Some of the areas that experienced the tremors at the time included Gbawe, Sowutuom, Old Kasoa Barrier, New Bortianor, Awoshie, Abelemkpe, Tabora, Achimota, Ablekuma, Kissiman, Westland, Laterbiokorshie, Legon and McCarthy Hill.

Mr. Opoku, at the time, predicted that these seismic incidents would get worse.

After the March 2019 tremor, the Ministry of Interior inaugurated a 10-member committee to develop a comprehensive programme for national earthquake preparedness and response.

The committee, chaired by an engineer, Carlien Bou-Chedid, was expected to finish work by April 15, 2019.

In November 2019, earthquake guard equipment was installed at the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly.

Ghana’s history with earthquakes
Records indicate that the earliest earthquake in Ghana occurred in 1615 with magnitude greater than 6.0 on the Richter Scale.

There are records noting that an earthquake in 1636 caused havoc in several parts of Axim in the Western Region.

The last three major earthquakes occurred in Ghana in 1862, 1906 and 1939.

The 1862 Accra earthquake had a magnitude of 6.5 on the Richter Scale and caused three fatalities in addition to the damage to property.

Magnitude 4.6 and 4.9 seismic events also occurred in Accra in 1871 and 1872.

The epicentre of the 1906 earthquake was near Ho collapsing buildings and causing severe damage.

The June 1939 magnitude 6.5 earthquake, which was centred around James Town, was the most destructive in Ghana’s history, causing an estimated $67.3 million damage at the time.

This seismic event lasted about thirty seconds and killed 17 people and injured about 140 persons.

It always really annoys me when e.g. the leading dot or leading slash in pathnames or filenames gets ignored for the purposes of sorting. I may refine this later on but it seems like a good start for an approach.

Yesterday, out running errands, I totally gave into the call of Linens N Things. I couldn’t help myself.

There’ s something about that place. Especially this time of year, when it’s stock full of stuff for dorms and apartments: storage containers, cheap yet somewhat funky lamps, rugs shaped like flowers, comforters and duvets on sale for low, low prices. Now, I don’t need ANY of this stuff, of course. But it didn’t stop me from walking around, touching everything, and considering buying them anyway. The truth is, there was a time when I really did need that sort of stuff, when I moved into my first apartment (nostalgia!). I remember my grandmother sent me fifty dollars to buy a new set of dishes, and I went out and got this Corelle stuff which, while somewhat boring (white with blue trim) has proved to be completely indestructable. I still use the bowls, over ten years later. (Wait: has it been TEN years since I moved into my first place? It can’t be. No…it’s been fifteen. Oh, my God.)

Anyway, even though I now have rugs and glasses and enough platters to serve everyone I know twice (wedding haul, what can I say) I am always intrigued by the back to school, new start thing that they promote so well at LNT. In fact, I found myself very close to buying some hot pink storage cubes yesterday, until I envisioned the look on my husband’s face when I brought them home, which sort of dissauded me. I think I may be too old for hot pink storage items. Just a hunch. But there is something very sweet about remembering this time of year, everything new and big and looming out in front of you. Fresh notebooks, new dishes, a whole new life, when it seems like you’ve been forever waiting for just that. I think it’s a little harder, now, with a mortgage, so settled, to feel that as strongly, but I still do feel it. You just have to make your own starts, instead of waiting for life to put them in front of you, neatly packed in a (hot pink) storage container. New season. New book, maybe? New semester. New haircut (next week, I cannot WAIT). Life is always offering fresh starts: sometimes, they’re just not on the calendar. Or so I’m learning.

Meanwhile, the students all flood back this weekend. It’s an interesting phenomenon, your town growing by tens of thousands of people in a matter of days. So much for our sleepy summer. But like I said, I’m kind of ready for it. It’s new.

have a good day everyone!
