Just a little mental calisthenics to get me going. I took a few days off to enjoy the weather by a lake. Good time had by all except for the two fish I caught, bass, with an artificial lure off the dock. I put them back, and they went and told all their fish buddies to stay away from me for the rest of the time I was there.
I’m inclined to give you a blow-by-blow of these days I took off, but it would be duller than watching paint dry. Literally, as we had much of the house painted over the past week. It all went smoothly and that is great, but boring topic for my blog.
Couple of random thoughts as I continue my mental exercises for reentry into the blogging world:
–So, if you are retired, can you go on vacation?
‘Getaway’ might be a better word.
–If stocks are declining, why don’t we say they are ‘inclining’ when they go up?
— So does anybody have a strong visceral perception, like I do, of the Allstate television advertisement in which a man driving a BMW sings a duet with the hood ornament on his car?
I’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks

This ear worm comes courtesy of the Pet Shop Boys, for gosh sakes. It’s called ‘Opportunities.’ And I’m riveted and appalled at the same time, though not sure why.
OK my mental calisthenics are up and I’m going to go back to reclining.
My Countdown to write 678 vinyl record reviews is still on track. I’ve got The Staple Singers and Spooky Tooth coming as I try to get through the ‘S’s in my alphabetical countdown. There are also those pesky straggling ‘R’s. So stick around and, I, hopefully, will do the same.
