Kill Your TV

* * * * *

So many people say that once they "quit" and "broke up"
with their TV, they're sorry they didn't do it sooner...

And a few comments on facebook
started my re-visiting the idea


But if I didn't have Glenn Beck to be mad at
how would I get thru the days?

This needs more deliberation.

too dam busy to have it all be perfect

Feeling a little Vintage Myself!

* * * * *

I think once we get through the HUGE influx of orders,
and we can just MELD that business into our everyday
schedule, things will process much more smoothly.

Then I can get this bear out of my bed
and get some real sleep.

Dear Keyboard ~

We've missed you.

It's been MORE than 48 hours.

We were starting to get finger atrophy.

Thank goodness that

you're still alive and well!!!
Until computers can digitally convert the English language
you need us...and we need you.

Now let's boogie!

We honour her in our thoughts
If she's still living, we show her our respect
and we remind ourselves

Fill in the Blank...

It's like a movie or a book and
you're not quite sure about the ending.

Guess What?
I dunno; what?

Are you paying attention?
There is NOTHING to this post today.
Hang up.

May 5th....Cinco de Mayo

* * * * *

Cinco de Mayo celebrates the legendary Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, in which a Mexican force of 4,500 men faced 6,000 well-trained French soldiers. The battle lasted four hours and ended in a victory for the Mexican army under Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza. Along with Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16, Cinco de Mayo has become a time to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture.

There: you've had your history lesson for today
so you can go out and play until dinner.

Pennsylvania

* * * * *
I love Pennsylvania...
I was born there, although not when it was a Province
and not when it was spelled Pensilvania!

I remember alot since I spent all of the summers of my youth
at my Grandparents in southwestern PA.
Pop
Youns
Gumbands
Poke

...and my first beer.

I have no idea why I'm posting this, other than:
1.) I reconnected today with a friend I hadn't seen in...well..
too long
and
2.) when I saw this beer, it made me think of
summer picnics in Pennsylvania...

The Best Picnics, by far!
