How lame is the excuse of, “I lost your number so I couldn’t get in touch with you” in today’s techno/electro world?
I’ve had the same phone number, that I JUST gave you a few months ago. Look in your chat history.
I’ve had the same e-mail address for at least 20 years. You know it. Look in your old mail.
You’ve followed my tweets, blogs, vlogs, soundtrackings….. so that just doesn’t wash!
Oh well, Whatever.
I wish you well.

Had a delightful dinner with some really good people. And I behaved myself. I had the fruit bowl.

changing the subject
The discussion of legalising marijuana in the Commonwealth of Virginia has or is rearing its head again……
Of course, the nay Sayers use as their “drive the nail home point” that they wouldn’t want buzzed people on the roads. I started to wonder…..
We probably pass (on our respective highways 100s if not 1000s of people, already high on….
. just sayin’
My next topic…..
I have discovered that if I am to avoid hurting the feeling of a few of those closest to me; I’ve discovered that I must cease and desist all authentic communication with them and basically lie to them. Wait a mo..not lie, but interpret the “facts” of a moment based on their world view and then agree with that skewed (notice,I didn’t say warped, fucked up, idiotic, just where the hell do you live) point of view. I’m up for the challenge.
It’s the year of the Dragon….
This is what my “horoscope” says. (I found this on the web somewhere.)
Thank goodness for open spaces, because the Horse needs plenty of room to roam! true
Energetic, good with money and very fond of travel, Horses are the nomads of the Chinese Zodiac, roaming from one place or project to the next. yes, ok, yes
All of this Sign’s incessant activity and searching may be to satisfy a deep-rooted desire to fit in. don’t know about this
Paradoxically, Horses feel a simultaneous yearning for independence and freedom. true
Horses crave love and intimacy, which is a double-edged sword since it often leads them to feel trapped. don’t know about “crave.”
Love connections tend to come easily to Horses, since they exude the kind of raw sex appeal that is a magnet to others. oh really now? REALLY?
This Sign tends to come on very strong in the beginning of the relationship, having an almost innate sense of romance and seduction. Horses are seducers in general; check out any A-list party and you’re bound to find the Horse in attendance. This Sign possesses a sharp wit and a scintillating presence; it really knows how to work a crowd. ok, yeah
Surprisingly, Horses tend to feel a bit inferior to their peers, a misconception that causes them to drift from group to group out of an irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud. inferior re: how to handle social situations where strong emotions are involved, yeah
An impatient streak can lead Horses to be less than sensitive to others’ needs. I am probably the MOST patient man on the planetThese colts would rather take a situation firmly in hand as opposed to waiting for others to weigh in or come to terms with it. OK
The lone wolf inside the Horse can at times push others away, but this also makes this Sign stronger and is a key to its success. most time I manage to push people into the arms of another. A story for another day.
Horses are self-reliant and, though they might lose interest fast in a tedious, nine-to-five day job, are willing to do the work necessary to get ahead. true
Horses tend not to look much at the big picture; instead they just follow their whims, which can result in a trail of prematurely ended relationships, jobs, projects and so on. nyet! I always take the “big picture” into consideration
This Sign really knows how to motivate others, though, and get a lot accomplished.
Once they find some peace within themselves my never ending search, they can curb their wandering tendencies and learn to appreciate what’s in their own backyard.
Ok….really?
Well, I’m outta here like spit through a trumpet!

Ok, today I had the biggest freak out moment. The cause, (see above image). You see, I left the house without it.
Over the holidays, my niece and I often joked about how we had iPhone in our blood. She, her mom and I joked about how we wake in the middle of the night, just to touch it.
fast forward
“I need to phone Donna about…”
“ahhh, the light is striking that trolley….”
“what was the name of that song?”
“I could Google that.”
“I need that app.”
“Crap, did I reply to that e-mail?”
“Send a text message.”
“Check for e-mail”
So, now I’m at my destination. And I have no music to do my laps.
There were 100s of little things that I do using that little hand held device and I do not have it.
And for 30 minutes….I WAS LOST.

Bacon covered meat loaf.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Usually,I am opposed to preheating, but….
what you’ll need
2# natural lean ground beef
1# mild Italian sausage
1 packet onion soup mix
2 eggs already beaten
Bacon (enough to run the length of the loaf)
A pinch of garlic (varies upon taste)
what to do
1. Mix the above (not the bacon, I mean come on) in a large bowl.
2. Shape meat into loaf and put into pan.
3. Cover loaf with strips of bacon
4. Place into oven.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 1.5 hours ( the original recipe said an hour, but I like my meat done) or until meat is done.
6. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes.
The veggie dish. One of those steamable bags a whole green bean and potato mixture in a light cream sauce.
I used this really neat meatloaf pan I saw at Walmart. It really worked!
Well, I’m stuffed…..

logic to emotion instead of bringing emotion to logic?
Ok, one way to make up for lost blogging days….post your “drafts.”
Yeah, I think I’ve posted four or five blogs left on or is it “in” “draft” status. Of course, I believe that most of the were combined in another blog, but as I said in one, “oh well.”
I’m just pleased “TO BE.”.
Now off to read some statistical analyses. Type to you next year. 👽👽👽👽😜

I’ve seen these here and there. This is just a small sampling of what I’ve found online.
“What’s on my mind?” Humm, in no particular order:
A Cuppa (I think pomegranate black)
Bacon (ok, yeah all of the time)
A “perfect” job (there is one out there and I WILL find it!)
The gym- I REALLY need to go back.
Coconut macaroons (see above)
Tervis cups (an early Christmas present and I <3 it!)
Pancakes (only three, any more and blahhh)
Almond milk (yummy yummy in my tummy)
The mating practices of the Norwegian Troll. (I don't know why)
Depending upon where one is in his/her life, a book, read many times, speaks differently each time (did that make sense?)
Standing on this table, and pulling the speaker from its mounting in hopes of silencing the bloody holiday music. Because if I hear another version of Jingle Bells I AM GOING TO SCREAM!
have a great day!

…gripe about something. But now I can’t remember.
…share a thought or two about some things that have been knocking about in my head. But, I’ve realised that those thoughts need a little more knocking before I can share.
…finish a vlog that “needs” to be finished, but I just don’t feel like it.
…move, delete, compress even more files. How in the blue hades does one fill a t.b. so quickly? What’s after a terabyte?
Oh well…a pui tardi!
✌
Greetings, well met, hey how are ya?
It’s been a while since I’ve uttered those words. That was my opening on most of my YouTube vlogs. But, I’ve not been to the tube to vlog for (as the kids say) a minute.
Let’s see, what’s been happening? Still looking for gainful employment, but in the meantime, I’ve placed an advert for my new business venture.
Just placed a new advert. The first, well the services those people wanted were services that I just don’t do, at least not for such inexpensive prices . LOL
Oh, here’s piece I worked on in an afternoon.
I just want to put this one to bed. I’ve been working on it for too long.
a pui tardi.
