Not sure I ever blogged about the "event" that occurs this year on Tuesday. I looked back over the last three years of my posts and nothing (I'll have to ask our "Webmaster" aka Saturday's blogger, if any easier way to review exists.). But the euphoria following the Halloween bash held by by Knights of Pythias lodge leads to today's post. It was a great party.
Last Wednesday, a bug came to play,
Brought the flu, much to my dismay.
I laid in bed, a shivering heap,
Dreaming of wellness, instead of sleep.
I coughed and slept, a pitiful sight,
Wrapped in blankets, through day and night.
Ben's soup was my ally, tissues my friends,
Together we fought, to make amends.
But laughter came, amidst the gloom,
As I imagined dancing around the room.
For even sick, I found a spark,
Of humor amidst these past three days so dark.
Last week's "10/10 Egg Cream Club" blog was about (U-Bet) chocolate egg creams which I love. Thus, I was very surprised by the number of comments favoring vanilla egg creams.
The other day I received a FaceTime call from my two-and-a-half year old granddaughter (with the help of her mother, my daughter).I was in my office and offered to show her around the office.My daughter loved the nostalgic mementos on the shelves and walls.
On my work from home days, I try very hard to tell myself to stand up, take a walk, get outside – even for just a few minutes.
Yet these days, I am failing. Just too busy, which is not a complaint but sometimes an interference.
Supermarkets are often hurried places with the routine of shoppers, carts moving, and register lines that seem to never move quickly enough. It is usually a place where people come to quickly purchase their essentials and leave. But sometimes, in the most unexpected places, we stumble upon moments of pure joy.
Generally, we take in a Broadway musical in October. Yesterday we ventured in the afternoon to the Neil Simon Theatre to take in MJ. This Michael Jackson musical focused on the music and how Michael evolved and grew as an artist. It took up some issue and alluded to others. I found the music and choreography superb. It covered much of the Jackson 5, The Jacksons and Michael Jackson song catalogues. Early in the show you learn of the influence on Michael of the Jackie Wilson, James Brown and the Isley Brothers.
