Well, I had something in mind to post about tonight. But just as I was about to settle in and type there was a discrete knock at the door. One of the kids had a bad day and decided (since he saw my light on) that he would stop by and vent to the old man for a few minutes.
An hour later I shooed him out the door, my mind wonderfully blank. Whatever it was I was going to write about vanished into the ether like promises before election day.
Ah, well.
So I'm going to bed instead and I'll try again tomorrow.
Sunday is going to be National Jelly Bean Day, Earth Day and Girl Scout Leader Day.
Go nuts with it.
Garden surprises

I haven't done anything to my garden for over a month except to go out to
see if there are still ripe tomatoes coming on. But there's more going on

For some incomprehensible reason, BBC Radio 4 told us this morning that it was National Jelly Bean Day, and how many jelly beans Americans had consumed over Easter. A slow news day, I thought.
ReplyDeleteI have a name for your kid who stopped by: The Person from Porlock. I'll leave you to find out why.
Hey, you can tell the BBC that I didn't have a single jelly bean, making me a statistical aberration that should probably be considered extremely dangerous ;D
DeleteVincent- Yes, he completely disrupted my contemplation. Now I will never finish my epic poem!
DeleteBryan- You are indeed an aberration, statistical and otherwise. That's why we like you so.
I haven't had a jelly bean in months.
ReplyDeleteDonna- They are scientifically known to prevent warts on your tractor. Let Cliff know!
DeleteNot sure if this counts, but I had jelly for breakfast and beans for dinner last night. See, Rev, flowcharts are vital to the continued understanding of things. Well done.
ReplyDeleteScott- Close, but no cigar there, pal. And thank you. Flow charts do simplify things, don't they?
DeleteI don't eat jelly beans. They are Easter bunny poop.
ReplyDeleteTJ- You aint fooling anybody. You'd probably eat real bunny poop for a laugh. Or at least by accident.
DeleteDude, I love jelly beans. I'm a total kid when it comes to candy. I guess it's why I'm fat.
ReplyDeleteSgt Drew- You aint fat. You're pleasingly plump. And you have a nice personality! (grin)
