2 I LOVE Thursdays!
3 You may have noticed that my Wednesday posts tend to drift negative.
4 Wednesdays are meeting days.
5 You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know what THAT means.
6 That's one reason I rally every now and again about the elimination of Tuesday as a day of the week.
7 It fills the room with controversy. This I know.
8 But if Tuesday disappears, Wednesday becomes Thursday, only with the horrid meetings.
9 I should run for King.
10 I'd make a great King.
11 My first move would be to banish all meetings.
12 My second move would be to banish Tuesdays.
13 My third move would be free pizza for everybody.
14 Anybody lookin'?
15 These are seeeeeee-is issues.
16 I find myself awakened in the middle of the night worrying about them.
17 Ah, I worry about everything.
18 You hit a certain age and worrying becomes you.
19 Miserable old wretches.
20 When I was a kid I SAW miserable old wretches everywhere I turned.
21 Never bothered me.
22 To me they were just part of the scenery, like lawns and parks.
23 Maybe Paul Simon inspired me.
24 Remember that line from Bookends, "Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly? How terribly strange to be seventy..."
25 Isn't he about ninety-four now?
26
27 Sorry.
28 Five old wretches re-loaded back to Facebook to get some REAL entertainment.
29 Can't blame you.
30 There's something enchanting about watching some fool on Bart going crazy.
31 I get it.
32 Tough market to fight, that FB.
33 SMH.
34 Lol. Lmfao.
35 Facebook.
36 Yeesh.
37 When did we become all this?
38 Moving On, Part One: Last night, no baseball. I found myself in the cups wondering what to do.
39 No brainer.
40 Stay in the cups and grade papers. I'm much braver with my comments. Instead of "Please label your paper" I write in all caps, "NAME!!!!!------------>!!!"
41 Or this: "CAN'T READ!!!"
42 Anybody lookin'?
43 No. We've already established that anyone who was has fled to the comforting arms of Facebook.
44 Oh, bother.
45 For the record, I wasn't in the cups last night. That was to get a laugh out of people who were.
46 I popped on TCM last night.
47 The 1951 version of Angels in the Outfield was on, the one with Paul Douglas and Janet Leigh.
48 Uproarious. Great script. Douglas as a professional baseball manager Aloysius X. 'Guffy' McGovern . Can't beat that.
49 It kept me laughing I gotta tellya. My favorite line was when Douglas snapped at inquiring reporter Jennifer Paige (Leigh), "Dogs have fleas. Managers have reporters." I instantly thought of Bochy, and what he says off camera.
50 I breathe easier this morning having watched that on what was supposed to be a baseball-free night.
51 The baseball scenes looked authentic. Forbes Field came alive.
52 And of course McGov's major nemesis for his Pittsburgh Pirates?
53 The Giants.
54 Gottago.
55 See you again. Have a GREAT Thursday. Did I mention I loved Thursdays?
56 Peace.
~H~
