The DN

1   The neighbors haven't put their garbage out yet, but I know it is Garbage Night.

2   I have measured out my life with garbage bags.

3   Those and laundry loads.

4   With all apologies to the great T.S. Eliot, who I'm sure had his fill of garbage and laundry. 

5   Coffee spoons rocks it better. 

6   Iono.

7   Remember "Iono"?

8   Way back, and I'm talking WAY back in 2003 or four or whatevs "Iono" <I dunno> was trend.

9   When a guy my age gets nostalgic about things like that, the end is near.

10   Or not.

11   That was an allusion to the Mad Magazine stereotype of 
guys who used to walk the streets with signs that read, "The End is Near."

12   I Googled something like "The End is Near Mad Magazine" last night and couldn't locate the pic I had in mind.

13   Serendipity. My own ADD led me to a different pic. 

14    Ready?

15   Here go:

17    Okay. No more bufferin'. Here go. Here's what popped up:

17   

17   Elegant. 

18   I had to allow space to allow your hot oatmeal to go through your nose.

19   And eyes.

20   

21   Sorry.

22   No REAL sports last night.

23   Next best thing?

24   Messin'.

25   C'mon.

26   That messin' became you.

27   

28   I loves me some mischief.

29   Keeps me young.

30   Here are some samples of me mischief this year:















31  Makes me a believer, in my own frabjous mind.

32  Sets the table for tonight's game.

33  We NEEDS to rally.

34   Let's GO GIANTS!!!!

35   The other night disappeared. 

36   Put the garbage out. 

37   M'bad <hashtag#Withallduerespecttoroyals'fans.>

38   May the best win. 

39   Truly.

40   On Garbage Night I pondered this in my chamber.

41   Teach baseball.

42    I'll be at Dad's this weekend. 

43    Communication online probably will be abysmal. 

44    Fear not.

45    Giants in six. I'm still there. 

46    <huge breath>

47    Let's Go the Distance.

48    <hashtag#Putsclothespinsonalltwelve toes> I used to do that watching Giants/Dodgers games. I swear to you. I was but a young lad. 

49    But Go the Distance. Giants in six.

50    See you Monday.

51   Peace.
