The Daily News

1  So far I got through the Ides of March.

2  It's the middle of the month and I still have my sanity, and hopefully everything else.

3   Do you ever turn around and suddenly find that you really should start writing dates down?

4   Ah, it's all good. It's sort of like looking at a cluttered closet. It seems overwhelming, but if you begin with the tennis racket and pull, everything might shift. The load might fall toward, but if you take things a step at a time you can probably make things not only more organized, but you may rock your own world.

6   I love telling people how to live.

7   I tend to fly by the seat of my pants more times than not.

8  It's all good.

10  fdafdfdfdfdfaf.

11  Can anyone tell me when the Ides of June are?

12   I'm glad that tomorrow is March 16. It's the day after the Ides and the day before St. Patrick's Day. When I go to write the dates this week I should get at least the first two correct. 

13   Every now and again I forget what date it is when I put it on the board. I try hard to use some sort of mnemonic device so I don't get corrected.

14   I never could get dates in high school.

17   You may now groan. 


18    No. 

19   Seesly. 

20   I feel I've been traveling a bazillion miles an hour this past few weeks.

21   More things happening than I can channel.

22   Did I say that I have a clandestine punner in my class? Over in the left-hand corner of my white board I saw this written a few weeks ago: What is Queen Elizabeth's favorite tea?
Amid pictures of pastel cartoon faces, flowers and mushrooms was a crown, and right next to the crown was the answer: "Royal tea."

23   Many didn't get it. I did. It was an ode to punning. Ah, there is still hope for the English language, but it is vanishing like the eight buffalo. 

24   First, it is becoming impossible to teach English, but then it always has been.

25   For example,the word alright is now considered correct.

26   Never in Warriner's English Grammar and Comp. Old man Warriner would have run you out of town with a cattle prod. 

27   It's officially okay now. Same with the word disorientated

28   Maybe that one always was, but being the effete snob I am, I always used disoriented. Still do. Disorientated is considered correct.

31  My font just shrank.

32  No but it is true. Here is Merriam:

Dictionary

disorientate

Definition of DISORIENTATE

transitive verb

dis·ori·en·ta·tion




33  Notice the popularity rating. Nobody cares. 

34  I should march myself right down to Home Depot, buy one of those huge black-and-orange leaf brooms, drive to the ocean and try to rid the shores of sand. 

35   

36   Anybody lookin'?

37

38   I gotta get another job. 

39   

40   Moving On, Part One: LMFAO.

41   Facebookisms. 

42   I can tolerate most. The only one I that gives me the cringe is when people who hear good news say, "woot!" or "woot woot!"

43   I could never wrap my head around that.

44   Every now and again I get the cringies reading that stuff. 

45   

46   'Murica.

47   We are funky. 

48   

49    Do Mondays scream at us at light speed? Every Sunday night I get into this colorful vortex that drops me off on Monday's doormat. I awaken feeling like something the cat drug in.

51   

52   Welp, that's about all the whoopin' I'm gonna dish out this fine day.

53   It's Monday, and a grand one indeed. 

54   Make yourself useful. Do something like this for kicks:

60   That guy never lets me down. Never. 

61   Have a GREAT Monday. Fly low.

62   See you again.

63   Peace.
