Phamily Foto Phriday 1-7-22

It’s been a while, I know, so here is a few random pictures from the last couple of years. Just before Thanksgiving Déla and I traveled to Arizona and they got to dance in the western U.S. regional competition. I mentioned this and posted a different picture a few days ago. Here is a very…

Beatles Week 2021 “Ticket To Ride” (Day 8)

There isn’t much to say about this song, really. From the first couple of opening notes, you know which songs this is. Something about the timing of the drums and tambourine stand out, almost arrhythmic, and it’s only during the bridge when the beat shifts to a standard timing that you understand what is “off”…

Beatles Week 2021 “It’s All Too Much” (Day 7)

Here we are nearly 2 years into a pandemic and the feeling of things being “too much” is ever-present. That overwhelming feeling is the subject of George’s composition that would get used in the Yellow Submarine film and soundtrack (which is half an album, and while that’s the official release, I prefer The Yellow Submarine…

Beatles Week 2021: What Goes On? (Day 3)

“What Goes On?” appeared on 1965’s Rubber Soul, sung by Ringo, but was initially written in 1963 and was going to possibly be recorded and included on the album With The Beatles or as possibly a B-side during that era. Mostly written by Paul, with heavy contributions by John, it also does include a small…

Cat Pee

By |

There is a couch in our basement that is ground zero for a war between our two cats. This turf war is half if not more of the reason for our philosophy on acquiring furniture for the house – we basically try not to pay for any. We used to buy furniture, nice furniture even,…

Shivering, Limping, Twitching

By |

A few months ago at Cub Scout camp I pulled a groin muscle. It isn’t a big deal, just something I deal with especially as it doesn’t affect my general day to day activities, especially now. I do feel it during spin class though, but that’s not the point of this post. This morning was…

Grey Days (Or Is It Gray)

By |

It’s been a pretty decent autumn so far. The amount of rainfall has been measurable, but not outrageous. There have been a number of sunny days as well as warmer temperatures. I am not complaining about this at all. Actually, it’s been great. Most mornings when I go to my spin class it has been…

245

This Monday will be my 246th spin class. I really didn’t expect to last this long. No, really, I didn’t. If you know me, then you know I’m not a fan of exercising. If you actually see me then you can be certain of it. Some people get energized by exercise. Laura certainly does. She…

Vote

By |

Today is, at least in America, election day. Every election that I’ve been able to I have voted. General election, mid-terms, special elections, primary, you name it, I have participated in it. Now, I will say there are a few that I have missed in the last 30-some years, usually primaries, but I can’t think…
