Birthdays and Marrying Elton John

-

I screwed up and I might as well admit it right up front. My brother Bob's 60th birthday was on January 5th and like a total schmuck I forgot it. I knew his birthday was in January and I knew he was turning 60, but I missed the big day. I always think his birthday is later on in January, but that was my dad's birthday, not Bob's. Oh well, happy belated birthday, Bob. I think you read my blog. I am disappointed you didn't have a big party like you did on your 50th. That was the most fun I don't remember!

Then again, maybe you did have a party and I'm on your shitlist. You'll have to let me know.

Beth went to New York Mills to spend the day with her mom and to run a few errands that have been on our "roundtoit" list. I am spending the day doing laundry and listening to my favorite oldies station. I am dressed in an Eddie Bauer sweatshirt, Vikings shorts and black socks with red and white stripes. I must say I look especially sexy today. Maybe later I will do that Tom Cruise "Old Time Rock and Roll" dance from Risky Business, videotape myself and post it right here on my blog?

Then again, I think there's a better chance I will become lovers with Elton John and marry him in a private ceremony on the shores of Lago de Cabora Bassa in Mozambique. Seriously.

Okay, I don't know where that came from, but it is rather disturbing.

I think the next load of laundry is almost done so I should keep moving.

Ava is downstairs lost in La-La Land, playing with her bears, yelling something about "Don't worry, I will save you!" Not sure what that's all about, but she's entertaining herself, so I won't complain.

Say, if you washed your clothes in milk, would it be called laundairy?

It's back to work tomorrow.  I am getting the itch to make myself useful again.  I can only be off work for so long and I need to do something.  I could not stay at home all day every day.  It's not for me. So today, since I had the day completely to myself, the task at hand was to do laundry.  And do laundry I did.  As I write this, every article of clothing in the house is clean, folded (mostly) and put away (kind of). My job here is done. While completing the menial task of washing clothes, I had the television on as a distraction.  As usual, since it's not football season, I dialed up Turner Classic Movies. The Singing Nun , starring Debbie Reynolds and Ricardo Montalban, was on, so I casually watched it while waiting for clothes to dry.  Aside from being a nauseating mellow drama, I knew enough about my 1960s music history to know it was based on a true story.  Yes, there really was a singing nun. In fact, we used to have a record of the Singing Nun's bi

Parenting is a tough job.  But I am determined to teach the Tax Deductions good from bad, as evidenced by this video demonstration of the Boy.  He learns quickly.  In fact, he goes so fast, you might have to watch it twice. Still, he's a keeper.

I'm not stupid, but I can be a slow learner some times. Other times, I'm a little intimidated to try something new because I'm afraid I'll screw it up - hey, I've got a history. So after we got our new Mac I was really disappointed that it didn't recognize our digital camera.  In the Microsoft world, much of the technology is "plug and play."  Just plug the USB port into your PC and the new gizmo is up and running.  I have found that isn't necessarily the case with a Mac.  (it could also be very possible I'm doing something wrong - hey, I've got a history). I knew when I purchased a Mac that they weren't compatible with some things - it is Bill Gates' world and we just live in it.  Apple is Microsoft's competitor and Microsoft is the giant of the world.  But the payoff to owning a Mac is that you get a fine-oiled machine that just works .  And that's very much proven true so far. But one rainy evening I decided to ge
