Well, it was less about D (which is, I'll have you know, half of a smiley face), and more about the semi-great purge of last spring. I was grateful for it, since it disappeared a few unfortunate posts I made that narrowed it to less than 3-degrees of separation.
I'm — honestly, truly, for sure this time — working on a project rife with live&death coin flips (it's a comedy). You know, there's a subplot with a tribute to a Kingston Trio song. And now we have "I don't think God is a softie" going in there, for sure. And maybe a little Huxley... he's the father on that old Cosby TV show, right?

Then let me run interference for you.
Today my bride & I celebrate our 47th, and I am feeling expansive and fearless. So for fun search on you tube for Liz Kauai 2009 and look for the haole in the Hawaiian shirt. The percussion was cribbed from LesPaul & Friends version of Sam Cooke/Clapton rendition of Troublin' Mind, and of course the lyrics are from sky fairy land, but the rest is all mine.
I'd link you to album version of the little song, but after a dozen years on you tube, it has only five views and zero likes. Seems only my mom could love such a thing.
No more cracks about my Hawaiian shirt now - deal?

I just googled for all the telltale breadcrumbs you've left here. Ha! One or two more posts, and I'll know where you buried your gold! But, about your shirts... nah, too easy.

Sometimes the glitter is enough. Look really, really close, and my old car glitters, all by itself.

About six months after my dad passed, I dreamed I met him on an infinitely long beach. I asked how he was doing and he told me, "It doesn't hurt anymore." I was happy to have encountered him there. Do miss him still.

Last week stopped me cold; drained the color from my gut. We knew it wouldn't last, even if it left a scar. Didn't want to post here, didn't want words or pictures at all. "Somebody Ease My Troublin' Mind" pretty much underlies that whole project, and somebody has to do it. Nobody do nothin' for awhile, okay?

Shouldn't have posted in that Digitization thread. Thinking about mortality. Relatives were scattered or already gone, except for my mother and me. When the time came, I was the one who made the decision to "pull the plug" on my father. Watched the big white hospital clock tick.

Oh no! I did it again. Please disregard previous post. No, not the typos, but the reference to a TV personality who is now un-personed (Barr'd?).
It would've been cool. The scene with George Burns as a corporate lawyer, would've been priceless.

You can look at it a couple of ways:
It's A Wonderful World (1939) [imdb.com], James Stewart, Caludette Colbert
It's A Wonderful Life (1946) [imdb.com], James Stewart, Donna Reed
Happy 47th.

Watched Good Girls Go To Paris (1939) [imdb.com] tonight. Throw-away lines are the best:
Customer: "Waitress, what time is it?"
Waitress: "I don't know, this isn't my table."

My go-to for a good chuckle has always been His Girl Friday (1940) [imdb.com].
