Fur Elise

It's Friday night, folks.

A hot summer eve, so go make something cold to drink. Set it on that table by the love seat.
Um, you DID get a lot of ice, oui?

Now, put this piece of music on your sound system:



Take that loveseat. Relax. Throw your leg over the arm.
Grab that drink.

Let the music wash over you.

You. Beethoven. The loveseat.
Some ice...(Oh! Right there-- yes!!)

Slainte.

13 Things Continued...

Making what is hopefully an Ever-evolving "To Do in Life" ticklist...



Here's some more dots with Cygnus games and mental meanderings:

  • Aerobatics Flight Training. Can't help but make me a better instrument pilot... a better Instructor, perhaps?


  • Run that li'l ol' race they run on the Big Island every October...


  • Write a cool book. Don't ask what yet... or be careful if you do-- you might end up in it!!!
Well, it's Saturn's Day when I'm writing this, and the Sun's Day when you're reading, so...

Three should be enough towards the 13.


Anybody wanna sway me with ideas to fill an empty spot or two?

I dunno-- I might be persuaded. Maybe.

If ya got some Mead...

Slainte, Folks

July 4th, 2009



My son Lance turns 22 today.
This Nation's Declaration of Independence was adopted on this day in 1776.

May they both be around, alive and active for a LONG, LONG time to come yet...

Slainte, Son!

Thirteen Things to Do-- Life Ticklist

Before I'm 125...
[Too much to do to leave before then...]

And not all in one day, either!!

A recent self-examination gently lent to me by a fellow blogger made me take some personal stock. This list will be expanded from my years-ago written original 10 things...
And again, not all in one day... hell, some of them I don't even know yet!
So, maybe today I'll list at least THREE THINGS I'll do before my life is moved to the Beyond...

Ready?

  • Sail a boat to Hawaii. Captain the sail. What-- 18 (if you're smooth and typical?) days on a sloop... some few less on a catamaran..
  • Spend three or four months on Waikiki Beach-- summer months, to advantage the primary storm/ surf direction. Heck-- combine it with the sail-- only I don't want the expense of living at the Hawaii Yacht Club...
  • Multi-day, Multi-pitch climb in Camp 4 in Yosemite. Astroman...
  • Two weeks canoe-camping the Boundary Waters... Heck, give me all four-- I mean, sure, I'll have to duck [Swan! Goose!] over to the neighboring park for a few after my 1st 14 days... probably need some laundry and fishing time by then, anyhow...
  • y'wanna nother one? Hmm... -- Okay-- B.A.S.E. jump. Any suggestions where here in the contiguous...? Legal, and all, of course...
Well, folks... busy Friday... Love the three-day weekends-- sorry, those of you laboring away. Come join me in the garden, or help wash the car... I won't get ya too terribly wet, playing with the hose...

Slainte!

Summer-fried Bird Brains

All morning felt like Monday, and all afternoon Friday. Tomorrow-- Thursday-- IS my Friday, because we're off Friday real...

WHEW!!! I'm confused...

My workweek is 75% done-- that's some math I comprehend.

Where're the fireworks in your town? Anyone leaving town?

I'll probably hang here in H-town, avoiding gunshot, maybe brave a peek at the sky and see if I'm still alive once or twice... then once again in the morning.

Maybe twice. This is Houston.

Until then, I'm watching for the third day the afternoon showers dust my garden with sprinkles and sprinkles only...
I watered good this evening.

Bet it rains now... ha!

Boring night, folks...

Maybe I'll go raindance in the garden.

Yeah...

Slainte!
