Question

Is it possible for anything less to be happening?

Ugh! Must Post to Blog

Recently there have been some complaints about me not posting to my blog. Okay, really just one, and it was not really a complaint, more of an observation ... so here I post:

The good vibes from my birthday carried over until Tuesday about noonish. After that problems at work dominated my week until Friday at 5:00.

A lot of newbies at the Friday dance, which is great. Once the oldbies come back at the end of the summer, we'll be very crowded. I've been retaking the Lindy 1 class and working hard on the 'basics' again. I know it's a dance, therefore art and subject to interpretation, that being said, I still have some bad habits. People say I'm fun to dance with, and I have a good time, so that's what I am there to do.

Sis still is alive and fiesty. She has adapted to having a tumor, and seems to be back to the energy level she was at before it appeared. It doesn't seem to be getting any bigger either. Maybe she has a little more time left. She attacked Zeke on Thursday, Warning: Cats should not go near the rat cage when the lid is off. Mandy and Sis got in a big fight over a piece of cheesey bread too; there was no point in me trying to give them other piece (which I was), they wanted to fight over that one.

Thank You

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all the thoughtful people who have made my birthday special this year. I know it's not even half over yet, but with all the activities yesterday at work and at JNO, I feel really blessed and appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What's all the Buzz About? A Sting Operation

I knew that the bees had borrowed a gopher hole near the tree. In fact I reminded myself of this fact four times BEFORE I even started the lawn mower and again not :15 seconds before I ran over the hole. I have two or three stings on my right leg now. I can't tell for sure because I think I got two right close together on my achilles tendon. The bad one in on my calf, pretty colors, nice swelling. I took a benedryl and two tylenol. i'm still not afraid of bees, but I could sure tell them all to buzz off.

Dress for the Weather?

I went down to Lindy in the Park today, it was a good time, but not really well attended. It may have had a little to do with the weather. Personally when I know I am going to be hot and humid, but there will be shade available, I wear as little as I possibly can wear. I am surprised at how many people, who were going to be dancing outside, had long shirts and pants on at the same time. Not to single out poor Billy, because he wasn't the only one, but he had a long sleeve shirt and an undershirt and long pants and socks and heavy shoes... it's like 1,000,000F out there!!!

This is Nebraska, the sun isn't going to strike you down, especially since we have plenty of shade for Lindy in the Park, it's the humidity and dehydration that are going get you. I'm thinking a lot of clothing is not helpful. This is of course coming from a guy who wears long sleeves to stay warm until it's about 80F, I don't think it's thin blood that makes people do it, cause I have that.

I stayed cool the old fashioned way... I picked a water fight with Jordan, and didn't resist getting soaked.
