Out of Chaos

-> comes our house

9 of us for dinner and the subsequent mound of cleaning up.
I got a start , last night and continued a bit this morning.

I think that I can live w/  a little disarray but it needs to be organized. If the dirty stuff is in one place and there is a space to work then I'llsit down and consider.

We are at that point. Items need to be returned into cupboards or taken downstairs.
The good part is the choice of breakfast items. Left - overs.
Neat , my fav

Weather : damp , we got dumped on last night , by the remains of Himmicane Nate. Headed for 70 w/ humidity and clearing by to - night

Canadian Thanksgiving

this week end

The cousins come over - 2 , a brother and sister , we grew up to - gether , visiting back and forth. We had cottages on the same road.

And the wife and 5 second cousins. 

Weather : ov/cast , dampish and a breeze blowing. The temperature is something like 70 give or take

Not as the Jongleurs

tell it

The reference is to a quote about love as explained to a young girl in one of my reads. Basically , there is romantic love that singers and poets dollify up - and of course , the reality whatever it is , so different.

Thus , I was thinking of the old cliche ' work hard and try ' or
 ' stay in school , b/c no one will ever hire you w/out an education '
and 
then the scads of young people who obeyed the rules , now , looking for jobs 
and getting part time or
contract work

I'm listening to ' My One and Only Love ' written by Wood / Mellin
as played by YoYo Ma and Joshua Redmond
again , 10 000 hits and a 10 million mega watt rendition
Same old Same Old 
thats me , 10 000 out of 10 million

The weather is a mixed bag : sun , drear and wind
The temperature is to hit 70 +

They didn't lie. We still had the heat on , our temperature indoors was / is 75 F but 71 F outside ,  thus windows open 
cooling down , mayhaps

The house , here , was involved in the ' bake the turkey - the - day - before routine '.
Bake / cool down  / slice , then cover  the meat 
to - morrow , we are hosting
warm the meat up in a closed container w/ chicken broth
til hot enough to eat
 This process cuts down on hassle the day of
well , you couldn't prove it by us
Nutso ! to - day

Fri OC 6

brilliant title

Woke up , kinda

Good Morning , to overcast and despondent day
in English Lit , this was called sympathetic ................. (?) when the day mirrors the mode

Reflecting on fishing. The day was partly cloudy , thank goodness
b/c I have discovered that I do not do well in the sun. 
For old man fishing , the guys let me come in around noon and I get a nap. AND hide from the sun
Past experience , w/ sun exposure tells me that consecutive days out in the sun results in a badly off fisherman.
I can actually , feel my skin radiate heat -
in fact , I've taken to using Aloe Solarcaine skin gel , for sunburn relief and moisturizing, right after fishing

Did you know some YouTube videos have 230 million hits.
I'm listening to Paul Bollenback and Ron Affif play ' My One and Only Love ' by Mellin / Wood. Utterly sublime... I come back to it - well , whenever !
#of hits 1998 and I'm 50 of them

And , so typical of my life
my favourites are always 2000 out of 230  million

 

Yes , We Went Fishing

in lieu of travelling far away to fish

same old , same old
We went to my old cottage for 2 nights
We down graded from a trip over the border and South to , up north and over a bit.
We got very little
Thurs was supposed to be the grand finale. the boys did well on Lovesick L. and the return was to be glorious
We struck out
Our neighbour at the cottage said ' thats why its called fishing and not catching  '
so appropos

Weather co - operated. Windy and cool w/ mostly sun.
Scenery was majestic
or wilderness on parade

Good any way

On the Buds , again

but

My attention was riveted by news out of Las Vegas

How Do Stones Sleep ?

Hi D.C.

A regrettable day
