In God's good time, Which does not always fall on Saturday When the world looks for wages.
Robert Browning
Ran into this one while looking:
I was raised in the Jewish tradition, taught never to marry a Gentile woman, shave on a Saturday night and, most especially, never to shave a Gentile woman on a Saturday night.

Great memories of Army days:
It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.

Doggone snow is doggone! 56 degrees at 1430 in Denver. First nice sunny day since we got here. So what to do ?
When you can't figure out what to do, it's time for a nap.

While flipping through the several hundred available channels on ROKU last evening, I came across reruns of "Major Dad". This was our family favorite because when it first aired, I WAS a Major and a dad.
Most worries are reruns.

Reaggravated my back moving patio furniture around couple of days ago. Back on muscle relaxers and rest.

My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.

Today, I start the seasonal ritual known as "lawn maintenance". Note in the following "lawn mowing" is not mentioned.
Personally, I believe a rocking hammock, a good cigar, and a tall gin-and-tonic is the way to save the planet.

First lawn mowing of the year. Back still good: achy not painful. Had to get a new battery for the mower.
It's not that the grass is greener on the other side, it's that you can never be on both sides of the lawn at the same time.

Car show Saturday. So, a car quote:
Scientists have found a way to keep middle-aged female mice from going through menopause. Now they're working on a way to keep middle-aged male mice from buying expensive sports cars.
