I have been away from my desk
for quite a long time. Well, not really. I have been at my desk, but I have been checking weather reports,
and watching boxscores of baseball games, as well as avoiding adding anything new to my web site.
But now, it is time to start adding new stuff to it.
As I walk along these Brooklyn streets and see so many unhappy and bored faces, I realized that is time to start tossing
some rainbows about.
Whether they will be pictures or words of inspiration or humor, that will be up to whatever the moment demands.
Sounds like a tough assignment, but I've got a plan, so don't worry. There are enough things in all of our lives to
worry about, so just be patient. I'll keep swinging for the fences, I'm bound to hit one out eventually, or even if
I don't, the bat may fly out of my hands or I may split my pants or something...
Mothers' Day Tribute:
To my grandmother who was a very frugal spender. If you drank tea, she would write your
name on the bag and save it for your next visit. One of her teabags for me lasted about six months of visits.
I think at the end, the paper was giving more flavor to the water than the bag.
She would never buy brand name food. Instead of Coke, there was either Cruddy Kola, or
Fizzless Tasteless.
This same grandmother was not a great cook. She was the only person I know who loved
hospital food. Her cooking was so bad that even the cockaroaches wouldn't eat it.
I once saw a mouse who had eaten some of her cooking doubled over and vomiting over the
toilet.
Of course I loved my grandmother, but I would always make sure that I would eat before I went
there. ............
"The gears don't mesh"
This was one of the cliche kings favorites. Of course the cliche king is my father.
He would use it when he felt that someone wasn't doing something the way that he wanted.
Another of his favorites was "You fight over candy, tomorrow there's not going to be
any candy." He would follow that one with " You don't believe me? Well, son of a bitch, you better start believing me."

Welcome to my world of humor, dreams and escape from the boredom and frustration of the everyday sameness.
I once drove for the Green Hornet.

Today's ordeal was with the tempermental computer printer combo. I'm
not sure who was the culprit, but it took me an hour to print something that normally would take thirty seconds. The
annoying thing is that when the problem is finally solved, there is no Aha! solution.
The thing finally works, but without explanation. Like an annoying tornado that blows in,
wreaks havoc, and then disappears like it never happened except for the ripped up trees, and thrown about cars and roofs,
and debris all over.
With the computer problem, it usually leaves behind a burning stomach, anger, frustration, and
a loss of sleep. My wise brother in law from the south, who eats cookies like a rat, explains it as they just don't
work right sometimes, for no good reason...I've learned to not take it personal, I just keep trying everything until the storm
clears. That was my ordeal for today.
