My goal was to get my head all straightened out by Monday and I did admit it was going to be a long haul----- well I think I set the goal too high -----I think my goal should have been Just to locate my second slipper by  Monday... I hate to hear the words like cognitive disorder because to even look at this desktop on my computer is a perfect example of that... however there are  glimmers of hope.. I did write a thing for the newspaper which I like. basically it's based on Edgar guests “somebody said that it couldn't be done.”.. sandy working with two dogs-- absolutely ridiculous--- never heard of it --can't do it--But she's doing it and having a good time.. and both she and the dogs are so funny than any place she goes with them is readily acceptable including that crazy nightclub that she took me to----- I'm sure they are thrilled to have both those dogs there---- the entire staff was fascinated with just the one-----    and if one of your purposes in life is to have people around you be cheerful and smiling I would say her having two dogs is accomplishing that..---- And all the people with the. “what if” presenting all the problems that she could have should first go and memorize the entire poem..  and then go and memorize if by Rudyard Kipling--and then just rethink the whole situation.. there are thousands to prophecy failure.. talk about ruining fun??

 

so yesterday with a great deal of difficulty we located #22 Warren St. In Woburn..  having been LED astray by this Siri person who lives in my dashboard..  she got talking to judy's cell phone.. and the two had quite the argument before I happened to notice  we were on the street that said N Warren St... Which was one way.... causing me to drive backwards a good quarter of a mile to get out of it.. with judy praying the whole time that we didn’t get  arrested....    however we did locate 22 Warren St. Which was a Bill  Cummings absolutely beautiful Assisted living place where there was a group oh maybe 30  residence all lined up for some sort of Saturday morning discussion group that Judy somehow stumbled into when the activities director was hard pressed for what to discuss.. then we showed up, ----- had a lot of laughs with all the things that can go not wrong but askew  in the process of making movies.. one of my favorite stories has become. trying to get 12 sheep lying quietly in a row on a hillside in Littleton mass.. at sunrise..  when the real problem was that sunrise was only going to last for 18 minutes. and there wouldn't be another one until tomorrow.. Luckily I had in the car with me A roll of duct tape//I simply  folded their legs double and duct taped the fuzzy legs so that I then had 12 totally portable sheep that you could pick up and put down anywhere ..  sheep are like that they just give up kind of like when you're sharing them and literally set them on their rear they don't move.

 

I dunno why I asked... but  I wondered the age of all these people—turns out, I was the oldest !   --- the last official piece of paper I had to fill out told me I was 85.8  when I put in the 100137 birthday – I wondered just who – and why—that piece of information was critical enough for any programmer to have spent time dealing with the .8. .. but there it was !

  judy --- aside from being  efficient and hysterical very often drives- thankfully--- especially  on return trips.  Judy has zero sense of direction  and  is inclined to believe this siri person’s word as gospel- thanks to my years of delivering magazines. I am known to argue ...loudly and successfully... with siri.

 siri lies often ....

 

I wonder if anyone has done a study on the percentage of truth “spoken” on various forms of communication... like facebook vs ABC news --
