shltting report -- still perfect. tho i think jiminey has something on his mind... he was acting just a little strange yesterday
Somebody said that Edgar Guest ( 1881) should have been a more prominent poet.. with His quiddity. By the time he gets to the third paragraph he has the internet down pat....
There are thousands to prophecy failure-
there are thousands to point out to you one by one
the dangers that wait to assail you
but just start to sing...... and tackle the thing....
ok Edgar, I am on it.
Actually--- we daily doggers....have a camera person in pagosa springs where my sister lives-- ? carol? So if you happen to see Fran and you say to her “somebody said that it couldn’t be done” I bet you a nickel she will recite the whole thing word for word... and she is 4 years older than me.
It was one of the poems my mother stuck on our mirrors pretty much weekly... and we got $1 to memorize them---- “If” by Rudyard Kippling hung in the hall—and earned $10...( now hangs behind my kerigg coffee maker. The concept is planted half way between my 2 ears)
I never got to the bloodied unbowed head of Invictus, but I knew about it.
*****
Moving on. Karl is with us once again.... I had started the come/back up. With him last time he was here... to be continued.. larkey—his brother /littermate? Enjoys bugging him and chases him up onto my bed regularly...
****.
Judy said we “engaged” 129 people last week- the last bunch were in an assisted living place.
There is a distinct bifurcation in living assists....
. 1. You open the door to enter and leave..
2. You ask staff to come poke the password which will open the door for you..
I remember....... judy was having one bunch of altziemer patients “help” her by coloring some poo pickers with crayons—and one man wrote on his “a ralph hemmings original” – ok... who was he in his previous life to even know about originals???
Like the guy who told staff he trained horses for the movies—they all sat him in the corner ----thought he was nuts, until I came along and verified I had borrowed his horse many times.....
You just never know what is behind the mind...
