Einstein said that he could never understand it all..... -- James Taylor, Secret O' Life I don't know which of you talked to them, but the word-elves are back. They knocked down the door the other night, looking for steak and eggs as though nothing had happened. Little buggers. Lots has happened lately; so much that I I officially qualify myself as “breathless”. It is a delightful thought: First: I’m off to my home state of Michigan tomorrow, to go be a Michigoose again. (If you don’t know what a Michigoose is, Google it). This particular Michigoose is bringing three kids; two my own, one my Liz’ boyfriend. Second: next week we will a) be Abstaining with my brother the Shakespeare professor, b) driving racecars with my Brother the engineer, c) reliving our Childhood while kayaking down the Thornapple, and d) Dancing with the Irish. In between, it will be e) toasts of Laophraig (Expensive Scottish whiskey that gets you drunk as shit in two thimblefuls) and f) watching Liz run the horses in a true Michigan setting as we cross our booted feet and drink my brothers’ homebrew on the back Forty…… And all in all…….g) a Great few days off. Jeez, how musical can we be??? I might be Julie Andrews in The Sound Of Music.....do re mi fa so la ti......(I can almost hear the refrain....) God I need this. Third: I AM A PROUD MAMA. My daughter Liz (see the photo) won her first FIRST as a Champion Irish dancer. This is the equivalent of qualifying for the Olympics. And before you ask: no, that is NOT a dog on her head. ISN’T SHE LOVELY? (Isn't she wonderful...) Fourth: Still grooving. Working too hard. Counting cards with my beloved. Thankful for friends who are willing to seize the day. All in all, a good weekend. I'm dizzy with possibility and cruising on auto-pilot. More, more more, when I am landed and grounded. LadyKitty, signing out. |

Misty, Misty, Misty....isn't it our fate, to experience the lovely parts of life, and to constantly savor what is put in front of us??? I think it is destiny for our generation. Thank YOU, my friend, for your trip from Victoria to Hieronymus Bosch. Did you know that Grand Rapids, MI is the second largest Dutch population outside of the Netherlands??? Only South Africa is larger....so, as a Michigoose, I feel related...... I am happy that you are living your dream. The best thing for the entire Universe is for both of us to continue wishing happiness for all of us. What a thought. LadyK

I'm laffin now that according to Julie, Christopher Plummer referred to it as the Sound of Mucus. I guess he wished he had been doing Shakespeare somewhere else. I'm laffin too that now I remember William Shatner said he would rather have been doing serious acting, like Hamlet, than having to do Star Trek to pay the bills. I personally am glad he condescended to be Captain Kirk for us. Anslatetra istha, Iendfra inderfa -- Elvish for Translate this, friend finder

I personally am glad he condescended to be Captain Kirk for us. We all need Shakespeare....and we all need those Priceline commercials as well (my current favorite Shatner performances). Only the strong survive. Thanks for the memories! LakyDay

LakyDay / LadyKay (do you transpose your name on purpose like that or are you lysdexic like me?) For Shatner fans those Priceline ads show us the compleat Shatner... looking at Wikpedia -- he has a prodigious bio -- and - another Canadian. Is nobody an American anymore? Somebody check his green card. Anslatetra istha, Iendfra inderfa -- Elvish for Translate this, friend finder

It's LakyDay when I've had a glass of wine. Yesterday was my 50th birthday, so I had several. LadyK (sober now) Anslatetra istha, Iendfra inderfa -- Elvish for Translate this, friend finder
