2595 Days since retiring July 1, 2005!

Read on and fall sound asleep

As promised the picture above shows the cast of actors and characters in “Midsummer Night’s Dream”.

Today a small miracle occurred. Our son and his senior son installed the air conditioner in my wife’s bedroom. There was a lot of hollering and cussing but it got installed and properly. I suppose my refusal to bestir myself from the recliner with Rascal until the crack of 2 pm had a lot to do with that decision. The two grandsons also hauled most of the heavy debris to the curb preparing for Heavy Trash pickup next Thursday.

I just thought I saw bad handwriting while I was indexing the 1940 Federal Census. An example of typical style of handwriting I have found in the Texas Marriage record 1877 to 1977 is shown in the small pic below.

Can you determine who is married to who? The answer is under the sexy girl bar below.

I spent most of the day trying to entice Rascal to drink or eat. To the best of my knowledge he has done neither since returning from the vet. If he has not drunk by tomorrow I will syringe water to him. I am more worried about dehydration than I am starvation. He and I have also been watching Ken Burns documentary “The War”.

Marion Townsend married Corrie Matthews, W.L. White officiating

An elderly senior couple was invited to an old friend’s home for dinner one evening. She was impressed by the way her lady friend preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc.

The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.

While the husband was in the living room, her lady friend leaned over to her host to say, "I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your husband all those loving pet names.

The elderly lady hung her head. "I have to tell you the truth," she said, "His name slipped my mind about 10 years ago, and I'm scared to death to ask the cranky old fart what his name is."

”In all intellectual debates, both sides tend to be correct in what they affirm, and wrong in what they deny.”
