XXII N 2017

This is four (4) days in a row which I am thinking is some kind of record but that said, looking now for a couple days off, this could even be the last entry for N 17. Who knows ? Usually The Shadow nose.

WHAT ABOUT THE BIBLICAL BREAKFAST YOU PROMISED ?

Some where in a dictionary, far away, a pictorial version, on a page between persistent & pest is YOUR picture.

OK. Real quick recipe, formula or protocol for Bill’s Biblical breakfast follows.

Think the Last Supper but the next morning after. As in ‘leftovers’ ? Communion, por favor ?

Red wine, left out but covered for protection from insects, falling debris and airborne particulate matter, room temperature of course so it is well-opened and … resussitated, and bread.

I am using the MAST leftover gallon of Carlos Rossi Burgundy and the small diameter sliced loaf of French bagette and Fans, I am going to be having this for some time if I want to. But I am seeing limits approaching.

The taste of the fully opened red wine is most flavorful and bread not necessarily the freshest is marvelous AND taken together slowly in small sips & bites is quite spiritual. Try it and send your thoughts or feelings.

Send complaints to Santa Claus.

IN other news …

One of my Christmas gifts arrived yesterday.

WHAT, BEFORE THANKSGIVING ?

Shut up.

Por favor.

After doing some research on line, I drove over to Stonebriar Mall. I think it is documented a few entries back. I had to order the house slippers I wanted the exact same kind I had but they were out of them and they arrived yesterday. The postman, a large, polite darkie scared the bejesus out of your writer as I was TOTALLY engrossed in a carving in the garage, Studio Uno, was expecting no visitors and viola !!

He apologized for startling me which of course I immediately accepted.

Anyway, they are lined inside & INTACT unlike the ones they replace. The now-tossed ones I could walk on the Italian stone floor and in the winter time the toes on the right foot would get cold on the bare floor. You getting the picture ?

These are like walking on little clouds, IN THE CLOUD !!

I mean I am sleeping better just KNOWING …

And Chuck Manson passed. At 83 and his life sentence is now over. I guess I can chuck my 'free Charlie' t-shirt. I wonder what the cost savings would have been to execute (fry) him right away versus all this time in jail paying for his cable tv, cigarettes, three hots, the cot, etc ?

My little mind is boggled I don’t mind disclosing.

I drift from the teachings of the Church in this regard. Some people are born bad, turn bad, go bad or get broken and let’s be brutally honest right here, right now for a moment, why do we MAINTAIN such … creatures ?

I am in a painting mode but the sun isn’t up yet so the light ain’t right.

The Biblical breakfast is morphed to the yerba mate/ coffee blend and I am ROARING.

FB is swinging by this afternoon to pick up some things her M-I-L needs from T/giving preps.

LIKE WHAT DO YOU HAVE THAT SHE COULD POSSIBLY EVER NEED ?

Very funny.

I have a high-dollar KitchenAid heavy duty mixer, jet black, think Ferrari of mixers, with the capability to mix concrete if necessary. And get this … NEVER used.

WHAT ? WHY ??

Yeah. I bought it shortly after purchasing two (2) books on baking bread and another to make pretzels neither of which I followed thru with. Hey, that’s my life & welcome to it.

SO with FB is coming around, some tidying up as always is in order. Just arranging and making some order. Shouldn’t take too long but when the light gets right, I really, REALLY (10X) want to paint. The commission and a couple of shorebirds. And I got ‘into’ a larger tropical fish yesterday when the postman showed up that has momentum and gathered inertia so it’s not like I am sitting around doing nada.

Oh, also I went to APL yesterday afternoon and got another Vince Flynn audiobook. There is an undervalued resource the masses are simply scoffing at but in this case, GOOD for them. No waiting for those of us in the upper intelligence eshelons.
