UP EARly simply can’t wait, chomping at the bit as they say. SO MUCH to do and look forward to. The Dark Hour is stretching out closer now to two (2) hours and the temperature range appears to be stuck on ‘delightful’.

Yesterday afternoon as I was working in Studio Uno (aka/iow the garage), I walked into the house and it was warmer, but pleasantly so than it was outside. Warm and dare I say ‘cozy’ without damaging my gender identity?

Stars won last night which is big. Not huge but it was a win, a thriller but against the ‘rebuilding’ Senators visiting from O (Oh) Ottawa. I now wonder if they play(ed) the Canadian national anthem just before the game? They should and I wonder first if anyone sings or everyone remains standing showing full respect? Hard to tell.

Returning this day to the hot morning beverage of tea, sumac-hibiscus with lime and stevia. Just so good it should or COULD be considered sinful.

The 2019 World Series starts tonight. Made an inquiry yesterday with FB about going to a later game in Houston other than the first three (3) should it go that long. Should be very exciting and if the opportunity presents itself finding a telly and actually watching however as I verbalize or tap this out the appeal drops off watching on telly.

Not so bad the company or the venue one actually watches the game on telly but the announcers, commercials and replays make THIS ONE want to puke. Sorry. ‘VOMIT’.

I spoke to my Uncle John yesterday. It rapidly turned into a 20 minute gigglefest. He is a very astute baseball fan and we TOTALLY agreed on the value(less) and hype on NYY OF Judge. So far over-rated as to be sad. I was reading earlier some moron from NJ heaping praise on judge for his ‘accountability and leadership’. I nearly fired back a flame-throwing reply but it dawned on me that this person WAS afterall a yankee fan and therefore capable of ANYTHING. Refer to yesterdays link on NYY fan behavior. Raving lunatic comes to mind so I kept my thoughts and opinion here on the Hill and in the could.

Just before I rang up Unk my Mom called. She was watching the news and heard tornados ‘ripped’ thru North Dallas and one (1) person was killed. She was checking to make sure it wasn’t me, FB, S1 or the nextGENS. I assured her everyone was fine and I was NOT the one fatality.

I could tell she was relieved as the anxiety and tension in her voice dropped.

What else?

Did artsy-fartsy woodworking projects in Studio I, brief gardening and took Underwater Sculpture (US) to the Martin Place gallery for jury (approval) for an exhibit in the month of November to be held in conjunction with the annual studio tour here MAST.

I was thinking the project was done but transporting and veiwing in a different light(s) I am thinking it needs a little more work before I drop it off this weekend so THAT is a priority for the remainder of this week.

LIKE WHAT FOR EXAMPLE?

I thought I was going to miss your mindless interruptions.

There are two (2) fish currently configured for suspending on the base (habitat). One of them is not quite finished painting so that needs to be done. It is a spotfin and I have three (3) more completed but not for suspension mounting and I would prefer to NOT drill even the smallest of holes unless absolutely necessary IOW a ‘sale’.

The plan is to also suspend a second sergeant major which is done and has been hung as a ‘prototype’ so good to go on that one.

The remaining tropical fish on the piece will be the rare ones and they will be on the small rods or posts in small holes drilled around the base which enables them to be spun around, turned or change their locations. I’ll post a picture.

Tonight potluck at Saint Michaels so as you can clearly see a full day about to unfold.

Guess who is now up and starting to peak over the horizon?

THE SUN !!

You’re not so stupid after all.
