I went grocery shopping earlier today. I didn’t see any fresh pork shoulders so I settled for ribs. Oh well.

Are you off today? OB is still at work. I’ve been staining the new upstairs window, not pleased with the color yet, but I have to put on a second coat so I can try to correct it then.

I did my stocking up earlier today, relieving my wallet of $78 in the process.

Heh. I took thecat in for full service. It may take a while for my checkbook to recover.

But to just attribute musical ability to "talent" is kind of an insult, in my mind. It discounts the work involved.

It's rather like the (very) old joke:

Tourist: Tell me, how do you get to Carnegie Hall?

New Yorker: practice, practice, practice!

Heh...one of the dorm buildings at Maryville College (where the camp I went to is held) is called Carnegie Hall. That’s the one I stayed in, actually.

It makes for a lot of jokes. ;-)

Ladies Day at the oil changing place? Now someone is thinking! It’s usually the gals who end up having to hang around and wait for the oil change to be done, and it’s boring, just sitting there.

Well! Now that's a rant! LOL! Thanks for the Birthday greeting!

I just opened my Firefox for the day, a few minutes ago, which is unusual for me!

I hear folks all the time, when I encourage them to sing in Church, say, "I just can't sing well". I always tell them, "God gave you your voice, so give it back to Him!". ;o) If they're in a big crowd at Mass, most folks aren't going to hear them well, anyway. I'm thinking I'd like to learn to play the piano, someday. I used to play the guitar; mostly just chords, but it was fun! I haven't played in over 25 years, though.

We may not make thepier this trip. If we do, it will be on our way out on Saturday. Beach week is more complicated when there’s 11 people along. But it’s been a good week.

Jr’s got a vey bad sunburn though. All blistered up. And yes, we told him about sunscreen.

We took today off from thebeach and did go-karts and putt-putt. Heading back out early tomorrow to spend the day on the beach, come home and grill some steaks and then see the fireworks.

It’s been a different beach week. Not so much vegging as we usually do, and that’s been a good thing.

Fifty don’t seem so bad after all...

I'm not sure how to describe my singing, maybe "Unearthly" or "Cats in heat" might be accurate descriptions lol.

Great to have a night out! We're celebrating tomorrow night by going to the beer and burger theater to see Ironman! Both SirKit and I are now part of the Double Nickel Club. ;o)
