Gowdy is great news for us not so much for Susan Rice. He’s tenacious.

FABULOUS fanfaronade for old St. Pat! I hope that gave Ti a grin. I feel for her. I found it easier to lose 100 lbs than to face another rehab! So far, it’s working. My new knee is strong and pain free (after 4 years), and my old (other) knee is passable. A physical therapist at my church told me that every lb lost is 4 lbs less stress on a person’s joints.

A++ Rehab stinks. Just took another pain pill.

That is good news about the knees> If I lose a few pounds maybe i can get my knees to stop hurting too. (The winter has really disrupted my daily two mile walk with Penny-The-Prancing-Pitbull, but SPRING has SPRUNG, and we did a mile today!)

I found that the pain pills did NOTHING for me. Actually, rubbing Aspercream on the knee, applying a cold pack, and taking Advil worked better.

Tramadol with Tylenol and ice pack.

Sesquipedalianism isn’t nice
when fewer syllables will suffice.
Evincing fanfaronade
or rhodomontade
is seldom worth the price.

Word for the day haiku:
Trumps fanfaronade,
while I wish that it would fade,
is his stock in trade.

Fanfaronade! Paper tigers on parade
Fanfaronade! Show your face so the Media will always find you
Fanfaronade! Every face a diverse shade
Fanfaronade! Look around, there’s a camera right behind you!
