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.

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.

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

Word for the day haiku:

Trump’s fanfaronade,
while I wish that it would fade,
is his stock in trade.

An ode to Chuck U. & the Dims...
(Courtesy “Phantom of the Opera”)

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!

similar to Scrabble rules, if your haiku rhymes you get 3x the points!
