Friday Funnies

Hi,

Another storm overnight, another beautiful day. It's gotten to the point where we can judge the intensity of the storm by the size of various puddles around town. (5) Today we made progress on the acupuncture project, and it looks like this is the night for the Bazaar.

There's no question about it. One of your favorite songs is "A Horse With No Name" by America. I haven't had such a big, enthusiastic response in a very long time. It also seems that this little pastime brings up many fond memories.
Let's see who's old enough to remember our 'Old School Friday' song: "Don't know much about history, don't know much biology, don't know much about a science book, don't know much about the French I took. But I do know that I love you, and I know that if you love me too..." Hint: The title is two words and both of them begin with the same letter. We heard from this artist recently, like last Friday.

The yard crew just left, as the sun was setting. The lawns always look a bit strange right after they leave because the fine art of mowing is still developing. There are ways to do it, but more sophistication is needed. The one thing that may have been an improvement is the unclogging of our 'lawn drains' in both yards. When the house was landscaped, Kek put in tubing that went from a low spot in the yard, and ran it through the wall and into the field next door. Over the last two years the tubes have gathered grass and dirt. This has contributed to our 'lakes' when it rains heavily. Now we'll see if it makes a difference. Over all, the yard looks like it just got a hair cut, all neat and tidy. (Did I say tidy?)

This morning we went to Overbrook Hospital to try again to get the info on acupuncture appointments. We know it's there, and they told us to come back so we did. We did the usual check-in, got weighed and had our blood pressure taken. I weigh the same thing I did over two years ago. Now we enter the hall of weird: We both had the same blood pressure. It was 130/70, which is great. After that, one of the nurses recognized us from yesterday, and told us to come back at 2pm. We returned on time and were taken to the 3rd floor by a very happy guy. Whenever you have to go to a different department, the hospital always has an escort take you. Our guy today started humming quietly in the elevator. At one point we made eye contact and I got a big smile. The acupuncturist is actually a medical doctor that has been specializing for three years. I found that to be very interesting. We both had a treatment and will return in a week.

A funny thing happened on the way from the hospital: Lisa mentioned that if we go to the Night Bazaar, we could pay the water bill. I said, 'the what'? She said, 'the water bill'. This went back and forth for three more times, and then she got it: The water bin. We both fell out laughing. Or maybe you had to be there. (555)

I think it's time for the 'Funnies'. Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny
