All the strawberry talk got me to thinking about Captain Queeg ..

Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic..

'Sup peeps? Hope everyone's doin' ok. I've been kinda holed up a lot here lately, it's been really rainy here the last few weeks, so stayin' in, watching a lot of stuff on Netflix and reading. Did get out this evening, son and family took us out for dinner, had a good time and the Tutto Mare was most excellent.

And here I thought no one would get it :) ... Since I'm feeling particularly melancholy tonight, and yes, I have imbibed ... I'll launch into one of my, what used to be regular, mind wandering, random thought rambles ..

The World is chock full of problems, kind and gentle folks that have lived good lives face uphill odds every single day, which the small and tiny issues an old man like me chews over seem trivial and self-serving ... yet, as I age and cannot help but look back on the Glory Days, I sometimes become convinced I'm akin to Gloria Swanson / Norma Desmond in Sunset BLVD ... an aging antique, not always graceful, certainly more grounded in a time long past than a time of Modern Wonders ...

Life teaches us to push on, to make the best of things, to not dwell on what has been, to look forward .. yet, Life slowly and inexorably takes away, piece by piece, brick by brick .. and we bend, and we try not to break .. and it's hard, so hard some days ..

Cherish your son's and your daughters .. cherish the Grandkids ..

We used to smear butter on a slice of bread and sprinkle sugar on it. Turns out Mike did that too and called it sugar bread. My brother and I were allowed 2 cookies and a glass of milk before bed, but sometimes we were out, so.... there was usually a little box of chocolate pudding mix in the pantry. You had to be careful eating that powdered stuff with a spoon. The powder would go up in our nose from the back of our throat! Weird how that happens.
I like to make cinnamon toast. Always keep some sugar mixed with cinnamon in a little plastic tub in the pantry. That way all I have to do is make some toast and butter it. No looking for ingredients and mixing involved. Just take a teaspoon and sprinkle it on. Mmmm Mmmm! :)

Unfortunately, I saw the doctor Tuesday, and was sentenced to four more weeks of no weight bearing. And then, presumably, to another week or so showing that I can successfully get around with a walker and stick to only partial weight bearing. Grrrr. In the meantime I was promoted to a cam boot, which seems like torture to me. It's much heavier and more restrictive than the cast was. Not a happy camper.

Well, that REALLY sucks, and I feel for you. I really DO!! When I was six months pregnant with my first one, I had a cast on my left leg because I fell and broke my ankle. If I broke something now, I think it would kill me. If I can't get around, you may as well shoot me.

Geez Roto, I can't imagine being pregnant with a broken ankle! Hubby broke his ankle playing softball in his thirties, doc put some screws in hubby's ankle and said that was the end of hubby's softball career. I wasn't pregnant, but it sure did seem like the hospital sent home a baby instead of hubby..... :rolleyes: :D
