13: Can You Dig It?
1. The Post in Which I Explain to Six-year-old Bryce What Cupid’s Arrow is and how we spent our Valentine’s Day HERE.
2. I remember when there used to be a Barbie doll in a red dress trapped in a birdcage that was hanging at Oddfella’s Cantina.
3. While dancing myself into a trance at the Mardi Gras on Saturday, I was sure I spotted Ken Burns on the dance floor.
4. Barbie and Ken take notice HERE. 
5. Make out, make over, make up, make do, make good time, make love, make my day, make beds and perfect sense – A flashback paraphrase to a poem I wrote in the ’90s.
6. I got caught on camera for a spot that played on channel 7 news. I only wish I hadn’t taken my mask off before it happened. See HERE.
7. Funny how sometimes the pictures most likely to be deleted turn out to be some of the best and end up having names like Mardi Gras Renoir, Mardi Gras Brouha, Out of Focus Hocus Pocus and You Know Who You Are. See HERE.
8. An editor recently had to add periods for something I had written in which I referred to L.L. Bean but left out the periods, which made me wonder what the initials stand for: The mail order, online retail company that was founded in 1912 is named for its founder Leon Leonwood Bean.
9. When I’m dancing to a James Brown song, I break out in a cold sweat.
10. THIS is the best alphabet song that children of all ages love. My dad used to sing it to us (like THIS) and I’ve sung it to many little kids. Most recently I taught it to my grandsons. Most recently, I taught it to my grandsons, and we made up our own words for the letters that needed them.
11. Anyone who thinks the research establishment won’t come to specific, pre-determined conclusions due to collusion between governments and industry probably doesn’t know that 97–99% of medical journal advertising profits come from pharmaceutical companies, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Or that those who masquerade as “independent medical experts” aren’t so independent. – From Bringing Much Needed Sanity to the Vaccine Debate HERE.
12. Teapoet: Spoonful of honey / Bright sun in February / Cream pours / like snow falls
13. My love cupid’s shooting arrows are HERE, HERE and HERE.

I’m always hanging on to bad pictures just because I hope to redeem them in photoshop. Only recently have I started removing some.

Leon Leonwood is a bit of a mouthful. I’m not surprised he shortened it!

You’ve given me a big smile. 🙂 Thanks.

I love this! Random and fun! I am a big lover of LL Bean and I never use the periods! 🙂

Regarding #11, most of our research, being company funded, gets the results the companies want. It is scary to think that there is no real independent oversight of anything, but especially the food we eat and the medications we take. It is a testament to the strength of humanity that we aren’t all dead.

When I listen to James Brown, I Feel Good. I knew that I would…

One night at the restaurant a young girl looked up at me, near tears and asked “What did Barbie do?” I patiently explained to her that Barbie hadn’t done anything. It was “representational art” and she didn’t need to worry. That seemed to soothe her somewhat.
With regard to #11…millions of people today are alive because of vaccines. Go after the fraud, sure, but not the science. The science works. People don’t.

I really love this TT! I haven’t been here in awhile…..way to busy. I really am glad I stopped by today. I LOVED hearing the song by Perry Como. I knew it word for word and sang along with a tear in my eye, knowing and remembering when Dad sang it to us.
PS I never saw you in the News Video. I watched the whole thing too.

I was in the background. Had a black beret on and was talking to the women in the pink gown.
Don’t forget to teach A You’re Adorable to your grandgirls!
