ENOUGH ALREADY!

Can we please never mention the former President again? Remember during the campaign, he promised that if he lost to Joe Biden, you'd never hear from him again. The SOB never shuts up. I have heard more from him since he lost than when he was in office. Just STFU! And to the news media: stop covering every utterance the orange buffoon says.

If you've ever wondered why I don't blog more than I do, it's mostly because I like to write when I have the place to myself, which doesn't happen very often. The hubby doesn't understand "alone time" -- he even gets upset when I leave for my weekly pool night with the guys. He needs to learn how to enjoy alone time, not dread it.

It's nice being able to go to the movies again. We've seen quite a few since the restrictions have been lessened, at least here in SF. We still wear our masks most of the time, but being able to remove them to enjoy a movie seems like a real treat. The new James Bond movie was a real disappointment. I won't spoil it with why it was such a downer, but you've probably heard already.


The aforementioned pool team has been doing pretty well this shortened season. We've won six matches with at least double-digit wins, and only lost two matches. With two weeks left to go, we should be able to hold our overall place in the standings and be in the top eight, which allows us to host at least a first-round (maybe even a second round too) match during the playoffs to determine the league champion. And I do love my teammates; a great bunch of guys. A couple of weeks ago, the team we hosted included my old friend and teammate, Hugh. That's us in the photo.


While out for a walk after visiting Rainbow Grocery, we ran across this mural of the much beloved Sylvester, the disco queen from the late 1970s and early 1980s. He had some of the biggest disco hits during the height of the disco era. His two backup singers were big gals and had the nickname of "Two Tons of Fun" -- and fun they all were!

I hit a new low on the bathroom scale today: 134.4! My original goal was to lose 20 pounds and I've now exceeded that by a pound. Quite happy maintaining the weight in the 134-139 range. Anything under 140 brings a smile to my face.

Halloween is coming up -- his favorite holiday. We'll probably get dressed up again this year; last year was a wash what with COVID, we didn't do anything. He's been shopping for wigs already. He is a wig maniac.

 It's been almost six weeks since I published an article. How time flies! I had my 70th birthday on May 1. Went to a great lunch at my favorite restaurant (La Mediterranee) with Martin and David. They weren't doing inside dining yet, but we had a nice table on the sidewalk area they've set up for dining and the heater next to the table kept us toasty, as it was in the 50s and a bit windy which made it seem colder than it was. I've enclosed a photo of the three of us. The next exiting thing we did was go out to the movies again! In a real movie theater (IMAX no less). Saw "A Quiet Place, Part II" which was very exciting and we all enjoyed it. It was David's first "horror" movie and even he said afterwards that he liked it. With any luck, going to the movies again will become a regular occurrence. Had a trip to the DMV this morning, as we had an appointment to get his driver's license replaced as his was damaged. Even though it had broken in ha...

 THE RAIN HAS RETURNED Our governor Gavin Newsome recently declared that we are in a draught situation. What with the rain we are now getting, I think that may have been premature. The past 3-4 years have been very dry, with the rain we count on on during the winter months has not occurred. The past 24 hours have been very wet, which is welcome, but due to the fact that the rain is coming too quickly, flood conditions are happening all around the Bay Area. Our neighborhood has not experienced any flooding, which is fine with me. And we really do need the rain. Just bring in gradually, thank you very much. I've been watching the local news and too many areas are in bad shape. Let up with the rain, but keep it coming during the entire winter season please. On another subject altogether, I have a program on my computer that allows me to transfer cassette tapes (which I used to use to record music) into MP3 files, which I then transfer onto CDs (remember those?) and I have all my old m...

 MAYNARD MUNN and MILLARD SMITH Disclaimer: some of the following is quite racy in case you don't want to read the entire first paragraph. Maynard Munn was my uncle. I accidently found out recently that he passed away in June 2021. The photo above was a perfect photo for his obituary, as that is exactly how I remember him. He and Millard were together for as long as I knew him, and I recently turned 70, so I believe they were together for over 65 years at the minimum. In his obituary, they described Millard as his "longtime friend and business associate" -- I guess they still couldn't reconcile that they were in actuality, gay. In June of 1967, Uncle Main came up to Michigan to attend my older brother's graduation from high school. Mom pulled me aside and said I had a decision to make. He wanted to take me back to Jacksonville when he returned but if I chose that option, I would have to bypass taking driver's education classes that summer. Wasn't much of a...
