I was rooting for the TV to be off when I went to a
tavern. Hard to find when Strasberg, being a San Diego
boy, made the Nationals the de facto home team.
The alternative was the Padres, so....
Well, the Padres are basically nobody's home team.
I have a mild preference that someone had compensated
me for it, though.
Yeahwell.
My life has not been money-centered, but it's getting to the
point where a bit of pennypinching is in order, and regrets
about some things like that begin to grate.
All those Mercedes car payments? :-)
Something like. I was once briefly smitten by a
girl who wanted a Miata, and I looked into it and
decided that I could with a certain amount of
sacrifice actually afford to buy her one (she had
a Sebring convertible, not sporty enough for her),
but I thought on it and being stuck with her for
eternity and decided that grinding out a life as
concertmaster of a dull midwestern orchestra and
covering up for the fact she was a fairly mediocre
musician, nah, not a good idea, and ended up going
out with a woman who could buy her own Miata.
I don't know why this paragraph made me think of
the following poem, of which I am fond, but it did:
Preacher Benjamin, despite adversity
Saved a Southern university.
Said his nephew, Ain't that nice,"
Uncle Ben's converted Rice!" - source unknown
Those two or three grams in a band or a cap are enough if you're
a Brit.
As I recall the one with a couple grams doesn't have a
silversmith mark, though the wood is maker-stamped at
the frog.
Darned tootin'. She says, being lucky to find an ocarina at rummage
sales around here, never mind good instruments.
I had an ocarina once - wonder where it went.
You're an older fiddle yet - positively Renaissance-era. I'm
more recent but shop-worn.
As fiedels and rebecs were not so highly strung, perhaps
not quite so cracked, though.
Unless like lutes, they were forever in need of tuning.
(actually, old and cracked and out of tune ... sounds about right!)
Being lower strung, they were easier to tune, but I'm
not sure I would have had the guts to do so anyway.
I hope you draw the line somewhere short of Swarovski.
I have one, but it's a cat. I have no problem selling them to
someone who actually likes them, but I'm only keeping the cat.
I had only the violin, but I think it went to Goodwill.
Not a bad place for them.
How much would I have gotten, 10 or 20 bucks?
I looked at the Avengers and the Addams Family, because I
thought Carolyn Jones and Diana Rigg were hot. Gunsmoke,
I'm surprised you didn't go for Yvonne DeCarlo too. I always loved
the way Gomez and Morticia were all lovey-dovey.
Yvonne was cute as well, but I didn't much care for the
Munsters.
on accoumt of Miss Kitty, though I didn't care for loud
nouses, of which there were many. Not much else. Huntley
and Brinkley or Cronkite once in a while, when the Russians
or Americans were getting weird.
I've seen David Brinkley a few times on PBS. Not on my hot scale for
sure, but a good news guy.
He was not on my hot scale, either. I mean, those ears.
