ever the mofoptimist!
Is who I am, a glass filled to the rim kinda guy! Whatever happens happens, but I do know who I must thank if there’s reason for giving thanks. Even if not, I’ll still thank her. It was great chatting with you today Harold, I’m holding out hope … high hope(s)! And I look forward to meeting you as well! See you bright and early tomorrow (Saturday) morning!

but something that was not meant to be is done
… and this is the start of what was
it’s the end of something I did not want to end beginning of hard times to come
… almost forgot the best part!!
Jennie proudly has this pic displayed, tacked next to her work station/sewing machine. From where I was sitting, looking at her while she worked on my jeans, it was as if I was staring at two Jennies – double vision Jennies, lol. I finally had to say something, she smiled contently knowing that I took this picture, and said that many people frequently comment on it … “my friend took it, he’s Canadian”, she tells them, lol!!
rich man, beggar man. and other life’s wisdoms.
I paid for parking ( I know, eh, lol?!), pulled up a stool. My pants were done in a matter of minutes; girl’s got some serious seamstress skills … but, she wasn’t finished with me yet, and continued talking (teaching) for a good 20 minutes, maybe half an hour as I sat with ears wide open soaking in her vast knowledge. Today’s central lesson revolved around a scripture she had been reading in the Bible – her husband stopped what he was doing and hurriedly rushed over with TheGoodBook in hand, quickly leafing through to find/show me the passage she was referring to. It’s a parable from The Gospel of Luke … the rich man and Lazarus … and while I’m not a religious man, it was wonderful listening to her passionately explain it to me in her broken English. When Jennie talks, I listen!!
… NOT SO
… NUTSO?? … Cuckoo Cuckoo!!
Thanks to a fellow Sherlock-ing loving-blogger for his (her?) enlightenment re: the absurd, cotton-picking-side-divisiveness of Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliance!
There’s plenty room for more than one BenCumBatch!!
… DAMN!! THAT shoulda been my blogpost, lol!
… and thanks to another Sherlock-er for this little tidbit about our hero.
Question: How many of you are aware of the character’s original intended name?
Answer: Sherrinford … Sherrinford Holmes.
Who’s the one that makes you happy?
Or maybe, who’s the one always on your mind?
And who is the reason you’re living for?
Who’s the reason for your smile?
Everyone needs somebody.
And you know, everybody needs someone.
Well and yes it’s true!
Everybody needs a special kind of love.
And you’re the only one I’m thinking of.
You mean the world to me.
You are my only!
It’s not whatcha got it’s what you give.
It ain’t the life you choose it’s the life you live.
It’s only what you give, only what you give, only what you give,
It’s not whatcha got, a but the life you live.
It’s the life you live.
Going crazy outta my head, going crazy,
Outta my head.

My fave selfie!! An oldie, but def STILL a goodie!

Pan-Roasted Chicken with Harissa Chickpeas – Bon Appétit.
Tiff found this in her Bon Appétit magazine … perfect for a wintry, cold Canadian day. And, I did my shopping yesterday ahead of the storm!
… and my kick-ass version
just wanna be myself
hey you said you would love to try some
hey you said you would love to die some
got to get away from here
got to get away from here
miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot
Crazy Cold!!
Minus 35 w/ windchill! It’s been like this for too many days! On top of it, I’m stuck sitting and waiting someplace I don’t wanna be. To make matters more depressing, RunKeeper hasn’t had a workout since December 7. And as I’m forced to be here (God is still trying to test/help me with my lack of patience. It isn’t working!), my mind wanders to the end of last year … honestly, I only wanted a coupla generic ibuprofen!
maybe just one more try
now I think it’s time that you let me know
so if you love me say you love me
but if you don’t just let me go
