The longest thread ever

My husband could dunk back in the day.

My athletic claim to fame was running a quarter mile in under a minute. I could do Russian jumps too (jump up and touch my toes).

I am now laying here wondering if I can still do those Russian toe touches. Something tells me I am going to stupidly attempt one tomorrow. The regret is already building.

Yep. I am going to pre-dial 9-1 so all I have to do is hit 1 again and press send when the "unpleasantness" happens.

First day of the new job. I shall don my best sweatpants and watch the Wolf of Wall Street clip where McConaughey beats his chest before my onboarding meeting so that I am mentally prepared.

And then I’m “going” to a 2-day virtual conference. I like to play with my dog on virtual conferences so that’s nice. I also think I get to see Al Gore’s house if the onboarding meetings don’t interfere with the keynote zoom. Maybe he’ll have the same problem that BBC interviewee had but it’ll be bio-plastic. He better be bearded though.

My brush with political royalty was when I lectured in Maine (we all thought each other talked funny) and Barbara Bush sat in on about 5 minutes of my talk.

I high fived GHWB when he came to the AFB in Texas I lived on for a few years in the 80s.

Was working for a bi-partisan lobby shop in 2004 when Bush was re-elected. Boss was a former GHWB staffer and had tickets for the area where the POTUS and VP walk to WH Had an uncomfortably long and close eye lock with Cheney. It’s like he knew what I was thinking, which was not very kind to Cheney.

Fantastic! I did not share my voting history with her. I did find her to be regal.

Thanks much!

If I post frequently today, you’ll know it’s going well...😂

At Humane Society with two kittens I trapped last night. Lousy pictures as well it was dark out and I was focused on the transport.

My wife was working admin in a restaurant many years ago and sent me an email (textong wasn't really a thing) telling me how ridiculous it was that this one guy looked just like H. Ross Perot.

You can guess how the story ends.

should have our first maple sap run in the next day or two...but Sugarhouse Weekend is a no go again this year (for those of you planning to attend), second consecutive cancellation...no meatballs in maple sauce, no sugar on snow.

Gerald Ford almost ran me over in a golf cart.

I'll go out in the driveway and try one for you. I already know I can still do cartwheels and I know how to properly warm up to attempt such a thing. I'll get back to you. If I can't do it, you can assume that you can't either.

But not today, the high is only in the 20s today. We're supposed to get up into the 50s maybe even 60s by the end of the week.

You are awesome. Kittens are lucky to have you find them.

Is your middle name Milhouse?

You would think working at Harvard all these years (and meeting multiple Nobel Prize winners), that I'd have a good story or two about politicians I have met, but, no, not really although I did shake Joe Kennedy's hand at a parade one time when he was my Representative.

decades I took my dog for a walk on a leash on a dark night, was surprised to suddenly find a large cat directly under her, was more surprised when it turned out to be a skunk. Ugly situation.

This both made me laugh out loud and pissed me off some. That means it was a great post.
