I need to go back to work so I can have a rest. A couple of hours in a semi dark booth pushing a few buttons on command from a Stage Manager would be quite restful just now. It is catch-up time after a very busy Summer. I am repainting the inside of my house, building a deck at my Mum &Dad's (well supervising and reassuring the old folks that they have not hired a cowboy builder.) Next week a new gas fireplace goes in their front room. ( And much reassurance that it will not explode and burn the house down) I have a story about a house fire just before Christmas and my favourite "Linus" blanket having been left behind during the harrowing second floor escape to safety. It survived as obviously, so did I. I finally bought a TV combo for my "old" friend in the nursing home. He was absolutely delighted and immediately asked me to smuggle him some porn into the old folks home. I did, no further comment. The yard clean-up has finished just in time to put up the X-mas lights, that would be times two of course. Oh and there is the little matter of the election I am running in next month. Yes, I need my head examined, as I fear I shall win and after 25 years of assiduously casting comments from the peanut gallery and avoiding any office. My number seems to be up. I am (probably) about to become union boss. Yikes! what next, A new Cadillac and an old stogie....Bill  ¶ 17:32

  Surprise!

This blog is not dead. Although I find it hard to believe that it is November now and it has been; May since I have last posted. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since May, I have not posted primarily because of the lack of time to do so and that most of the stuff going on has not been suitable for posting. Those in my immediate sphere will understand the responsibilities I have both now and in the future coming up. However it is Winter now and I hope I have a little more time to resume more regular posting in this my public / private talking shop of news, views and muse….Bill  ¶ 13:59
