Watching the home opener on the rabbit-eared tv. but from where I am sitting in the Old Bat Cave – I think I see rain rolling by. It was seriously stormy this morning. The boss brought me home. Completely unnecessary – but greatly appreciated. I didn’t even mind doing the treadmill to log some miles. It is raining at the ballpark now. Rain and wind. Not fun.
Note to Carlton: The sports update – you would still recognize all the leading tennis players. At least I remember the names from when you watched. And you would remember the golfers. Gray Player at 80+ made a hole-in-one during a practice round at at Augusta the other day. They just stopped play – score tied in the 2nd. The Nats are 2 and 0 this season. You were never a fan of basketball – but the NCAA championship game was great. (Not as great as 50 years ago, when my college won). And, on to our favorite sport – politics. You would recognize Hillary. But none of the other contenders. Actually you would recognize The Donald. But, you wouldn’t believe that he is making a “serious” run for the Republican nomination.
The other day, a lady got on the elevator with a HUGE load of luggage. I make some smartass comment along the lines of “Are you making a run for it”. Well, it seems that the lady was heading off for a month in Kenya. She will be speaking about Quakerism. I wondered aloud if there was much demand for that. Apparently 40% of the Quakers on the planet live in East Africa. Who knew? This isn’t my mother’s old folks home.
The much anticipated (???) annual asylum talent show is tonight. I wasn’t planning on attending but decided that I should. And, who knows. It might be better than I anticipate. We have our share of “famous” residents. But none that I know of are “famous” entertainers. And, the musical tastes of the inmates would have made my parents happy.
Perfect Kona. Got the ocean, the dogs, the keiki, the swimmers, the paddlers … And palm trees.
