That is so cheesy!!
Another day has foisted itself upon us, and we will weather the storm.
But first, we must go to the gym and get our bodies moving again after four days of straight dancing! The hot tub yesterday helped, but now the professional pain-givers step in and twist the muscles back into shape – round is a shape.
Immediately after the gym, we went VFR to the post office to give Uncle Sam a bunch of money for the US Treasury to waste on useless programs. To recover the money, Mary and I just opened a Somali Lernin’ Center and filed for free money from the good old USA.
My Valentine’s Day flag has yet to arrive. The last US flag and the Valentine’s Day flags bit the dust in the wind. The ends fray, and you can hear the flags whipping in the strong breeze. So, we replaced the US flag (we keep spares) and are now flying the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag, commonly known as the Gadsden flag.
We stayed home today, and Mary attacked the office bookshelf with a vengeance. I carried out two boxes of books to the van, Mary rearranged many books into a proper order, and I worked on the website, getting St Patrick’s Day 2025 fixed up!
Everything is in subject matter order, and we have a lot of room now. Mary is now the chief librarian.
Tomorrow we will go back to work, finish off the books, and then attack the closet. I have decided I do NOT need 50 pairs of pants, 60 T-shirts, and 25 pairs of shoes!
We had a nice dinner of leftovers, which was wonderful because we could now see the back of the refrigerator and go back to cooking.
We settled in and watched some TV, though Mary’s need to check for light leaks made her nod off quickly. I watched “The Final Countdown”.
Did You Know? The Final Countdown (1980) is a sci-fi/war film where the modern USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and its crew are mysteriously sent back in time to December 6, 1941, just before the attack on Pearl Harbor, forcing them to confront the dilemma of altering history. Starring Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, and Katharine Ross, it features stunning aerial action and authentic Navy operations as the crew debates whether to interfere with the past.
The love of Sam Elliott’s life is his wife, actress Katharine Ross, whom he met on the set of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, reconnected with on The Legacy, and married in 1984; they have remained a devoted couple for decades, often cited as a rare, lasting Hollywood love story.
