the two dollar do-it-yourself car wash

is now three dollars.

it’s not the cost

it’s the percentage of increase.

this is the new world.

probably an action taken from the old world.

set your gauge.

Can Gronk kick a field goal During the Superboowl?

 bet on it.

i imagine he has had professional assistance.


Gronk didn’t kick well. He missed. 

I don’t gamble and should never give advice.

Broken down winter weather

On and off all night.

Not sure of the hour

Regardless, I kept checking.

Twelve, one and two something.


 Finally woke to a collapsed winter.

Don’t want to call it that, however 

Looking around It seems like.

It’s warmer this morning;


But don’t think spring.

That would be a trick, over the top.

The morning chimes ring. The hours come and go per usual.

Patience will carry one through the night and days.

Had four or

 had four or five books going. 

not to confuse myself.

not in a big hurry, some are better than others.

always i’ll say. that’s why there’re favorites.


checking out one book takes time to know, to see the line.

the story line. The construction. How it is written.

non-fiction included.

then I noticed I began reading slower.


had to get out my Kindle as my eyes were going also.

a surprise to me book reading did so well, so long again

before the print became a strain.

I’m happy to plug Kindle in and go again

crusin’ down Reading River.

Best about the job

 Getting to the job was the best when I could time it.

I took my boat from its home slip in Sausalito,

cruised across San Francisco.Bay

to a dock in downtown the San Francisco.


There were completely open areas in front of a restaurant.

I asked the man there when I pulled alongside 

“Do you know who owns this dock? “


he repplied, “this is my restaurant so i Do.”

I could have searched for a month and never found him.

Instead I pulled up and there he was.


I don’t come over with my boat often

Could I tie up here for an hour or two a couple times a month?  All of san Francisco is spread out there. I record commercials in a studio that is in that building over there.

He said “sure” and that was that,


Had I gone the regular way I’d have to dock

about a half mile away at pier 39 and pay commercial docking rates, i don’t want to know how much that would cost.  

The man said I could tie up at his restaurant for no cost.


So now and then I came over on my boat from our home dock in Sausalito.

Docked here and walked across the street to The recording i

Ok When possible we timed it so Meri instead of taking a bus

could get a boat ride home after work.

Starting a new, full week

 We’ll see how crowded it will be.

The plans are for a medium gage of appointments.

Starting with exercise, light reading

And our new ideas.   so, we’ll see what develops.


Long before the corn grows and greens come in.

We’re looking ahead. Can you blame us?

Summer rains will begin.

Oh lovely. Pour on the new year.


We’ll find good cheer.

Taking a small step at a time.

here I am thinking of summer.

It’ll develop; a real hummer.
