Just getting in ... snuck

Just getting in ... snuck through the back so I wouldn't wake you. All you have to do is tell her to get down with a strong tone and a kiss - did I forget to tell you? Oops! And don't worry about spilling anything on the chair, there's a reason it's ugly. Then again, it's also old and worn; ugly has morphed into comfy, cozy and loveable. Ain't age grand?

Lovely haiku, dear friend. Gotta say that's a first here! Most folks just chat, laugh, fuss and rant once in awhile, but have up until now never taken the time to compose! I'm suitably impressed.

There's a stillness in the air. It's snaked into my heart as well, I'm terribly sad to say. I wish I had happy thoughts to lend to an unhappy evening. Will you mind terribly if I just say goodnight?

Hey?! Where is everybody?

In reply to I'm claiming the big blue

Hey?! Where is everybody? This dog is getting very heavy. And for cryin' out loud, don't you ever brush his teeth? I must have fallen asleep. Jeez, I only drank about a half of an Amstel Light before I nodded off ...Uh-oh ... I think I must have spilled the rest of the beer on the chair and the rug, Sorry. I must be drunk. Maybe I should go home. If I can just figure out a way to get this dog off of me. I can't reach my canes, Oh well, Maybe I'll just write a haiku while I'm waiting for the dog to move ...

tanka haiku:

Why is losing good?
It's an opportunity
to re-think your plans.

No defeat lasts forever,
no victory ends a quest.

Alright, I'm going to take a nap.

I'm claiming the big blue

In reply to Hiya, Dick! Happy E-Day!

I'm claiming the big blue chair, and yes, I brought some doggie treats. I have not had an alcoholic drink in almost 20 years, but I think tonight I may start back on the booze. Screw the drug interactions ... I also may eat all the doggie treats myself, but never mind that. That is between me and the dog.

Hiya, Dick! Happy E-Day!

Hiya, Dick! Happy E-Day! Turns out we'll be at a DFL watch party later tonight, so I'm counting on you for a rundown of all I'll miss from the talking head contingent. Nobody does it better, so keep your eyes on the prize and get ready for Hillary!

OH MISSY, HOW YA DOIN?

OH MISSY, HOW YA DOIN?

We shall meet a new world today (11/8).

A new world filled with wonder instead of trepidation!

It's so nice that you dropped

It's so nice that you dropped by! Don't worry about keeping the visit short since a long day awaits ... next time we'll catch up, okay? And about that blue chair and the faithful thing - funniest thing I've heard in forever! The only requirement for claiming that spot is that you can't mind wearing some dog fur home. It's a nice back yard, really, so if you need to suddenly rush go for it! You might have some company!

The next two days are going

The next two days are going to be long.
I have to work really hard tomorrow so i won't show up until Tuesday.
I will vote in a deeply blue State and wish I could send it out like a pigeon to another one.
Others more faithful than myself should claim the blue chair.
I will hover around the fridge and suddenly rush out to the back yard when things get uncertain.
But yes, let's keep it heart to heart.

Well, hey! Great to see ya!

In reply to Ahhh ... Thanks. I will.

Well, hey! Great to see ya! Feel free to stop by whenever you want, and you know friends are always welcome. Oh, and about Tuesday ... try not to worry too much (fingernails grow back). As others have said time and again - she's got this! What's that? Well naturally! Who in their right mind wouldn't vote??

Chips are probably stale. You-know-who never remembers to put the clip back on the bag. TCM? Couldn't survive being "mature" in this modern age without it. HA! Good to see you smile ...

Ahhh ... Thanks. I will.

Ahhh ... Thanks. I will. Brought my own ginger ale. You've changed the layout a bit since the last time I was here. Look's good. I like it. This is such a comfortable place. Would you mind if I brought a few friends with me on Tuesday night to watch the returns? I want to be with friends whenever the nation may go into retrograde. Meanwhile, where did you say you keep the chips? And do you get Turner Classic Movies?
