Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy is Annoyed.
“Can I come up there, dad?” “Sure, Twiggy. Is something wrong?” “Not really wrong, per se. Just annoying.” “Tell me about it.” “I don’t know if there is a lot to tell. I’m just annoyed.” “Did Lucy do something?” “No, she is a great sister and is sound asleep on the sofa.” “Yeah, that’s where […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day, and last week, we learned that Carolyn is probably headed for the Chunnel to go into France. We also learned that she has papers for at least six identities, so the idea of intercepting her before the trip to France looks doubtful. Lazar did not tell anyone about Carolyn’s ability […]

Views of the Neighborhood – Halloween Part Three
Welcome to the third edition of the neighborhood tour of Halloween decorations. Today we have hickory smoked ham, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and pecan sticky buns. The drink today is Veuve Clicquot champagne served in Baccarat flutes. I have also been asked what kind of accommodations are on the bus. We have leather reclining chairs, […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Look Up a Word
It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. Linda Hill just walked in with a plain-looking envelope. My guess is she has this week’s prompt and doesn’t want the neighbors to know what’s in it. “Hi, Linda.” “John.” “This week’s prompt?” “Um, I guess it could be a hot pastrami sandwich, but you have […]
Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF
So nice to see Friday roll around again. I hope you are glad to see it too. It has been a pretty slow week around here. My big excitement was a virtual doctor visit and run to the local CVS drive-through. I mean, come on? How could life get any more exciting? The doctor visit […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy Outside
“Hey, Lucy. I thought we were going to lay out today.” “I’m doing just that.” I meant with lounges, dad fetching drinks, the radio, sunscreen, and gossip.” “Look around, Little One. We are dogs.” “So what. That doesn’t mean we can’t have fun too.” “Yeah, that’s true, but our fun is more basic.” “Whaddaya mean, […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week, we discovered Carolyn had left her dorm, and the two agents who were there to collect her had no idea where she went. We also learned that she has turned off her phone. The question was raised about the possibility of her throwing her phone away. […]

Top Ten Things Not to Do at The First ‘I Love Lucy’ in 1951
This week marks the 69th anniversary of the first ‘I Love Lucy’ show on CBS television. This post was inspired by fellow blogger, author, and history buff Susannah. We cannot miss the first show, so let’s get in James 56 Olds and go there. So that we don’t cause a tear in the time continuum, […]
