You may have noticed that I’ve been goofing off too much lately to keep up with the posting of my weekly “blobs”. I’m chalking it up to my advancing senility, too much partying, and to my overall shiftlessness. But just in time for the holidays, daughter Susy wrote something that reminded me of how much I like words. Written or spoken, some are treasures, especially when they can be shared....

Was just reading on the internet that a warm and cozy way to entertain your holiday guests is by roasting chestnuts on an open fire, and I would, but - lacking a fireplace - a bonfire in the middle of the living room could put the carpeting in real jeopardy. Actually, we don’t have any carpeting, or any chestnuts. We DO have matches and smoke alarms, however, and they hate each other....

I’m happy to let you know that my great great nephew AJ Fitzpatrick DID IT! Last Saturday, he won the Gold Medal at the Parapan Games in Santiago, Chile. And the rest of his USA Wheelchair Basketball team did nicely, too! Congratulations to every one of those 12 USA champion athletes and their support team. Here they are receiving the gold medals....

I don’t have time to write much today because I’m too busy tearing my hair out trying to teach the folks in Santiago, Chile how to tell time. They don’t seem to understand that their clocks are running 5 hours faster than they should be. I can’t understand why they can’t fix such a simple-to-correct problem. As an example, right now, my clock clearly says that the correct Pacific Standard Time is 2:15 AM Sunday, November 19, 2023....

It was all carefully planned: the perfect hostess gift we can present to any guests who visit us during the holidays. A lovely basket or bag of our delicious English walnuts. Martha Stewart, eatcherheartout! In one of the pastures here on Kartar Ridge Ranch, there dwells what may be the world’s most beautiful and graceful English Walnut tree (Juglans regia…...

Just like having a social security number, or a DNA, or fingerprints, or the stain of original sin, is everybody required to be the author of one of those “bucket lists”? Octo-woman has been reading about it and has learned that such a list is supposed to be a compilation of exciting or challenging activities that one hopes to experience before one kicks one’s proverbial “bucket”....

Our dahlias had a kind of Halloween party this weekend. Till Thursday, all our dahlias were bursting with good health and blooms of every color. This is how a few of them looked on Thursday afternoon. Susy was still bringing in armfuls of their blossoms every day. On the evening news, we heard that we’d be having our first frost that night....

It’s been quiet here at Kartar Ridge Ranch as we are settling back to our normal routine following our recent upheavals with son Matthew’s health, and my untimely Covid affliction. Maybe things will be getting back to normal, now, Only one problem. Now that I have won a missing pink stripe on the Covid test signifying that I am no longer infectious, I did the cooking tonight....

I became a Covid victim this week. The timing was exceedingly unfriendly. And if anybody ever qualified for a guilt trip, it’d have to be me. Last week, son Matthew’s peritoneal dialysis failed. After urgent phone calls, medical tests, exams, corrective surgery, and a total of four days without effective dialysis, we spent the weekend agonizing - while waiting to learn what the doctors would decide....

I was going to skip writing a blob this week because I have been concentrating my spare time instead on trying to improve my sight-reading at the piano. Here’s the problem: sight-reading piano music is like being at a public swimming pool trying to keep an eye on 2 toddlers, a 5 year-old with gum in his hair, a 6 month-old Boxer puppy, and his adult mother who’s leashed-but-in-heat, when a guy with an ice cream cart - obviously a deranged pe*****le - comes by and yells that he is offering all the free neon colored freeze-pops they can eat as long as they can meet him over there at the deep end near the men’s restroom....

Just checking in to see if you’re applying yourself to the 10,000x principle Octo-woman challenged you to in blob To remind you, in Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers: the Story of Success”, the author’s principle states that in order to become world class in any field, you would need 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. As for me, I’m still creeping along on my piano practice at 2 hours/day, - am now at 2,944 hours total....

I only own two pairs of shoes. Both are the same brand, style, size, and color: namely, Reebok Princess style, black, size 8. They’re made of “synthetic leather”, also known more familiarly as some kind of plastic. I wear the more battered pair for “everyday”. The newer pair is hauled out whenever I need to attend a state occasion such as a trip to the doctor, dentist, a wedding, a funeral, or whenever I’m invited to have tea with the Pope....
