Paris #5
It was what Ili called our "Cafe Day." We began with breakfast at Cafe Flore, famous as a bohemian haunt. We were lucky to get there early as we were able to walk in and get a table. In just a few...

The Children's Pride Parade
Here is a few of my crowd shots from the Paris Techno 2019 parade. I went to a party of "woke" people Saturday night, and I tried to kid them that I got caught up in the Children's Pride Parade...

The Awful Tower
And then. . . the disaster. We decided to take the metro to the Eiffel Tower that night. Easy. We crossed the bridge and got onto the M1. The only problem was that it was the wrong M1. There is one on...

Paris #6
So. . . not everyone gets a kick out of my Paris narrative. Too this, too that. O.K. It will be over soon. And I won't puke in any more of the posts. Sunday was a rainy day in Paris with a long...

Paris #7
Our last full day in Paris, we decided to chill, walk the streets, eat, drink, and buy presents. I couldn’t get out of bed until nine-thirty. We putzed around and had coffee, but I was definitely...

Paris #8
After shopping and eating on the Left Bank, we came home. But not home, now. Our minds were preparing for the trip back the next day. Last evenings all have the same tone, the same meter.We slept...

Phase 1
And so, the factory whistle blows again. Ha! Except, I need not answer, for you see, I have more vacation time than work days left until my retirement is official. I go. . . on occasion. I still...

Underground Man
Back to the factory again today. I'm in between worlds. Early morning meeting today. I will go, but I am barely included now except for the occasional joke. There are serious issues of which I will...

Everybody Would Do It
First of all, I need to tell you/remind you that I cannot respond to any comments. I can't even post comments on other blogs. I don't know what is wrong, but I can't seem to log in to Google, either....

Nothing(ness)
Where was I? Oh, yea. . . just bumping around. Soon, though, I will find my footing. I thought about options yesterday, things of which I am capable. Of which I hope I'm capable, anyway. Or I can...

Lazy
A big, rainy day here, a day for staying in bed. Which I did. A day for a big breakfast, which I will have. Eventually. Now, however, I simply linger over coffee and sweet bread while reading and...

The Distance
Last night, we watched the 1974 Martin Scorsese film, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore." I had never seen it. We both enjoyed the film, but I was a junior in college when it came out and Ili was still...

Enough
There are enough pictures now. There are plenty, and more will be made today than were made in the world from the invention of photography until 1964. I made that up, but I'll bet it is close to being...

One More Stain
I liked my buddy CC's comment on yesterday's post quoting Beckett--"One more stain upon the silence." I guess all human efforts are a kind of blight. I'll quote Beckett, too. "I can't go on. I'll go...

Binary Couple
I snuck a picture with humans in it in Paris. Didn't turn out well, but I don't have much else other than family snapshots. It is nice enough, lovers kissing, an old alleyway, pretty colors, etc....

Big Lazy
I'm out of pictures. And work still has me by the throat. I am spending money on tree trimming today, and the roof leaked once again. I still have to sign up for Social Security and may have fucked...

A Tale Too Large
The tree people are still here. And they will be next week, too. Holy smokes! I've not even asked how much this will cost. Ili called them to do a few simple things, then I agreed with the owner to...

I Wonder
The tree guys didn't finish yesterday. They will be back next week. I've had many workers here in the last few months. I couldn't do it. I whine all the time about work, but I don't know what work...

Happy
My buddy, Q, got married, I think. I can't quite make out what he is saying in his latest post (link). Everyone was grateful to him. He made people happy. I don't know why he had to deride me,...

Who Doesn't Like That?
I swear, pictures are coming. Old ones. I've spent days now going through them. Not actually "going through," but putting them into files and folders. And I have a confession to make--I've been a...
