Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living [in bed].
Cicero

So dreams? This one kinda confuses me.

In some person news, my month of moving is now done. Got the kids both moved into their new places at school at the beginning of the month and then got my dad into a retirement home last week. I figured that with my dad having movers and having nothing else to do, that it would be an easier move, but nope. Basically a lot of “Dad, you don’t need to cook anymore, there’s no need for a salad spinner. ” but replace “salad spinner” with a zillion other things that he’s managed to hoard collect over the years. We’ve been getting groceries for my dad since Covid started, and not once in that time has any lettuce or salad been requested. Nor has anyone been there except me, so you don’t need 12 place settings, so no need for any of those things or many many many others. 

I also got out for some golf on the weekend.  Twas a nice day, around 22C, sunny and a light breeze, so made for golf.  My score is nothing to ever show anyone, but better than last time.  I even managed a boogie.  Which makes me think that I should prob get some clubs for my and not use the ones my dad gave to me. 

As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

Also, hello folks, how’re you all doing this lazy* Monday doing?
*All meetings (side-gig and main job alike) got postponed until at least Wednesday an’ there’s nothing really to do (well, not true, but I really don’t want to do touristy shit in DC today) and I’m growing kinda… loopy from the inactivity, lol. Yes, I wasn’t at all kidding that I envy Hippo’s ability to unwind and relax.

I’m not saying that I’ve been trying to find a “how-to” on removing the VIN from, say, an F-35 that I found discarded in a ditch and then also finding a body shop that can fix it up and give it a new coat of paint.

I’m also not not saying that’s what I’m doing.

Weather at home looks glorious. Highs averaging 72, lows on the mid 60’s.

Alright. I’m heading home tomorrow early.

Maybe one more pork sandwich?

Hmm. According to Florio, Deshaun is pissed about “whatever opposing players are saying to him in close quarters about his off-field issues. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-will-evaluate-and-discuss-all-plays-involving-deshaun-watson-infractions-on-tuesday” & “Something got under his skin last night, and it stayed there. Future opponents will surely try to replicate that, each and every week, until he shows that it’s not frustrating him.”

“Hey, it could be worse, the US Military could have lost a submarine armed with nuclear missiles, equipped with a new, almost undetectable propulsion system, and with the crew trying to defect to a opposing world power.”

Hmmm. Might be a good idea for a book. Perhaps even a movie starring….

Just got back from an amazing hike around Cap Carteret in Normandy. There were some driving winds and rain towards the end, which both served to create some pretty dramatic views and to make my hot shower afterwards almost as good as the hike!
Kinda want to move to Normandy now, I like this weather and they have twice as many cows as people so delicious butter and cheese as well as the seafood.

My son just gave my wife a request for a sandwich, it was so complicated that a deli owner would have shot him. Of course my wife made it for him. I ask for dinner, she throws a dried out pork chop on the floor.

What the Hell!?!?!?! How many Cowboys died today at practice? Did they really need to go that hard at practice for the Cards?

Other than the lady who probably died after dinner it’s been a fantastic birthday, and even that’s not awful since just dropping dead suddenly after enjoying a nice dinner is a pretty good way to go.

Ate a lot of great food and drank a lot of yummy things today including Cancale oysters, Breton cider, a blackberry and gin drink, and like 4 different types of cake. Also got a massage and watched a disco party. Going to sleep now, more hiking tomorrow

Just got back from the Grace Potter show. As requested I went up to Ms. Potter and said “Son of Spam says hi.”

Security immediately grabbed me, beat about the head and neck, stapled a restraining order to my buttocks, and tossed me into the river. So that went well.

Also they had two working bathrooms in the place. The line for the women’s room was long enough to satisfy Deanna Favre, while the men’s room was pretty much open as needed. Mrs. Horatio and friend go to the bathroom.

Later, after she’s rejoined me in the crowd, women keep coming up to her, thanking her, offering to buy her drinks, (she does not drink, although I was willing to take the drinks), and I am wondering what the hell she’s done now. It turns out she stood in front of the men’s room and started directing the line, making the men alternate with women and getting the women’s line down to nothing within the first two songs before finally leaving. One girl asked her how she could do that and Mrs. Horatio looked at her and said “I’m a Mom. This is nothing.”
Horatio Cornblower

She’s a keeper!

Also, should have warned you…don’t say “hi” because that means I’ve rejected her. If you said “He says what’s up” you probably woulda been blown.
SonOfSpam

She’s so far out of my league it’s not even funny. She doesn’t drink now. Thank Xenu she did that night we met.
Horatio Cornblower

The night we met, my wife brought a pitcher over to our table (was with a buddy), and said “Looks like you could use this” and yeah, I was smitten.

Bad Parenting Update:

The youngest has embraced the Country and Western music. Not the crossover ‘poppy’ stuff but the testosterone-y, shit-kicking kind. I should have seen it coming when he put a sticker on the back window of his truck that said “I Like Boobies”. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, figuring he was doing it ironically but, nope.
scotchnaut

So he likes both kinds of music?

One of my best memories from the Portugal trip was at the craft beer metal bar with Dok.

This middle aged couple with an odd accent walked up to us to discuss our travel.

Dok steps up and says “I’ve got this. They’re Finns. They’re different.”

I defer.

They were different and they wanted to know where I got that delicious pork sandwich.

I’ll defer to Dok on any questionable travel situations.
It’s the safest bet.
yeah right

She’s been to Hel(sinki) and back

As Sunday Gravey has seamlessly flowed into Sunday Football, as was foretold by the gawds… I will give the second to last garden update, for the folks who have been following. The final will be when I harvest the last of the veggies. I am making peperonata again today. I am almost out of eggplant and tomatoes. The peppers are still producing as is the basil and celery. Cabbage is done and I did a second planting of zucchini which is flowering now, that first planting ran out last month. It was 2 bucks for another 4 zucchini plants. A decent year produce from July through September. Based on today’s produce prices my 80 dollar investment has probably saved me 300 dollars. Supermarket prices were up a bit this year.

I’ll admit it: the first two games this season had lured me into believing that the Cowboys were legitimate. Then today reality came crashing down hard. An offensive line that never stays healthy. An undisciplined team committing 13 penalties. Mike McCarthy, needing two TDs and with less than five minutes left, gets his team into the red zone and calls 5 straight running plays. When Dak finally gets to throw he zips a pass into triple coverage that I see coming, with the resulting interception nothing if not predictable.

Also Arsenal completely bottled the game against Tottenham, although at least I could also laugh at Tottenham for their mistakes.

Also I found a really good pizza place, so all in all this day gets a check+
