Well wouldn't you know it

The title has nothing to do with anything I would possibly write. And I will think of something to write. I suppose I could whine about the shaky situation at work. Not on me personally, though one must be careful. It has been a very tough week. Today I am off. I have a scheduled extra day off, not because I wanted it and not because the company is being real nice to me. Monday was a legal holiday in Ma. Veterans Day. If I worked I would have to be paid overtime. They don't like that. And Monday is my regular day off anyway. But I'll take the extra day off. It comes out of my vacation time and I have more than I can spend this year. Not too long ago I would take 6 or more weeks off a year. I got spoiled. Ah the good old days.

Now if you need a good laugh, and who doesn't, I suggest you watch this. It's a YouTube classic. It's been around for a while and you may have even seen it before. It's a couple of news anchors breaking into fits of laughter after a model falls off her shoes. Their laughing is infectious. I laugh every time I watch this.

When I had some down time in the last two weeks, I decided to put all the discs I have containing photos in better order than they were. Time to time I would load a disc containing pictures of a particular place. Soon I was picking out ones that I liked and then I had to put them in some kind of order. I had created some busy work for myself. I did it as a distraction and soon got caught up in it. And guess what? I made slide shows out of them. On second look at some of the pictures that I stitched together I saw some flaws in them. Maybe a blurry bit on a building or a tree. I'm better at it now but they don't always come out perfect.

Some I resurrected and or have used recently and some date anywhere from 2008-2012. Maybe even newer. It was a bit confusing at times but still fun to put together. B the way the little boy in the last post wearing the Red Sox cap, a big foam finger, clutching a World Series pennant in a stroller, is Arlene's grand nephew. It was taken when her niece took little Zachery to the parade a couple of weeks ago. I got the picture from Arlene not the Internet. Alright enough verbal babble, here are two of them.

 
 
  I've neglected my Blogger duties the last week so I have a bit of catching up to do. The sun is out and it will hit the 50's today, though I'm going nowhere. Loved the email Beth!
Time for me to saddle up and publish this puppy.

I'm outta here.

  1. I had to laugh at the idea of your childhood pet playing a few bars on the pi-anny at night. That got me laughing about as well as seeing that model going down. I usually never laugh at that sort of thing but it was so darned FUNNY to see. No wonder the anchors broke up!

  2. Great videos Paul! That was funny the model falling down. She should have taken the shoes off and carried them the rest of the way. The photos in your videos are great. I love that cactus flower in bloom. The colors in the last video are beautiful. I also liked the black and white snow scenes. Wonderful job!!
    I remember that cute little guy. He is precious.
