Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...

hey, what happened to the humor?

Today is the 3rd day of the 48th week, the 29th day of the 11th month, the 334th day of 2016, and: 
  • Customer is Wrong Day
  • Electronic Greeting Card Day
  • Giving Tuesday
  • International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People --  because in 2012 the United Nations General Assembly voted to accord non-member observer state to Palestine.
  • National Chocolates Day
  • National Lemon Creme Pie Day
  • National Square Dance Day
  • Square Dancing Day
  • Throw Out Your Leftovers Day
ON THIS DAY:  In 561 King Chlothar I died at Compiègne; the Merovingian dynasty is continued by his four sons, Charibert I, Guntram, Sigebert I and Chilperic I, who divided the Frankish Kingdom.  In 1777 San Jose, California, is founded as Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe by José Joaquín Moraga.  In 1877 Thomas Edison demonstrated his phonograph for the first time.  In 1944 the first surgery (on a human) to correct blue baby syndrome was performed by Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas.   In 1961 Enos the chimp was launched from Cape Canaveral aboard the Mercury-Atlas 5 spacecraft, which orbited Earth twice before returning.

 

When you think about blogging, you envision yourself making a series of witty remarks on some small aspect of life that will immediately resonate with your extensive, eclectic gathering of interested readers.  After all, you have learned that every person sees the world from their own perspective and it is all but impossible to see the world from another point of view [since telepathy seems not to be a thing].  You have decided that it is perspective that trumps truth every time, and that by sharing your point of view and perspective, you will open a window that others will be happy to gaze through..  And some days, you do have something to say, which may or may not be pertinent, may or may not be profound, may or may not be physagogue  [yeah not the word that I was thinking of, but too good to pass up – beats piddle, neh?].   But then there are other days when there just doesn’t seem to be a lot to say.  I think those days happen to every writer – professional, casual, intermittent – on a regular basis, just the really talented ones know stories that soar on past and just keep going, even when the narrative is their own.

Today I was going to write about my eye doctor visit yesterday –  but somehow, I couldn’t make the story funny.  I found out I needed new glasses and that although I am developing cataracts [and have been for about four years], they are still tiny.  I learned all about how my eyes were aging.   This looks pretty much like the image of my eye the doc showed me – it is a floater that gets in the way now and the and has to be shifted by blinking or rolling my eyes. 

 

 Come on, there has to be some humor in being told that you are medically average and boring, right?
