Greetings. As Ohio has received great weather for the past week, fires continue to rage in the west, and the southeast continues to be drenched. It’s been a strange summer for weather.
How was your weekend? Although we had two nights of dancing, the morning and afternoons were more about errands and preparing for an upcoming garage sale. Well, we also were able to get in 9 holes of golf.
The week ahead is exciting because besides being Lightning Welk Week, Thursday marks the return of Time: The Musical. The new act features songs with weekend, Saturday, Sunday, or the plural forms in the title. So, get your videos ready!
Daily celebrations include the following:
- (Mon) Aviation Day, Cupcake Day, and World Humanitarian Day
- (Tues) Without special occasions, a reminder that August features National Goat Cheese Month, Neurosurgery Outreach Month, and What Will Be Your Legacy Month
- (Wed) National Medical Dosimetrists Day, Poet’s Day, and Senior Citizens Day
- (Thurs) Southern Hemisphere Hoodie Hoo Day and Be An Angel Day
Friday I mentioned the passing of Elyse’s beloved Cooper, so let’s have a dog chuckle for your Monday Morning Entertainment. I imagine Cooper had a persistent streak, but I just can’t see Elyse letting him fall for this. Nonetheless, dog owners will enjoy this.
Have a good week!
A Frank Angle 
Frank, that was funny. I don’t recall Cooper ever interacting with a statue. Goliath? Oh yeah! Thanks! Glad you had such a nice weekend.
And I love being ahead of the crowd on these musical interludes you have. Because I posted my weekend choice well in advance of your call. Damn, I’m good.

The only thing that would have made the fetch-a-stick video better would be for the dog to pee on his leg at the end.
I’m off to a platelet donation this morning at the university blood bank. And, Wednesday it will hit 90˚. First time in weeks. Of course, that is also the first day of school around here. It seems to always work that way. I’m glad I am retired and don’t need to be concerned.

Thanks for reminding me that today is “Aviation Day.” The Wright Brothers are among my all-time heroes for inventing the airplane. To achieve that feat they had to invent: (1) the mathematical formula required to build a wing that could produce “lift,” (2) the control theory and mechanisms required to produce “wing warping” (which led to the invention of ailerons and flaps), (3) the airplane propeller, which they heartbreakingly discovered (they almost gave up because of this) required totally different performance requirements compared to the propeller screw of a ship, and (4) the wind tunnel, which allowed the Wright Brothers to stay alive while they tested the machine at Huffman Prairie near Dayton, OH, which eventually led to a practical flying machine.
