How was your weekend? Come on now, time to fess up and tell!
We got some ballroom time. My sister-in-law was in town, but since I was fighting a cold, I stayed home and watched President’s Cup golf and football. One of my favorite college teams continues to do well while the other is going in an unexpected downward direction.
Cincinnati received almost 4 inches (10 cm) of rain since Saturday evening. Meanwhile, as we transition into another season, that means I’ll be attacking leaves for the next 6-8 weeks.
Frappe, pierogies, angel food cake, desserts, fluffernutters, and teddy bears give some of the reasons to celebrate this week, so get your calendar.
- (Week) Metric Week, Fire Prevention Week, Mental Illness Awareness Week, Mystery Series Week, Carry a Tune Week, Nuclear Medicine Week, Customer Service Week, Fall Astronomy Week, World Rainforest Week, Organize Your Files Week
- (Mon) You Matter to Me Day, Frappe Day
- (Tues) Face Your Fears Day, Pierogy Day, Fluffernutter Day
- (Wed) Top Spinning Day, Emergency Nurses Day, Bring Your Teddy Bear to Work Day, Chess Day, Dessert Day (Yes!!!)
- (Thurs) Sight Day, Angel Food Cake Day, Coming Out Day
Enjoy the warped humor of Monty Python to start your week. Have a safe week!

A good weekend.
Saturday I went to a honey harvest.
Today was a kick back kind of day.
I always love how you remind us of things to celebrate!
I would take a Teddy Bear to work on Wed – but – I’m taking that day off to go on a field trip with one of my daughters.
Oh my gosh on the video – HILARIOUS!
Have a great week 🙂

I miss Monty. I used to be at Fermilab near Chicago in the summers with their education office. The physicists would often gather for lunch on Mondays and laugh about the episode of Monty Python that weekend. They were funny retelling in their fake british accents.
We got some rain, too. And, I enjoyed watching the golfers dodging raindrops. They had a rough competition with the nasty weather. The balls were bouncing much on the green. SPLAT!!!
Thursday, we might have some angel food cake. It is our 32nd anniversary.

The golfers were firing at the pin! We’re a bit less than 2 hours southwest of the course, and we didn’t get the rain they received during Saturday’s round. … but they were drier on Sunday than people at the Bengals game.

Is a Metric Week the same length as a regular week?
Sunday was the day of unveiling my mothers tombstone, and Friday there was a dinner at the synagogue in her memory, so I had waaay too much family this weekend, but they were beautiful events.
Saturday my girl and I went to a carved pumpkin display that was mindblowing.
Among other impressive carvings were a Mona Lisa, a Persistence of Memory, and the Solar System.
Truly, impressive carving.

All in all a good weekend here on the edge of the Ozarks. An inch of rain to start followed by wonderful cool, clear air behind the front. On Saturday, an exercise in exercise (at the Y). On Sunday, an exercise in deferred gratification at Babe’s Drive In – BLT’s with lean bacon, grilled in butter, only one per each. Sigh. Sunday night, catching up on Dexter via DVD.
Thanks, by the way, Frank, for the Monty Python reminder that no matter how bad things get, they were once oh so much worse. 🙂

It was a quiet weekend. We did find out that a battle we got sucked into over a dog’s welfare had been put to rest, with the dog staying in his adoptive home – a VERY good thing. Other than that, not much else – some leaf clearing, with more to come.
Get yourself better!
