How’s your week going so far? The long weekend helped put my blogging endeavors behind schedule. Then there is the continually challenges at the new address. Oh well … stuff happens.
After a delightful weekend, high humidity has arrived. YUK! I hate it … but it’s still better than this past winter. Meanwhile, my golf game is steady, plus handbell season ends in two weeks.
Dive into the extra challenge by using the words in the headlines below to form your own original headline. ‘My Combo” is at the end. Have a good rest of the week.

I’ve never played golf before, I fish to compensate. On occasion I even put the line in the water.

The closest I come to fishing is when I drive by a Long John Silvers … then again, I know many who find fishing as a wonderful R&R experience.

I did not realise that handbelling [?] came seasonally Frank. Is there a technical reason for this or is it purely seasonal?

Strictly a seasonal thing for our group …. thus take summer off. Typically, we are normally done by now, but an upcoming special event extended our schedule.

Handbell season…now I understand. In the fog of the morning, I read it as handball season. I didn’t remember you ever mentioned playing that game. Golf, yes.

Thanks for the morning chuckle. Last night I played OK (+5 with a double bogey) … but as you know, when handicapping, there’s nothing you can do when one gives strokes and that opponent is playing better than their handicap.

I’m going out after lunch for 9. I will be taking the gnat spray. Nasty things are a bother. Your +5 sounds like things were going ok.

I was steady last night, thus only botched one hole … but I came back with a tough par on the next hole. Good luck today!

I love this weather and hopes it continues into the weekend since we have booked a backcountry camping trip in Algonquin Provincial Park. We will canoe, portage, canoe, then hopefully avoid three more portages by canoeing up three streams.

I just spent five minutes trying to come up with a funny combination but couldn’t. Guess I’m too stressed about my upcoming massage to be creative (it’s in an hour). This might just be an introvert’s worst nightmare.

I’m assuming the massage is the introvert’s nightmare, because I know creativity is within you. Try to relax …. at least try!!!!

I didn’t want to discourage you but the new address challenges keep coming for a while and while you’re in the hyper energy in the first days of the move [thus getting things done almost on auto pilot] after a while fatigue hits and everything starts moving in slow motion! Patience!
And here’s my rather complicated contribution: “Brutally honest tiger, a leading authority in NASA, says James Cameron dropped poor people’s grocery cart four feet away from his lap, anxious he might be forgotten.”

It’s been two months and it doesn’t want to end, thus the length of time has surprised me … but I also know the end will come … well, sometime. 🙂
James Cameron seems to be popular in this post … so much so that NASA is investigating him! … and cheers to you for incorporating so much!
