The Dolly + The David

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

***

 

It is understatement

to call this interview

"brilliant"

 

My 

favorite moment

is

when Dolly 

acknowledges

HANK WILLIAMS

as the 

"Godfather of Country Music"

and 

its' greatest poet

 

David

—of course—

agrees

BUT

makes a mistake

when he says

Hank died

at age 27

[he was 29]

 

It would have been 

beneath 

Dolly's Dignity

to have corrected 

him

HER Passage Into Heaven ... In Black + White

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

HER 

passage 

through

the 

Gates of Heaven

is 

a stunningly easy

thing

to 

visualize: 

 

SHE

will be greeted

by 

a 

choir of angels

+

one trumpet

 being played by

Louis Armstrong

who will be 

singing

Hello Dolly

Dollywood

would not settle

for anything

less

than this

sky-shattering

moment

of

the purest  form

of 

Love

Thinking of

as an 

American Icon

could get you

arrested for

understatement

The Most Amazing Thing About Female Prayer

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

The 

most amazing thing 

about 

female prayer

is

the resemblance

of

the praying hands

to

a 

most private part

of

the female

anatomy

One + Only One Word Describes Yesterday

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

That word is 

Blah 

but 

there may be

more than one

a

in the middle

 

I 

mention this

because

I am convinced

it is not

to become  a

lifestyle

 

Yesterday 

The slightest effort

to do

ANYTHING

was a struggle

 

I walked out 

my front door

exactly once

—all day— 

as opposed to

a minimum

of 

ten times

any other day 

 

Blah

happened 

simply because

a scheduled

2-mile walk

on 

Thursday

was doubled

BUT

the last mile

was a 

city bus ride

for free

because

I had no cash

on me  

 

Today is Saturday.

My Starbucks

is inches away

(so are my cigarets)

 

I've already 

Wordled

+

Geniused

on Spelling Bee

+

I am feeling 

blog-o-licious

The Winners Of The ... SMARTEST 3-YEAR-OLDS ...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

The Winners Of 

THE SMARTEST 3-YEAR-OLDS

in

Long Beach

were

the twins 

Kim + Jim 

Kowalski

 

Their mother

told 

her favorite story

about 

her new-born

babies 

being driven home

from the hospital:

 

Kim (or Jim) 

looked out the window

of the ambulance

and spoke

her/his 

first sentence:

Why do so many cars

speed up

to stop at 

a Red Light? 

 

Now,

my husband and I

ask both of them

for help

with our 

iPhones

 

We are the life 

of the party

in our neighborhood

because

we teach our friends

everything we learned

from 

Kim + Jim

Quote Du Jour ... Margaret Atwood ... #1 + #2

I'd learned quite a lot,

over the years,

by avoiding

what I was

supposed to be

learning

 

MARGARET ATWOOD

Moral Disorder

The word 

meticulously

was a chilling touch:

meticulous

—we knew—

was 

just one step

from

full-blown 

lunacy

Last Sunday's 60 MINUTES Segment Of Miss Piggy

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

I will guarantee 

the "Miss Piggy" pun

was created by

Margaret (Peggy) Atwood

 and 

I thank

Peter Galasso

for bringing it 

to my attention:

 

Years ago, 

Peter attended

a 

poetry reading

of hers

where the shortened form

of her first name

introduced 

the artist

 

BUT

—under no circumstances—

will he read

her recent

essay collection

which speaks unkindly

of 

President Trump

 

AND

I will proceed 

with

a series of 

pages

 entitled

"Atwood Quote Du Jour"

How The Hell Can Anyone NOT Believe ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

How the Hell 

can anyone

 not believe

that this image 

proves the 

existence of

 GOD

 

However,

the word

"God"

has more synonyms

than anyone 

can count

and 

if we can't

respect that fact

and the choreography

of each "church"

they represent

then 

we might as well

prepare to say

Goodbye

to 

Planet Earth
