Friend

The folks over at Theme Thursday have chosen "Friend" as this week's theme. I've got friends. No, really I do. I've got blogger friends...well, some blogger friends. I've got real friends. I used to watch Friends. I'm old enough to remember Friendship 7 and of course there's my best friend...the love of my mid-life. Hi, hon.

This week my "friend" Mad Mad Margo and I got into a bit of a good-natured scrap Monday and Tuesday because she thought I stole her idea but was first on the interwebs with it because I live in an earlier time zone and could post sooner. We did a bit of a back and forth in our respective posts and some of our readers thought World War III had surely broken out. But the Arizona ass-wipe and I got it all sorted out. For now. If I posted it first, that means I thought of it first, right? C'mon, great minds think alike.

Meanwhile, here's some pics and some thoughts about friends that I hope put a smile on YOUR face, friend...





A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg
even though he knows you are slightly cracked.
Bernard Meltzer







A true friend stabs you in the front
Oscar Wilde








Love is blind. Friendship tries not to notice.

Friends are God's way of apologizing for our families

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another,
'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.
C.S. Lewis

Quirks: Sometimes animals make the best friends. They can be very accommodating and forgiving. And when they borrow money they pay you back on time.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...
