Delusions of Grand Fir… Boris, left: “Don’t you think it’s time we took the Christmas tree down? It’s mid-March, springtime. We should be planting things, not looking at dried-out shrubbery.” Ginger, right: “Oh, heavens no! Can’t you see that Fluffy really likes living in it? Where will he sleep without the tree?” Boris: “Fluffy is […]
Pretension and Posturing… The Old Oak Cliff Conservation League holds an annual Tour of Homes in our little neck of the woods, an event that is quite popular, with thousands of people plunking down money to analyze and criticize what other people do with their money.

Random Randiness… Note: During the first few crazy months of the Corona Virus Mess, I ran a series of daily posts trying to make light of the matter, despite the actual seriousness of such.

Note: The following is an excerpt from one of my books-in-progress, a sordid tale of the time when a mass contingent of my family stupidly decided to go on a Carnival Cruise, wherein we were expected to behave in wholesome manner.

There was a time… one of my Halloween costumes was made in part with foil. The only advice I have for anyone with thoughts if doing that is … don’t. It doesn’t wear easily like Kate makes it seem.

I actually have some experience as well with tinfoil couture, and I should point out that it can make you SWEAT like there is no tomorrow. I like a wrapped slab of salmon roasting in the oven. (Somebody flip me over at the halfway cooking point!)

Two Halloween incidents: One involved me portraying a burrito from Taco Bueno (a chain restaurant that I used to worship in college, and their burritos came wrapped in foil) and the other involved a punk rock band that we were parodying. Suffice it to say that I had some really twisted friends in college who inspired me to push the edge…

Praying mantis Kate! Lol! The dress reminds me of tinfoil like you say. The cape, though looks like it’s made of parachute material. But that’s for landing, not taking off. I can’t decide which she’s doing here. 😀

Something tells me Kate is quite sure what her next move should be, either. Even her little antenna looks like a question mark…

It does! Lol. I wonder if that question mark is alluding to something else?

Katharine Hepburn? Really?! And here I thought the kookiest thing she did was Bringing up Baby. Huh.
I guess it just goes to show, you never really know a person until you wear their antennae.
