Have some cheese please to go with this whine of mine The whine is rather old and bold a vintage of late '57 heaven But the cork's been out I pout and famously complain again and again ad nausium Edam or Gouda will do just fine with mine So why don't you stay I say And get an ear full of tearful at my pity party hearty where I whine on and on It's gone the cheese disappears inside ears to block out my wearisome din once again LGR(C)8/10/11 This is dedicated to all of the readers that have suffered through my “miss my man blues” theme as of late. |

When I was little, I use to think ayou had to smile for them to take a picture. In other words, I thought basically a camera wouldn’t work unless you were smiling, otherwise the camera would couldn not take a picture. I dound later that a camera doesn’t care what it takes a picture of it’s just people want you to smile so it will come out a cute picture. I also thought you had to say “cheese” or maybe “sex” and maybe the camera would take your picture. But cheese in ears? O dear. How queer. But have no fear Bdcause Daddygoose is here So it is all clear. He is verry near. In fact he is right here! Insidevyour monitor here. Oh I forgot, I like beer. :--hugs a la cheese:----) Daddygoose Jaime Not far, just near. |

Here's a little something from the archives for you to nibble on in preparation for the party... Cheese & Other Things "The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) It’s been asked, once and again, “what inspires you…?” I smile, a poet’s smile? Aye, I do… For until I run in dance across it, Or trip over the nuance of a thought, and listen to the smile crinkling my eyes… I won’t know from whence comes the next fire of inspire… So I nibble on my cheeses, what kinds it doesn’t matter, contemplating that a poet hasn’t written of it… this smooth, creamy, warming touch of heaven to my tongue, some having a bite to them, which kisses me back and trails down my throat but lingers in mind So the quote made me smile, to ponder why the subject of cheese had not been expounded upon, at least, not as late as 1936… perhaps it was because with the cheese, came the bread, and wine, and a poet’s thought, along with his love, lingered elsewhere… K R Jungel 8/2003 |

Hah 1957. I finished school in that year. As far as your pity-parties, they were never whiny, they were merely words conveying how you missed your guy, and beautiful words at that . . . ~ If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it. ~ |

Bless your sweet heart Jerry. Maybe I'm just feeling whiney today. Thanks for making me feel better.  Lori |
