The News From Here

I find myself a little short on words this morning. I know that may cause a couple of my readers to roll their eyes and wonder where on earth I’m going with that but. . . It’s true – a special evening was enjoyed yesterday. Whoops – see what I mean. The preceding sentence is just wrong. How could I enjoy an evening - yesterday? Yesterday is commonly thought of as proceeding yesterday evening. Therefore how could I truly enjoy “the evening” in advance. Yes, Yes I know about enjoying in anticipation but that doesn’t express the situation. This may be more difficult that I expected. Anyway- A special time was enjoyed by me and at least two others and provided by a special couple. The two others I had never heard talk about how much they enjoyed an evening like that before. I hear a lot about “bucket lists” and find other peoples bucket lists sort of interesting unless they are totally about some vacation or vehicle they want to add to theirs. I’ve never been much into such things but I think I’ll add an item. I’d like to be able to provide the comfort, comradely and fellowship plus a good meal to others like I enjoyed last evening. Part of my challenge with that undertaking is, I’m sure, you won’t believe this (chuckle), but I don’t multitask well. No let’s be up front and honest, I don’t multitask period. I’m not sure it’s a thing that most men do well. I’ve heard said that generally men don’t. We just switch back and forth a lot and not always gracefully or with any degree of continuity. Maybe if I would organize better I could make the necessary transitions from task to task smoother. Oh Joy! Organization – the weakest link in my rope. My organizational skills aren’t strong enough to be to referred to as a chain.
