A dilettante does not "hone skills" or do anything but flit carefree from fun gig to fun gig. So you have a problem with me being a professional layperson. Or is that lieperson, hmmm? Oh, you and my brother. When anybody asks when I'm going to retire, he rolls his eyes and says,"From what?" But if you ever get a chance to work in a winery tasting room, take it. Of course you'll have to take the standard vows of poverty but, you get to spend the day with people who are having fun. Life is too short. Unfortunately, I have discovered that my life has the ability to expand to take up all of the time available. Then there are those times when I work 14 hr.s/day, 6 days/week. It's particularly nice to be free at this time of the year to get the garden in. Ideally, every day should have its' own name. Unfortunately "What ever goes up, must come down. But that's not my problem", said Werner von Braun. Time to barbeque. a tout a l'heure, - Billy (my brother Jimmy, always calls me Billy) Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |

I have been known to hose down a biker and his damn straight pipes. They make more noise than a freakin' semi. Thing with getting old is that it affects your judgement. Where once you'd have held your piece suddenly, you're ol' alligator mouth. But kids? You bad woman. Nah, I'm not down with hosing down kids unless it is a very hot day and they agree. I got me one of them motion detection sprinklers to keep the "Hounds from Hell" from romping around in the lettuce patch. I always forget when I turn it on. It's the last thing on my mind when I head for the tools and, wham. Like I say, not bad on a hot day but we be putting together a string of foggy morning and, just, comfortable afternoons. When the kids come back and TP your garden, you'd best laugh with them because you had it comin';-) - Bill Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |
