First back porch cocktail of the season. A caterwaul of children led to some friendly dialogue with neighbors of all ages, especially about books. Turns out we all love George Howe Colt's The Big House!

Friday Evening, the REAL May 4

May 4, 2018

1) Spin the GTS Wheel and you get "And very wise of you to wear pink, my dear."

2) Crisis averted.

2a) I'd huff down an entire bag of Cheetos if I had one here.

3) So, May the Fourth, Star Wars Day. I cannot think about Star Wars without thinking of my childhood friend Ian (may he rest in peace), with whom I saw either the first or the second (or both) movies in the front row of the Paramount Theatre in Lake Charles. And these three nasty pipsqueak girls were too loud or something, and we ssssshed them and somehow the usher got involved. And one of those girls said "Those boys are eating cow maneuvers!"
