The spring is coming! The spring is coming!!!

Before going to bed, remember to----->

Set your clocks ahead 1 hour.  Otherwise, you'll be late for church or temple.

Turn your sun dial 15.012 degrees to the south.  Otherwise, you'll get moss on your sox.

Change the battery in your pacemaker.  Otherwise, you'll flunk the ECG.

Move all those Christmas decoration boxes away from the smoke detector.  Otherwise, POOF!

What One Does When There's Nothing To Do.......




Being that rain fell in Goodyear, Arizona yesterday (No kidding), canceling the Indians' spring training game, I grabbed a camera and headed for places unknown, on another gray day in northeast Ohio.  
29 miles and 1056 feet later, I came upon, "The Bomb Shelter." (No kidding again)
Being such a shy guy, I poked my head into the office and asked permission to shoot some photos.  When I said that I don't charge a cent, Kevin's face morphed into what resembled the beaming Strip, in Vegas!  Seriously, he welcomed the request and said others have done the same.  Off I browsed and I welcome you to share that visit by clicking the site below.  Once there, you can enlarge any photo by placing the cursor on it and clicking.

By the way, Kevin and gang were the nicest!!!

Saved from wallowing in boredome!

The following was originally written on 6-4-08, but I'm certain there are more people who'd like to learn about what's happening in San francisco..........so, have at it and please enjoy it as much as I do!!!


Happy Bellies in San Francisco---Mangia!!!


She's becoming famouser and famouser! Who might that lady be? I'll get to her in a moment...but FIRST...provenance! 

A fraction of an eon ago, an Italian son joined forces with a Polish son in one of the least documented and hardly remembered 4 year stretch in the annals of the United States Air Force. Ask anyone! When they deny any knowledge of the aforementioned dos amigos, they'll indeed be forthrightly forthwith, forsooth, forsaking forty fortnights. Carmen and Bob were the only proponents...upon landing in Viet Nam...of having a silent auction for what appeared to be the world's largest greenhouse at that time. History clearly shows how no one listened to their sound reasoning. (Fast Forward)

Following their amazingly honorable discharges, Carmen and Bob went their separate ways. (This more than likely spared the Bay Area!) (Fast Forward)

In between the woefully too few reunions, they both, somehow, convinced respective ladies to enter into wedlock and bear a few bare butt babies. (REELEE Fast Forward!!!)

I won't recommend anyone or anything unless and until I am comfortable and know I'm dealing with honesty.

Okay...here's the "Who might that lady be?" part. If your plans, or even dreams, include a stay in San Francisco or any part of the Bay Area, you absolutely MUST become well acquainted with...(Drum Roll, please)...

The publication was conceived and continues to be written by my long-distance best friend, Carmen's daughter, Marcia Gagliardi. Her first name, according to her parents and her, is pronounced the same as, "Garcia" but I like to say, "Mar---SEE---Yuh." Using today's vernacular, wuddever! In short stead, Marcia will totally enchant you with honest critiques, descriptions and all other inclusives, along with names that would make the best red carpet hostesses drool with envy, Dah-ling! Her style is refreshingly easy to understand and there's just enough humor sprinkled in that causes you to wish being there with her! I do believe that, when you access the web site ofhttp://www.tablehopper.com/, you should print it, then close your eyes while someone reads the vignettes to you...how romantic! Happy travels!!!
