On being approachable
This tree has fascinated me for years, it is one of our walking tours.
Big Daddy has evolved, actually he is a new man.
On his recent trip to Mexico he was being wanded at the airport in Monterrey. The 2 senors were obviously talking about him, to him, and laughing about it. As it was all in Spanish and BD is not fluent in that language he had to keep saying, "No Spanish speak English" which elicited no response. Finally one guy took pity on BD and told him the security guard said he looks just like Homer Simpson.
Yes, he has gone from Dick Cheney to Homer Simpson in a matter of months. I am sure everyone will have an opinion if this is a promotion or demotion. I have not decided. Although I must say Dick lost quite a bit of weight and has aged dramatically with his last heart surgery.
I have made a startling discovery with my new optical store bought glasses. I have to watch some TV programs on the laptop because that is the only one I have figured out so far. And the shows on the laptop must be HD because the picture is so much crisper and cleaner. First was Hell on Wheels, a western about building the railroad across the continent. This was recommended by Anne Rice, the author. The detail and photography was stunning, absolutely mind boggling. The rest are any show with an actress over 26. The camera is not kind to these women and I am amazed that I am not the only woman in the world with not perfect skin. If I could only see Susan Lucci on the laptop.

If its any help, if Dick Cheney did morph into a Simpsonesque world then he would be Mr Charles Montgomery Burns.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely a promotion!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how many of the women on TV now seem to have no facial features. Diane Sawyer seems to be blurred, as does Katie Couric... I think they're smearing Vaseline on the lenses!

yes, blurred. And I thought it was my eyesight but no, they look different on the regular TV than the laptop.
