Good morning BN.

Brazil's in the air I swear
It feels like Mardi Gras time.

I wish lunch could last forever. As long as it is on a sunny day when I don’t have to work and the weather, food, and company are all delightful.

Back to work today. All out of sorts since I never sleep well out f fear I will sleep through the alarm. Oh well, one day closer to the weekend.

Enjoy today, all!

Good morning, BN.

Good Morning Ladies (& Gents who saunter in later):

The sun is shining but the high temp is a little chilly to visit the beach today. Instead we will make a Lowes run for some paint & weed killer. Oh, the excitement .

On an actual exciting note we are planning a trip to Darlington, NC (abt 2 hrs) on Sunday, March 22 for a Nascar Race. We've never been to one but the couple we are going with have so that's a big help.

Good morning from my sister's house! We'll be leaving in about 2 hours for the airport.

And they LOVE my car.

Otherwise today is a play with doggies, or watch them sleep.

Have a good Tuesday!!

Hello, everyone! Just more writing today. It's a bit cold this week, and a foot of snow is still stuck on the ground at my place.

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums!
I couldn't find any JB live vids, he only played it live 8 times (summer of 2000) but here's a little something....

The place down the block, the one with no clock
Covert rendezvous with you at the usual time
I savor the scent of the fish on the grill
Life’s so spicy up on bar-b-q-hill
Lookin’ good, you look so fine
Waiter bring us one more bottle of wine

I wish lunch could last forever
Make the whole day one big afternoon
We’ll begin with dessert a little coconut tart
Mmmm tastes as sweet as a piece of your heart
Cafe au lait beneath the Paris moon

Don’t hide you eyes just wear your disguise
Brazil’s in the air I swear it feels like Mardi Gras time
I savor the scent love that Anik Goutal
As we walk in time to the cathedral bell

I wish lunch could last forever
Make the whole day a first time love affair
We’ll begin with a kiss, such a warm place to start
Let me into your life, let me into your heart
Mea culpa mea culpa carnival’s in the air

This song helped me through a tough time. I played it every day for about 2 months.

Good morning. It's also Fastnacht Day here in PA. I had a couple this morning.

Good afternoon. I have no plans, maybe I'll go out and see what happens.

Is Fat Tuesday Wednesday Addams' less attractive sister?

I believe so.

Thanks for the song, Mr. SPH. I love that one, too!!

Hi there! I had my first shower in 2 weeks. No more sponge baths. We ate at a local diner where I thought how appropriate today's song is for me.

I went out for lunch and wound up at Voodoo Brewing. They have some guest taps and one of them is a cherry vanilla hard cider. That sounded good so I tried it. It tastes like cough medicine.

Yummy... NOT!!

"What was lunch on Tuesday?" I hear you ask...

"Well, Paella of course".

My youngest brother gave us a paellera (a paella pan) for Christmas, so I have been practising.

Looks good, Rabz. What's in yours?

I agree with Penny! That looks wonderful, Rabbitz!
And using a grill makes it even better, as that would be SoulMate's responsibility!
I used to do all the grilling in the winter (because I don't mind cold) BUT a few years ago he bought a new Weber, and I am too short to safely open and close the lid! Oh well...

Happy Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras to everyone!
I don't recall them matching up before, although I'm sure they have, as both are moon-cycle-based!
