M. I. A.

The last two days have been busy beyond belief and on top of
everything else the computer broke. After spending 229. dollars on it, it should be good to go for awhile.

Steve left me for another woman because I didn't have my
bathroom tile yet. These realtors really keep him busy with
their to do lists before a closing. I hope to get him back
next week and then we will be straight as far as getting the
house work done. In the meantime, I sealed my bathroom floor
which has to be done every six months and sealed the tile under where the washer and dryer goes so I could attack my
mountain of laundry. I immediately changed the bed and sorted
clothes after we got the washer and dryer hooked up.

Dick Clark didn't look too bad when he had his last public
appearance. A lot of boyish men age well. I loved American
Bandstand.

Someone had a poster of Janis Joplin in the nude, swathed only in beads on a local antique show. They also had a
Hank Williams poster that included Paul and Mary of Peter,
Paul and Mary fame. I didn't realize they were in his band.

I simply love my black and white checkerboard floor. The
kids keep saying they are going to play chess or checkers
on it. It gives me the look I wanted. It is so much fun
when you finish something.

black and white checkerboard was the rave in the forties.

I know but I still love it.

Chelsea Hotel eulogy? If you search "leonard cohen janis joplin" some great vids turn up (some better than others). The one I'm listening to now has great sound quality and many pics of Janis!

I thought the same thing about Cohen when I saw the geezer version of So Long Marrianne. I posted it on fb and somebody asked if he was still alive. Not sure have they meant that question.

I am going there. I love Leonard Cohen and even more when his voice got
deeper. Janis Joplin was like a bright candle, snuffed out too soon. If
you haven't seen the movie, The Rose. Watch it now! Bette Midler is a great Janis.

All in good time with the house improvements. Glad your floor is finished. I watched American Bandstand every day after school. Dick Clark really did hold his age well. Sad that he is gone. Another small piece of my youth died with him.

I remember all the people he had on American Bandstand. He looked like a
kid for years and he was one of my favorites.

I wish I could see your floor. I had to laugh at your tile man "leaving you for another woman". You are just too funny!

I am due some blog visitors and when they come, I will have them take pictures of the work we have done. My Dad and I have a strange sense of humor. We could keep each other in stitches.

I'm so glad you like your new floor, and hope it won't be too long until the bathroom is done. Seems like it has been forever since you started, doesn't it, but you'll soon forget all the delays once it's done.

It will be like the kitchen, I am sure. I will forget all about when I
see how pretty it is. Ted says Steve is an artist and Ted has put down
enough tile to appreciate it.

How cool that your floor is finished. YAY!
I wish u could do pictures and I hope things slow down for ya.

We will get some pictures when Fredo and Mike visit.
reply by elderjane on Apr 19, 2012 6:02 AM ()
You didn't happen to get a picture of that poster, did you?
comment by jjoohhnn on Apr 18, 2012 4:21 PM ()
No, but Leonard Cohen wrote a song about her. I will message some of the
lyrics to you. It would be offensive if I posted it, although I have the
tape somewhere.
