Also to my sister and my niece, neither of whom do the puzzle, but who were also shorted on their birthdays. I hope you all forgive me. And a very current and on-time Happy Birthday to Hahtoolah ! Since you all have December birthdays, I'll just double up and give you a combined present this year ! Please don't feel shorted.<br /><br />Perfect Monday puzzle and write up. Just got beckoned.

I hope you have something really fun planned for today.<br /><br />I misspelled Arte as Arti, so Caller ID came up Callirid. I couldn't for the life of me make any sense whatsoever out of that. So a DNF for me today. That doesn't usually happen on a Monday, but it did today. Sigh.<br /><br />Other than that the rest of the puzzle came together well. I thought the theme was fun. Thanks, Marti for two puzzles almost in a row. Argyle, you always give it your best shot and today was no exception.<br /><br />These past two weeks have been very busy, and I have been fighting a Staph infection in my leg. After 4 weeks of antibiotics, I think I'm finally on the mend. Thank Goodness<br /><br />You go to the Dr. to get better and I came away with an infection that wouldn't go away. I've been fighting this for almost 10 weeks. <br /><br />Have a great day, everyone.<br /><br />A side note. Jill who was on the blog for a short time and who joined our CA Coven for coffees, has had a very hard time caring for her ill mother. Her mother passed away this past week. Jill contacted JD and let her know. I thought some of you on the blog might be interested.Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-18114910298806452042013-12-09T16:08:13.035-06:002013-12-09T16:08:13.035-06:00Flo & Friends, Wed, 12/4<a href="http://images.ucomics.com/comics/crflo/2013/crflo131204.gif" rel="nofollow">Flo & Friends, Wed, 12/4</a>OwenKLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709695380239557575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-398044831889133262013-12-09T15:55:06.661-06:002013-12-09T15:55:06.661-06:00I’m back from the field trip to the SAC Museum in ...I’m back from the field trip to the SAC Museum in Omaha and I gotta say, supervising 16 yr olds is a lot easier than 12 year olds.<br /><br />Musings<br />-HBD, Hahtoolah!<br />- Here’s the <a href="http://lib1point5.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/what-me-worry-715605.jpg" rel="nofollow">What Me Worry?</a> kid<br />-HEINZ Catsup and Skippy Peanut Butter are the coin of realm around here<br />-The most famous <a href="http://hsfeatures.com/hornetdh_1.htm" rel="nofollow">Short Take Off</a> (they were not ever going to land back there) area in history is documented at the SAC Museum<br />-If you believed URI really bent those spoons with his mind, I’ve got some ocean front property in Nebraska to sell you<br />-Did any of you administrators ever have to EXPEL a student?<br />-NASA’s and the Navy’s <a href="http://www.scottcarpenter.com/sealab.htm" rel="nofollow">SEALAB</a><br />-How-to videos have saved me big bucks<br />-A CUPCAKE is also a name for an extremely easy opponent that is easily defeated by a bigger school so the little school gets a big payday and the big school pads its record.

My husband's trainer used to say, "There are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old bold pilots." The first (and only) time I ever flew with my AF son right after he got his license, he delighted in scaring me so bad with his aero-antics, I was sure he'd never grow old.<br />But the USAF must like him.
