A friend texted me, ‘Are you worried?’ – I replied, ‘Would it help if I were?’
My apologies to all my friends – last night, when very drunk, I left voice mail messages saying, “I’m not feeling too well (in reality, I’m feeling fine). If I don’t make it, the 7 million in gold from the bank job is in the following Swiss account. Quickly get a pen; to access it, you need to provide the following account number”… then I ended the message…
I am entertaining myself (as seen above).
I truly appreciate that both my brothers are regularly calling me to insult and mock me (which is their way of checking in to see how I’m doing; they are both quite kind, although they can’t bring themselves to admit it).
I’ve been watching some World War II informational films featuring the wonderful Burgess Meredith (for the young folks, he played the Penguin in the 1960’s Batman series). I recommend them. They focus on how Americans should behave when abroad. Although it’s dated, it comes from a place of goodwill.
Does anyone else recall that 1970s show “The Survivors”?
‘Zulu’s sir, thousands of ’em’… I could go on… Goodness, I’m so bored…
