Working. . .

Two hour aloe baths run by James
He answers the telephone when it rings
Dinner and caviar in the sun or rain
The glass and mimosa trees make it all the same

Four vintage autos
Summer house and a private plane
So much to desire
Would be nice but you won't hear me complain
I'll keep on working
Working that's how my life has got to be
I'll keep on working that's how it must be for me
I'll keep on working
Working until my work's all through
To be with you
To be with you

It's off to Ibiza now for a weekend fling
To have the ability to do these things
Italian designer names in my sleeves and cuffs
In spite of such easy means life can be so tough

Four vintage autos
Summer house and a private plane
So much to desire
Would be nice but you won't hear me complain
I'll keep on working
Working that's how my life has got to be
I'll keep on working that's how it must be for me
I'll keep on working
Working until my work's all through
To be with you
To be with you

But one mane's treasure is not to all the same
These things of value like prizes in some game

Do you think the measure of any man should be
How much and how man things he as materially
What price for your sanity how much will you pay
Will these things be here awhile will they fade away
Four vintage autos
Summer house and a private plane
So much to desire
Would be nice but you won't hear me complain
I'll keep on working
Working that's how my life has got to be
I'll keep on working that's how it must be for me
I'll keep on working
Working until my work's all through
To be with you
To be with you

Mama said . . .

. . . there'd be days like this . . . 

. . . and Mama was always right.  Well, at least mostly.

First, well it actually happened Sunday, not today. . . Russ' smart phone fell off the arm of the couch and did the triple back flip dive right into a glass of water. Pretty smart, in my estimation.  Not sure I could have done it.  They don't call it that for nothing.  (Hailey said the sound of the phone hitting the water will live with her for years.) 

He said he bought insurance for it but never heard from the provider about the insurance. Seems they have some kind of bogus email address for him and didn't call, write or otherwise pursue him regarding the insurance.

Then, the new business cards show 396 instead of 369 on the telephone exchange.  And darned if the Office Depot guy didn't have me proofread the card on the screen, in the store, before he pushed the "GO" button, and I missed it.  Matter of fact, it took me about two months to notice it.  Maybe that's why I haven't been getting any new calls!

The bathroom scale has also been behaving less than famously.  We noticed that we both weighed approximately five lbs more than formerly and that we care to. Discussions on purchasing a new scale have been underway for weeks.  We finally made our move and when ‘testing’ various models in the retail outlet we discovered that the most promising one actually adds about ten lbs.  Not a happy development.  Sometimes ignorance is, indeed, bliss.

Last, at the end of the evening as I sat down to write this, add graphics and music and get it ready for posting but remembered Pam said that no incoming email has been received.  I re-booted the router, twice now.  Nothing.  Checked the other hardware for the incoming fiber-optic line and discovered that the BATTERY NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

THE BATTERY NEEDS REPLACEMENT.  At 10:00PM when I want to sit down and relax and use the internet LIKE I DO EVERY NIGHT the BATTERY NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

Well. . . (De Capo Al Fine)
