The mental picture was too complicated and grueling. Some complained of headaches, and motion sickness. So, by popular demand&#8230;. AND&#8230;. to cure all that ails you&#8230;&#8230; I give you this compilation.<\/p>\n<p>From left to right, Mary as Tammy Wynette; Justin as Barry Manilow; Polly as Farah Fawcett.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news is&#8230;&#8230;. I cannot repeat the secret message I revealed last night. That was a one time offer.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is&#8230;. or maybe the bad news&#8230; I&#8217;ll just ramble on about something else&#8230; totally unrelated&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;. and here it goes.<\/p>\n<p>We built this home here in Ohio 18 years ago. Things are getting to the point where they are starting to wear out. You know. Roofs. Appliances. Outdated fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>So we have been thinking of spiffing the place up. Now I am a &#8220;do it right now&#8221; kind of gal. Let&#8217;s just run with it and be done with it. But Mary is very methodical and needs to research all aspects before putting a good foot forward. Somewhere in between is a perfect balance.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, we have been kicking around ideas here and there. Especially for the kitchen. It needs the most help at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Wellllll&#8230;.. yesterday our refrigerator thought it was a microwave. And wouldn&#8217;t you know it? Me and the fridge got into a heated fight. But we&#8217;re cool now.<\/p>\n<p>But mostly&#8230; I want to get some new dishes. So. I have invented crockery that comes to me when I whistle. My cup runneth over.<\/p>\n<p>Oh enough for tonight. I have to go spray my hair with heavy duty shellac. Right after I jib \u00a0and taunt Mary&#8217;s head&#8230;. na, na, na, na, na, naaaaaaa. Yep, that hair needs to be teased.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u201cA picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know.\u201d \u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Diane Arbus\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It appears that several readers of last night&#8217;s installation were unable to follow my train of thought.
