FOGGY FRIDAY

The sun is back today but yesterday morning was a bit of a surprise.

Fog was blanketing my neighborhood.

A foggy day always makes me think of the Sherlock Holmes stories I read as a kid.

"The game is afoot.

Watson?  Watson?

Where the devil are you?"

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

I suppose to some it started with Halloween but with Thanksgiving coming up next week we are officially in the Holiday Season.

Just to put you in the mood many retailers large and small have designated today Black Friday and begun their huge sales.

Aren't you happy?

Well let me lighten your load, Gentle Readers, with a small dose of medicinal humor.

There you have it, folks, the annual turkey trot.

I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving and that you don't eat too much.

In the meantime have yourselves a wonderful weekend and always remember to keep laughing.

ThrowBack Thursday

A weary Catalyst, after a two-hour long set with Mick and "Keef " and Charlie, back in the day.

A RAINY DAY IN ARIZONA

Yes, we do have rain in our desert state some times.

Just a little overnight but the sky is promising more to come.

The front showing only a slightly damp walkway this morning.

And out back the sun faces are smiling through.

Here in arid Arizona, we seldom sing the children's song:

"Rain, rain, go away.  Come again some other day."

CONTRAST

Just to make up for that somewhat ugly picture of my lunch that I posted yesterday, here's what my beloved Judy can do when she has a mind to.

In case you're wondering, it's breaded pork tenderloin on a bed of spinach and sliced strawberries.

(Some people can mash up a burrito and microwave it.  Other people are culinary artists.)

A SIMPLE LUNCH

A flour tortilla, enclosing some leftover taco meat and refried beans; microwaved for 30-40 seconds.

Not pretty but tasty and fast.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

It's nearing the end of the week and the Catalyst's idle mind encountered a question while thinking about The Friday Funnies.

Can he get a laugh without a picture?

As an experiment, let's see.

Okay, okay, I hear you so I'll bring back the cartoons.

Well maybe just one.

Brace yourselves.

With that, I will call a halt to this Friday Frivolity.

I leave you with my standard plea - enjoy yourselves, have a great weekend and always remember to keep laughing.
