JUST A QUIET SUNDAY IN THE COUNTRY

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

Late this morning it was about 79 degrees with little to no breeze outside.

Perfect!

Just right for a late breakfast bowl of cereal al fresco on the patio.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Greetings, Gentle Readers.

Here we are again, searching for humor in a world gone mad.

Fortunately your Catalyst has an ever growing number of fine-spirited contributors to the Comics Bank so we can continue to bring you these weekly frolics in frivolity.

Shall we begin?

Awww, you know you laughed.

Now for the weekend: I'd love for you to languish languorously on your loveseat, languidly leering and limning your life as you look for your lagniappe.

Like it?

Have a great weekend (yes, it is still a weekend) and always remember to keep laughing.

Puns, you say?

We'll leave it to the final speaker.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

ThrowBack Thursday

Just 5 years ago The Terrific Four T's gathered together to celebrate my 75th birthday.

Timmer, Taylor, Tom, and Torbs

With a group name like that, we should go out on a World Tour once this pandemic is tamed down.

EATING IN

We used to go out to restaurants for special occasions, like birthdays.

But, given the pandemic rules, we dine at home these days.

And y'know, it's often better than the restaurant experiences.

For example, yesterday was The Wife's birthday and . . .

. . . our plates were filled with barbecued pork ribs and baked potatoes topped off with butter and salt and pepper and sour cream with garlic salt and parsley and chives!

I could eat that every day.

Except then I'd probably weigh 300 pounds!

The meal was perfection with a salad alongside.

One of Judy's specials of watermelon and mango and canteloupe with chopped mint from our herb pot gardens, as were the chives.

And garnished with an aromantic sprig of mint.

Yup, I think it was better than a restaurant meal.

And cheaper, too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is the birthday of SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed), also known as Judy, your scribe's wife.

So I have dedicated today's post especially to her.

But seriously, I have loved this woman for many years and I love her still.

Is there any question why?

Happy, happy birthday, my dear Judy Girl.

MONDAY MADNESS

Hi, folks!

Howya doin'?

Today's post is a little different.

We're actually going to post something to make you more intelligent.

Ready?

Here goes.

Now I know you appreciated that brief geography lesson.

Your task for the rest of the day is to learn a foreign language

It's not as hard as you might think.

There you go, Gentle Readers.

May the rest of your day go easy for you.
