Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered???

....Our next door neighbor, Freddie, gave us a gift he brought back from Germany. It was a witch on a string that we hung up in the kitchen a few months ago. Ever since then we have been bewitched. I won't even begin to discuss the evil that has happened to me. But take, as an example, what happened at dinner last night. Rhoda was broiling some hot dogs in the oven--two Nathan's and two Hebrew Nationals. She said we could have one of each--on hot dog rolls, of course. But as she took them out of the oven, all four fell on the floor at witch (sic) point RH- uttered the F-word as she retrieved them and stuck them on the table anyway. So we were stuck with floored dogs. They were a little dusty, but that added some to the culinary flavor. So the summer from Hell continues unabated. Perhaps it's time to burn the witch in our kitchen.


.....Right now, we are awaiting a call from Mobility Magic where a lift for my scooter is being glued to the back of my car. But the way things have been going, once the scooter is placed in the lift, I may have to drive the car with just the two back wheels as the weight in back of my trunk lifts up the two front ones. That should be fun. Speaking of fun, Rh+ and I went to the movies and saw "The Hangover". It involved a bachelor's party of four guys in Las Vegas. It was the funniest film I've seen all year. One has to be selective these days, as it seems all the films are catering to the younger crowd what with the plethora of sci-fis and the animated stuff. If you're in puberty, there is no paucity of films you could choose from. If you're over 80 and you see a guy in a movie that age, he is probably dying from shingles or an impacted tooth, whatever. Not very entertaining...nor encouraging.
.....I don't have too much more worthwhile to say today; except that there is a time honored proverb that means articulate and intelligent communication (speech and writing) should use few and wisely chosen words. It is best associated with the play 'Hamlet,' by William Shakespeare and is spoken by Polonius who states that 'Brevity is the Soul of wit'. Amen
