It is a wise father who knows his own child. (Shakespeare)

.....Well here I am again, trying to write without mistakes. I haven'nt the time to go back and correct every mistake, so you will have to read this and make head or tail of the mistakes.  Friday is my 91st and here I am still.  Feels important. I need a cap that has WWII on it. Went to the VA today and did not see one other guy from WWII.  Only saw guys from Kuwait, Vietnam, Korea, and several other wars.  I did not see one guy with ISIS on his cap for having faought in the war against those barbarians.  Wen are the genitals going real9ze that the air war is not ever going to stop those ICes idiots. Only a war on the ground will do it.  Muslims \?? a religion?  They haven't reached that stage yet. Neandathatls don't qualify, yet theyre all over the place.

.....Here I am again! Tomorrow I will get to see Robin, Bonny, Don and Sean; Don is my brother-in-law and Sean (pronounced "Shawn") is my grandson. They came all the way from California to celebrate my birthday 2/27/1924.  I made reservation at Snappers; seafood menu. Then on Saturday we are all going to an Italian place called "Saltabucca".  It should be a terricic two days. My two girls love eandh other. In fact all of my four offspring love each other.  Problim is that the two boys, Joel and Bobby live in Virginia and D.C. and the two girls live in California.  Not a very good split.  However, I am very proud of the fact that my family is a functial one while so many are not with the children not getting along with each other.  What others may not agre, I think my "kids" are amazing!  I am super proud of them. And why not?   Well, I'll be 91 tomorrow, and isn't that a blast!

    It's wonderful, Baron! Have great times!!

    It must be nice that all your children get on with each other. My two sons can't stand one another. But I don't worry about it, got better things to do. I'm studying Musical Composition, as you know, that's much more fruitful than getting het up about something about which I can do nothing, isn't it.

    MUSLIMS? Eeuurrgghh - so many of them over here, so vocal, so appeased, that one doesn't know where to start. Except that I know where it'll finish - with Jewish people having to find somewhere else to live. Not funny.

    Have a great day! Cuzzin Ruth

  3. Upon losing a spouse, a vestige of items can be found and more importantly, can be used to satiate a twisted sense of humor. I’m referring to her legacy to me, of her email account. Think of the mischief I can get into, like chiding a mutual friend to be nicer to the surviving mate. (Me)
    I chose an old friend to test this warped inclination, and he received an email from (whom else?) Helen Herbstman. In one fell swoop, I gave voice to a dearly departed that I’m sure left so abruptly, without that opportunity. Hey, I never said that the stunt is appropriate, but it surely has some value.
    I sit here waiting for my invitation to dinner that was promised during the mourning period, but was never fulfilled. Who better can berate this forgetful soul, but Helen Herbstman, my late wife? If this new form of communication was not meant for me, she would have closed the email account before departing. Therefore, as the new sole owner of mikeyhelen@aol.com, I have a new tool to utilize and you can bet I don’t possess the sense of propriety that will squelch my effort. My equally deranged friend, on his web blog, The Red Baron, admitted receiving her mail, but further blasphemed the situation, by advising her to join them at Halloween. Is my lack of taste spreading to my friends?

    Let's hope so, Mike, or they might get really miffed. It all reminds me of an incident related by a Jewish jazz musician from London, whose recently widowed mother went to a medium to try to contact her husband beyond the grave. He told her: "Mum - he never spoke to you when he was alive: he's not going to start NOW!"
    "Appropriate?" "Inappropriate?" What weasel words they are!! If I never said anything allegedly "inappropriate," I would hardly ever be opening my lips except to shove food into my mouth. Or whatever. NOTE TO EVERYONE: THAT LAST BIT WAS A CRUDE AND INAPPROPRIATE JOKE!!! (And I'm just waiting for someone who shares my sense of humoUr to say: "That joke sucks!"
