fandango friday

Dance? 

Do you have your castanets? 

Nowadays I mostly prefer to watch but either way you can do the fandango on Fridays with Mrs. 4444’s collection of fragments. Here is my dance card post.

Certain words just sound good to my ears, such as fandango. Years ago, my travels included Durango Colorado. I didn’t stay long enough to find out if they do the fandango in Durango?

Words exist for me to misspell. This past week I wrote in an email, “I hope I'm not being a nuance.” 

Clever subtleties in my writing would be a good thing I believe. NO, I was expressing my fear of becoming a nuisance. Being close in spelling doesn’t cut it.

My wife made me some soup for slackers. Actually, you can add ‘slackers’ on to anything she makes me since I am one.

Have you reached that age when you finally accept certain goals or desires will NOT be reached? I have many times. 

• I was still in my twenties when I accepted that I was not going to be James Bond and wrestle with a girl named Pussy Galore. 
• Now as I’m gaining speed downhill I accept my fate never to be a Zamboni driver.

Hey dude. Would I sound younger if I used “dude” and “like” in my conversations? Sprinkling “like” between my words would grate my ears but increased “dude” usage would be easy. The problem is just as I get my dude usage up it would be outdated. Snap, you will go nuts following trends.

“You have a great sense of writing I must say. Your post has those facts which are not accessible from anywhere else. I request you humbly please keep writing such remarkable articles” 

The spam detection works on DISQUS and I’m sure this was spam but I enjoy a well written compliment even if it’s bullshit.

RIP - The week my generation lost our Justin Bieber. Davy Jones of the Monkees died at the age of 66. Many called him the cute one. Here’s column written back in 1994 by Mary Schmich who went to a promo to get his autograph.
