Soaking & Bloging

Today was a true Southeast Soaker! A hard heavy rain most of the day, but mercifully with only brief periods of wind. I had plenty of days like this under my umbrella at Mickey's Bagel Bistro. There I stood, seemly impervious to the weather, smiling at all who passed by like I was having the time of my life. My thoughts were this was good for business. Couldn't show that the rain and lack of business due to it were bothering me in anyway. Often wondered and still do if people thought I was some kind of simpleton. Back in those days when I demonstrated some of my wit and wisdom in letters to the editor, people would come up to and ask incredulously, 'Did you write that?' My thoughts were who do you think wrote it? But with all seriousness about me I'd reply that I had hired a ghost writer!

Can't believe how I have neglected this blog. Am going to have to save up my money to hire a good ghost! Am going south for the month of September and think I will have time for a daily entry. As money is tight these days, you will have to put up with my writings and thoughts, such as they are! Give it a try!
