Old Dad Joke OR Dad's old joke

 Never play pickleball with a cymbal.

It makes a terrible racket.

-----------------

speaking of pickleball - I heard that a ritzy California community has banned pickleball in their town.

Go figure.

----------------

Rained yesterday and this morning.     .41" yesterday    .82" today  =  1.23" total.   Predicted total was between 3 & 5 inches.  I'll believe it when I see it.  More rain coming about Monday.  We'll see.

----------------

In the very near future I will be having a colonoscopy.  Yep, one of them.   I have a full day of "prep" to take my mind off the fact that I am not eating all day.  I can definitely say, "I hope everything comes out all right."

I had a bout with colitis about 2 months ago.  Two different doctors at 2 different times told me to do it.  At 85 yrs old, you don't get that often.  Usually, they say forget it - if you have cancer you'll die of old age before the cancer will get you.  I don't believe in that latter philosophy.  I believe in the old adage (I just made up):   The longer you are alive, the more you live.   

Their philosophy is so comforting.  

----------------------------

We should be seeing some family this Thanksgiving.  That'll be nice.  I watched an episode of Texas Country Reporter last night.  They had a bit about a guy in Grand Prairie - think named Zavalla - ?? - who has BBQ place - has cancer in remission - uses his place to make money and give it to cancer research.  I was impressed with his attitude.  He said it was just a matter of time before the cancer comes back - "and it will come back."   I don't know if I could handle it that well.  Impressive young man.

--------------------------

For laughs I just clicked on the button that highlights certain words or phrases.  Click on the highlight and google will tell ya all about it.   I'm through.  I am  Cooking a whole chicken in my crock pot today.  Am anxious to see how it comes out.  No, I'm sorry, you are not invited to share.  Maybe next time.  Later,

and P.S;  I am not going to click on any of these either.
