We have someone in the house who has an appointment deep in Fort Wayne territory – not out in the Dupont area where you have to make up an excuse to travel the extra stoplight infested streets to get to the mall or other stores. Best Buy, is that you I hear calling me?

We are going to be right there on Coliseum and after all this time, a bit of mall walking sounds inviting. I know, I know it’s not like Chicago or San Diego or Cincinnati or even Dayton malls, but it has the advantage of being here. No Apple Store or Crate & Barrel, but . . . it’s here.

DON’T PANIC, DER BINGLE! I am just thinking of a bit of ambiance and maybe a refill on my skin moisturizer. Uh, perhaps I should let my fingers do the walking over to the ads and see if Estee Lauder is giving away anything FREE with a purchase. Giving away and FREE are redundant . . . sorry. See, that was a little distraction.

Of course there is the possibility the person with the appointment will have a snit in the backseat and not want to stop anywhere. Well, I guess we’ll see which one of us is stronger. I think this means I’m leaving you with a cliffhanger. Tune in later to find out the answers. Hope they don’t involve the police and punched noses.

I was feeling sorry for myself, wallowing in despair, using sorrow for a pillow . . . so I mowed the lawn. It worked.
Sweat: the great elixir.

I am not a fan of April Fool’s Day, so we skipped it. We had a 48-hour-long March 1st here at The Peanut Butter Cafe & Roadhouse. We did cook out on propane, however, and that might have been tempting fate . . . Oh, of course, they blew up on April 1st – they were April Fools.

I was careless with my cell phone messages and missed one last week. LZP sent pictures of two of his trees in bloom and I heard only one alert. I saw the big tree full of blooms, but I wasn’t aware of the second tree – a little one – until today. It is Miss Jody’s Tree.

This month will mark one year since she passed away. We will always remember and we will probably always not be able to find words. Well, there are these, though: Jody, we will always look after your dad who loves you so.
