Blame It on the Rain

Fortunately, in the city where the streets have all names, I was not delivering pizza on Tuesday night, yet it was raining last night when I was working.

Like the flood of 1993 that averages every Super Bowl, the pizza place was unusually busy, so at least for the first few deliveries I was able to Blame It on the Rain.

I’m slow and inefficient, and suffer the consequences. I could look for ways to improve my processes, or own the situation as my manager at the help desk would have said, instead I call myself names and tell myself I’m not good at the job.

Why am I knackered this morning? I was awoken by a nightmare about three hours ago, “and to gain anything, something of equal value must be lost,” so I need to be awake now, and get to the bank this morning.

To add insult to injury, a co-worker left without making any boxes, and I was there all night. My consciousness drifted, like my car between lanes, at least twice on the long way home, so I could have crashed; a fact we'll be expressing to my co-worker this morning.

“On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God. (Psalms 62:7)”

As Perfect a Thursday 040

I forgot to wish Happy Big-Block Days to everyone!

You left a piece out, she said to me condescendingly. My friend Ronni and I were going to game night because it took me a little longer than usual to upload a post to my blog, and Tuesday night was also a night for severe weather, so there was water in our basement on Wednesday morning, when I got around to pay most of my bills.

I made sure to get some laundry done for my father as Thursday is his laundry day. Before I return for my afternoon route.

I went to Hurricane Allie’s for chicken wings at a special price of $0.75 each, and I was warned that they were just cooked, yet I burned part of my upper lip.

I had time to attend an event at The Foundry at McCoy’s in Westport, but I really don’t get a chance to go to bed that early on a Thursday  night, so I missed the party, but I indulged in dollar dog days again at Sonic.

I also heard the last Jam or no Jam from Will Sterrett, and his final broadcast with the Jonathan Weir Show.

“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly,
since love covers a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8)”

Silly Love Songs

He has a same name and appearance as Will Sasso, but with a goatee, and his dulcet tone often is the foil to ‘The Jonathan Weir Show’s Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - gonzo: filled with bizarre or subjective ideas, commentary, or the like.

Last Thursday I was fortunate to be listening to said program when Will Sterrett would be leaving KMBZ to go into business for himself to create and market content, unlike Tom DeLonge from Blink-182 who says, “I’m Still in the Band.”

As demonstrated around four in the afternoon on ‘Dana & Parks’ yesterday, Sterrett has an amazing ability to recognize Captain & Tennille or Christopher Cross from only a few bars, and tell jam or no jam.

“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, (Daniel 4:37)
praise and extol and honor the King of heaven,
for all his works are right and his ways are just;
and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.”

A second out of Phase 028

To search for a summer job should begin soon for me, and I would be fortunate to find work as a Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - amanuensis: a person employed to write what another dictates; secretary. Except for a fraction of time that morning, Monday has been go, go, go. I was on a different route until 5 o’clock, so little time to get to Bonner Springs Toastmasters, where the audience thought I gave my best ever speech.

Don’t Think I Don’t Think about It 004

Only recently did I become aware “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It” is also a song by Darius Rucker, whose music I appreciate more since he became a country artist than Hootie & The Blowfish.

Last Friday, my sister Kimberly would have been thirty. Tonight at Bonner Springs Toastmasters, if I am scheduled to speak, then I will use events described in Wolf Creek Pass to describe the human body during a Transient Ischemic Attack, which happened to my father on his birthday.

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.’ (John 14:6)”

Humor vampirism 025

The wind just annoys me because it gets in the way of some Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - alfresco: out-of-doors; in the open air.

I was giving 94.9 KCMO another listen this weekend, their Ultimate 80s Weekend, and heard that song from ‘Top Gun’ a couple of times today alone. I have not been following the comedy series ‘Archer’ lately, so unaware they had gone meta, “Kenny Loggins talks ‘Danger Zone’ and his ‘Archer’ cameo,” and if I haven’t sucked away the humor from that for you, then you probably should have been watching the show.

“If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture,
‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’
you are doing well. (James 2:8)”
