I am looking for my new found joke list. It is the one that reminds you of all the jokes you forget. Or maybe its one liners today, mini quotes. List of jokes to come if you see none below. Or comebacks and more. I sold our vacuum cleaner; it was just gathering dust. “I misjudged you… You’re not a moron. You’re only a case of arrested development.” – Hemmingway “Knock, knock.” “Who’s there?” “Alabama.” “Anybody with you?” “Nope. I’m Alabama self.“ Did you hear the joke about experiencing déjà vu?

This makes me miss my dad who passed away back in 2020. We would ride the coasters together, and enjoy the trips. There weren’t that many, but I recall we did pull over once on a summer trip back through Oregon or Washington. Saw on just off the freeway, so we pulled off.

Back in 1969 my family moved to Georgia, it was a big move for me in many ways. For the previous 4 years I’d gone to a very tine school in Phoenix, had piano lessons and my only friends were Czech, saw them here and there, and a couple in my neighborhood that I knew from Cub Scouts. Georgia had some great things when I was there. Two of my claim to fame came from Atlanta Braves baseball, both involved Hank Aaron. I saw #700 and #715 in person. Went to a number of other games too. Also recall the beautiful green all around. Around
