My eyes are growing to the size of golf balls
as I stare at the blank computer screen...
It’s not easy dredging through the cobwebby
recesses of my brain in the early morning hours,
trying to figure out something humorous to write
about for my blog--and to think I was writing my
blog every day for a few months!
My blog friend, Colin, is prolific--his food blog at:
http://wokkingontherun.blogspot.com is colorful
and informative, filled with delicious recipes.
But then, Colin isn’t an antique like me.
His brain is still in diapers…
Speaking of which…
Cruiser, our resident duck, has been bob, bob,
bobbing along the back lanai twice a day.
She brought her white headed baby with her last week.
Cruiser was quite piggish, swiping whatever bread I
was tossing out to her baby. So piggish in fact, that
Cruiser has a case of “beano-itis’.
Yesterday, she waddled beside where I was soaking
up some sun, and emitted what I thought was a foghorn.
She looked over at me, and I thought, don’t you dare
pin that ’blurp’ on me!
Speaking of which…
I live in Naples, Fl, a beautiful, gulf coast town filled
with senior folk, a natural, tropical atmosphere,
early bird dinner and drink specials, assorted cultural
events, and cars that cost as much as pocket change
in an Arab’s wallet.
So, with all the round-the-clock, delectable varieties
of international cuisine and drink, over-indulgence
is often a big problem.
Store aisles are often filled with indescribable ‘blurps’.
“Air fresheners on aisle 6, please.”
I make a quick beeline so as not to get pinned with the
unfortunate scent du jour.
Speaking of which…
I’m thinking about my sinner menu for tonight.
I mean dinner menu! Stir-fry, I think-- right, Colin?
My eyes are now hanging on little springs, flopping
up and down as I continue staring at the blank screen
in front of me, wondering if Dave Barry ever had this problem…?

I love it... diapers, huh? I have been taking a break on the writing because it started to become taxing on the brain... so I know what you are referring to. Dredging up good stuff is HARD WORK!!!
What fun to see you and your family and I had no idea your eyes were still hurting. They look so BLUE and beautiful as always.
Yes I know how hard thinking of humorous & interesting things to write can be. It's funny how all I can think about is a quaint little town filled with senior citizens like where Jerry Seinfeld's parents live.
