Lola at the Coffee House

It comes with a significant cardboard carrier, thank goodness I saved it, but is tre heavy, and then there are all those wire thingies.

Oof. I think I need an iPhone one of these days.

Never mind that I look like I've been pulled through a hedge backwards Mr Washup. Have you got some Alka Seltzer and a jar of bitter marmalade? And a spoon. And turn some of the lights off if you will. The reflections from all the polished chromium knobs is blinding.

Ill have my usual chili hot chocolate. Heavy whup cream please.

HEY SPENDI!! WHY SO GLUM??

good morning all. I'm finally up. Coffee please, Wassau. I'm going to sit here on the couch and ask spendi to come over and pity me for a little while. I need cheering up.

I got an iPhone 4 for $.99 and it is convenient when I'm away from home.

Whoo, interesting.

Not as convenient as going away from home, intentionally forgetting your phone. It's a freeing feeling when you are free of the responsibility of batting down emails and text messages every five minute or so. I get more time to be introspective without my cursed phone.

Introspection is my specialty. I don't find my phone interferes. However, if your phone blocks introspection, it's a good idea to be without it sometimes.

(AT&T) call them

But you end up paying far too much in data fees (ATT) that makes the almost outdated iPhone 4 not so peachy cool.

Hello.
Happy Valentine's Day to all the people whom I love.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the cruds I couldn't care less about.

Joe(you know which group you fall into)Nation

Hey fm--I was looking through my library, the American Section, after finishing The Game of Nations, when I spotted a nondescript little volume Gateway To A Nation: The Middle Atlantic States and Their Influence on The Development of the Nation by D.G. Brinton Thompson.

I could not remember having read it before so I took it down. I've only read a few pages but I can tell it is another gem already.

There is a liitle outline map on the dustcover showing New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. It looks a bit like a fat old Buddha type taking a dump.

Anyway--I'll just curl up on the sofa with Lola and maybe read a few things out for her now I have had a wash and brush up in the backroom. Somebody had written her name on the mirror with a soapy finger like this--LOLA and surrounded by lines emanating in all directions like they do in comics to signify a divine illumination. About 8.

You can get introspective aspie about being free of the tribulations of your phone.

I once went on a recce mission to the Isle of Islay to see if I might like to retire there when the time came. Everywhere I went I met people who could talk of nothing else but what a wise decision they had made in coming to live there and how they didn't need to lock their cars or their houses. Plus a small number of variations on the same theme.

I gave the idea up.

What have you learned from your introspections?

I have a good idea which group I belong to Joe and I'm very glad it isn't the other one.

That's the way I meant it.

Joe( maybe I could stay for just a dram.)Nation

PS fm--I was quite surprised to find that those 4 states together are not much larger than Britain. I see they are all "blue". Is there no independence movement?

The spirit of the Grinch seemingly is trying to annex another holiday.

Is there only love in the air or could I get some Valentine's Specials?



(I'd like to have a café gigolo with amoretto cake)
