This week, we’re going to shoot the moon, so to speak. We’re kinda havin’ to do that because Plan A didn’t work out, as sometimes happens.
Here’s a bit of a follow-up to a previous item...
...yours truly spent some more outside in the dark of night in what proved to be several fruitless attempts to...
It was a dark and stormy night...
Before we get to the good stuff, just wanted to ask: has anybody managed to spot the comet which is supposed to have been visible in the early morning...and early in the night...sky?
From what I understand, the comet is called something like C/2020 F3 NEOWISE*....
This week is going to be about trying to tie up some loose ends...well, as best as one can do in the midst of a pandemic. Seems like you just about have a loose end tied up, and the other end starts to unravel...
Don’t know about you, but before the pandemic started, yours truly sometimes wondered...
Went home early last Thursday after another grueling morning of toil at The Paragraph Factory which involved various combinations of the 26 letters of the alphabet.
Walked in the door and proudly proclaimed to The Other Half: “I’m normal.” The initial response may have been a barely perceptible...

Thank goodness for the little things...and some of the big things, too...
These days, it sure seems like the little things mean a lot. For example, last Friday morning, yours truly made a quick visit to one of our local retailers. Had to pick up a few essentials...as in Goldfish crackers.

WARNING: This week’s column is unusually long, which might suggest that it is unusually good...or maybe just more unusual than usual...so...off we go...
...two bees...or not two bees...
...that is not a question...just an observation. We saw two bees buzzing around on clover in our front yard last...
Dear readers: Hi. How are you doing? Well, I hope. This week, we are going to have “the talk.” Yup. The birds. And the bees. Well, a “B.” And a bug, too.
