Mom had to find something to photograph right from the deck... |
Mom and Dad tried to go somewhere interesting, but that didn't work, so Dad took this picture instead... |
Dad also managed to get an "out of this world" picture right from the deck too... ("Out of this world"... I just crack me up - that's C/2020 F3, or NEOWISE) |
Mom and Gill took the dogs to Hagg Lake |
Given everything else not going on, that must have been too much for BC... |
First, I was afraid...
I was petrified that I might be late getting the website updated. What? You thought I was going full Gloria Gaynor on you? Actually, Gloria Gaynor's real name is Gloria Fowles, and while you may (or may not, for that matter) know her for "I Will Survive", she is also closely related to Popeye the Sailor.
As you know, Popeye the Sailor was created by Elzie Crisler Segar in 1919. Elzie, despite what you might be thinking was not related to Bob. Besides Bob spells his last name with two ees. But, you might feel that Bob and Gloria have more in common since they both had top pop songs in 1979 (and if you combine their hits you would get "I Will Survive Old Time Rock and Roll" which is kind of funny, but if you really wanted to stretch for that year you could get a family of bad girls with hearts of glass that will survive and aren't gonna stop the good times 'til they get enough of that old time rock and roll at the YMCA with my Sharona... all while Rod wants to know if you think he's sexy...
But now you're wondering what Rod Stewart has to do with Gloria Gaynor... Nothing. I never said that he did have anything to do with her. But now you made me go and look, and don't you know you can find anything on the internet... Actually Rod & Gloria have Baron Raymonde in common. He played saxaphone for both of them... but more importantly, he played saxaphone in the original Blues Brothers Band! (What kind of music do you usually have here? Oh, we got both kinds. We got Country AND Western!)
Anyway, we were talking about Bob Seger, not Rod Stewart...
No... wait... we were talking about Popeye the Sailor. Note, that Popeye was not a sexist. He was NOT Popeye the Sailor MAN. He was just Popeye the Sailor. Not that I'm questioning his manliness! No! No! No! He was definitely a manly man's man kind of a guy... except of course when he was belting out his rendition of Gloria Gaynor's hit (remember Gloria, its a ramble about Gloria (but don't get me started on Arlo now...)) "I yam what I yam. I yam my own special creation. So come take a look. Give me the hook or the ovation. It's my world that I want to have a little pride in. My world and it's not a place I have to hide in. Life's not worth a damn... 'Til you can say I yam what I yam!"
I sure hope I can get out of the house soon...
