Okay, gang. I don’t really have much to post about today.
Yesterday was mostly about talking on the phone to everyone imaginable, and also getting the house ready for me to be going off to a job again (3 days a week).
You know, mostly this —
Oh, and you know, after I’d vacuumed my entire house — while my birth mom was here for 3 days:
SHE (when I got home from the airport): “I went ahead and vacuumed. Hope you don’t mind.”
I guess it’s hereditary — this nonstop vacuuming.

I’m really excited to get back into that store today and start learning again, gang.
I used to know every product in that store, what it was for, why it worked, why you might not need it, why you should stay away from it, or why it might save your life.
A lot of it, I still remember, but a whole lot of it I will have to re-learn. Plus, there’s new stuff out there that I need to find out about!
I’m also really excited to start wearing my regular clothes again!!
For the last 4 years, I’ve worn shirts with specific logos on them. I’d actually forgotten about some of the really pretty sweaters and fall clothes that I had because I hadn’t worn them in so long.
So that feels really great, too! Sort of like having a new wardrobe, but more like getting reacquainted with things I used to love.
I guess it’s called having a life…

Okay.
Sandra called yesterday to update me on the various things I will most likely need to go to Rhinebeck and NYC for in December and January. I’ll post more exact details here when I can.
Sandra’s cabaret at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in Times Square, in NYC, will still be happening in January, but I’m not sure of the exact date yet. (But another hotel stay is in my not-too-far-off future, gang!!)
And for the next week or ten days, when I’m not working in the store, I will be completing the editing of the M. Christian tribute anthology and turning that in.
After that, my guess is, I will need to focus on tightening the script for Sandra’s one-woman cabaret show (which includes a couple segments from our play, “The Guide to Being Fabulous”).

Okay!
From Ross K. Nichols Sunday School yesterday–
“Jesus made the Kingdom of God the centerpiece of his message. He said it was the reason he was sent, told his followers to seek it first, and taught them to pray for its coming. But where did the idea come from, what did it require, and was the work ever completed?”
The Kingdom of God: Jesus’ Unfinished Mission (52 mins):

And here’s this!
A couple from Phyllis Stein!

And regarding the t-shirt — in summer 1981, The Clash played a week-long gig at Bond’s in Times Square, which was one block from where I lived back then. Absolute pandemonium!

Upon first glance here, it almost looks like the family that smokes together, stays together!
However, Marlon isn’t really smoking…
Anyway!
A quite perky Keith, with family, in Germany in 1970!!!

And here’s this!
From Facebook, no doubt!!
And I think that perhaps this one is a little AI enhanced (?), but I still love it!

And that is actually it for the “here’s this’s” today.
And I’m guessing that I won’t have too many tomorrow, either. Unless of course the store has a firm policy now that staff members remain on their phones, scrolling through Instagram at all times…
I wouldn’t want to go against a firm policy or anything…
Anyway!!
Enjoy your Monday, wherever you are in the world, gang.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

Let’s close with this!!
It’s been all over Instagram lately, to promote the release of the 49th Anniversary, My Aim Is True, 5 CD Boxed Set!!
Elvis Costello, Watching The Detectives (Live On Top Of The Pops, October 11, 1977) Enjoy, gang!
