Ah so to those dwellers still dancing in shadows on the wall come close I have a tale to tell. It's about my drama and what's been keeping me away I call this tale "Mama's Drain Drama" My sewer won't stop backing up no matter what I do and  believe me I'm so tired of disinfecting my basement I could scream. The first time in years it backed up was last February so I thought okay it needed to be snaked out. So in comes the sewer man plodding down the stairs with his equipment an hour later he was done and said I'd be good for a year maybe two. So imagine my surprise when it happened again in August and this time the guy said shaking his head, "I don't understand everything was clear but maybe it was from all the rain. Anyway your good to go," (notice the pun). But again in December I wanted to cry but stupid me I called the same guy. "It's all clear in your house right out to the city line. Maybe it was from the cold," he said this time. But when it happened in January I was really upset and this time called a different guy but since everything was clear this guy recommended I have this company with the camera come to inspect the drain and sewer line. Oh yeah each time the other guy came he charged me $150 but the January guy said no charge; he'd only snaked out the line and there was nothing and he didn't know what the problem was, honesty; oh my,my! Anyway for my afternoon movie viewing today I get to look inside my sewer; yuck!  I've been plunking on my guitar to get over all this and now a tune has developed but the words are starting to make me laugh; sort of X rated but nowadays it could be a hit; ha, ha! I hope you enjoyed my tale of woe; I'm hoping for a "happily-ever-after" ending but I'll have to wait and see (ha, ha) what camera/sewer guy adds.

 Cave-dwellers post their comments/caveman-fantasies at a Group that Roger Cox started a good while back; some groups have Rules, which they will enforce, about what sorts of things they consider appropriate; Roger's Cave is sort of laid-back, when it comes to Rules(primitive, one might say)!

 The Retirement-Online Community is filled with non-writers, that write every day, in order to maintain contact with their retired friends, that they met(and only know about from) being online; what I like best about this 'space,' is that almost nobody there is using a SmartPhone(G_d how I hate those, now ubiquitous, DEVICES!).

Last night, determined not to retire early again, I took SAMMY out in search of the downtown section's night-life; some networking was done at the HAVANA LOUNGE, where smoking cigars is encouraged.

 The lighting was not the best for photography, but imagery was promised, to accompany the remarks I made in my ARTICLE, about this new club on Broad Street. Briana was our server, and 'posed' under the spot shining down on their stage.

Of course, any expos-A of Albany night-life, must eventually end up here:

Grabbing a quick smoke, outside, you observe the activity through plate glass.


Much warmer inside, with the rest of the FAMILY!

BROWN PAPER BAG

Image
At the top of this brown bag, useful for writing paper when there was nothing else available, across a flap folded down about an inch, appears what looks like some kind of outline, with numbered points: 1 ) a 'statement' about the QUALITY of the contrasted experiences 2 ) SCIENCE is a sterile approach to evaluating thought-experience 3 ) the 'mask' is the reason for the Black & White quality of Dorothy's Kansas 'life' which moves on to 'unmasked' delirium 4 ) MIND is both 'spiritual' & shared 5 ) JUL  16  - A young Judy Garland recorded a version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" during the production of a spectacular feature film based on one of Baum's books; it's about a place...  a special place where we all would very much like to go; the word  "Somewhere" implies that there is no map to guide us; no one  set of instructions for how  to get there. - Those opening scenes, where we first meet a

CHAPTER XXV

Image
As the month of September waned, the writer formerly known as UNDERDAWG , or "U," wrote a long letter to ALWAYS . He'd taken care not to reveal too much of himself, but to indicate to any snoop  reading the letter that what had not been said indeed posed a threat to the Prosecutor's team. As the weeks crept on by, DC ( this writer )  became increasingly aware of his own confusion; was he repeating himself like some senile old codger? This letter spelled out, to his 'former inmate-correspondent,' the facts and probable significance of the 'recent ( SEP 16 ) ' visit by Deputy Cruz; another account  of this propitious contact with the 'authorities' was carefully reconstructed  in the pages of this journal. Writing this third fictional  account of the author's meeting just underscores the confusion-factor's encroachment; an element  of this story fostered by advanced age, isolation from the 'normality' in the free world and this

CHAPTER VII of POD PEOPLE

Image
OUTLINE  for  CHAPTER  VII Illustration:print media ad for 1953 Ford p/u w/white walls; all happy onlookers growing sadder ( use digital effects ) and then fading until the town is dusty and deserted just like in “The Last Picture Show” SCENE  ONE JAKE’s truck roars to life on his second try, and as the jail facility grows ever smaller in his back glass, strains of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT’s big hit “Mr. Wendall” escape from his ‘popping’ AM-radio. SCENE  TWO Instead of confinement in that tiny cell, JAKE sped past all his usual ‘haunts’ which are now ‘old waste places (Isaiah 58:12 ) ;’ he realizes that he is searching for old friends, but none can be found. Note:the next three scenes are in reverse order chronologically (perhaps provide date/time so reader will not be so confused) ,  ...but the narrative plods straight forward as if ‘normal time’ is just an unnecessary ‘confusion’ SCENE  THREE JAKE finds out, through an intermediary that is hollering through o
