Monday July 27 Musing

Hello Everyone:

I can feel a headache coming on. This usually means there's going to be a change of weather-hotter, I think. Regardless, I'll just take an aspirin before I go to bed and try to sleep it off. The blogosphere was good today. I finished off one post and had time for another short post. I even squeezed in applying for a job.  In all, I guess, a productive afternoon.  The Brit BF was being his usual flirty self. Mom still can't stand the fact that he's black and not Jewish.  She's okay with him being English and happy that he's a he, not a she. LOL.  As far as his skin color is concerned, I told mom that she can take it up with the Man in White, not like that's going to help. I don't think mom is a racist, homo-, xenophobe, she comes from a different time and place where nice Jewish boys and girls did what they were told, no questions asked.  I do what I'm told when the mood hits me or the occasion warrants it. Otherwise, it kind of in one ear, out the other.  I sort of called out the Los Angeles Conservancy today in a post, in a good way. I posted an article about the top ten cities for historic preservation, which Los Angeles is not among them. In the post, I playfully called out the Conservancy, saying we got to something about this situation. It'll be interesting to see if they bite. I can just see the reply, something along the lines of "you're right."  I would then gladly offer my blogger/social media services (in exchange for wages, of course) to help make Los Angeles better at preservation.  Oh, the things I do to get attention.  Hey, a little of the right attention never hurt.  In other news, the niece's birthday is this weekend. It's a big one, number 18. She'll legally be an adult. This is another cause for a mild freak out on my part.  Time for the tried and tired "it only seems like yesterday that...and now she's..."  Please, I'll let get all misty eye while I just pretend to show interest. I think sis maybe doing something on Saturday, the actual day of the niece's birthday. I'll wait until I get the text or email. I still need an aspirin.
