I admit it. I’ve been trying to write blogs lately, but:
- There was Christmas.
- My son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren drove 12 hours to visit.
- My daughter, who has started reading my blog, says all my blogs are the same.
- I keep coming up with ideas that are incomplete—which got me thinking.
Some of the Beatles songs, including much of Abbey Road were actually the parts of songs that had never fully developed. Therefore I tried to piece together ideas:
My New Year’s resolutions. After “I will never be a staffer for Donald Trump,” I got stuck.
I tried to write about the era of Downton Abbey and how people were once born into wealth and/or married into it, and how that is rare today.
Then I thought of:
- The Bushes
- The Clintons
- Miley Cyrus
- Jaden Smith
- Colin Hanks
- Drew Barrymore
- Prince Charles
Which brought me back to square one, so, attempting to steal from the Beatles, using the tune from “She Came in through the Bathroom Window”:
My son and daughter trashed the bathroom,
I think they lost my silver spoon,
So I sat there and I pondered,
I should not get mad so soon.
My kids have always been expensive,
Cost me more than I could know,
But I wouldn’t change a minute,
So now I have these joys to show
Is it any wonder?
Let me close this year with my thanks to God for my NORMAL family (the emphasis is there to remind me that despite the condition of their bedrooms and bathroom, my kids are normal; on the other hand, given their outstanding academic, athletic, and musical accomplishments, I owe it to them to differentiate between normal and average).
For you, may 2015 be the year that was just before when everything became wonderful.
