This is my chance to share a personal insight. It is about me. There is a therapeutic value to blogging. And that’s a good thing.

Bob’s lost note.

Dear Bob;

If you are not getting acknowledgement from the Father and everything you say and do is all new, I want to give you my sin so that I may be forgiven. Bob, I know you will love me as Jesus loved his disciples two thousand years ago. I know the son of god is good and you are good and I will be safe as long as I wait for the coming of the Lord our father’s son who will live and reign to once again judge the living and the dead.

Thanks for your words, they have been helpful more than you know.

Pronunciation of Leila

I’m sorry I do not have a lot to say. I needed to learn to say Leila. It came out like Lila. We met during her last year in college in 1990.

Her boyfriend said, “I think it’s leela.”

I said, “no that doesn’t sound right.” So, I didn’t get the correct pronunciation of her name for many years.

Dr. Seuss has that ei combination in his last name also. The faculty at his college probably made no mistake with the pronunciation of Geisel. See unofficial Biography which I wrote – God help me if there are any typos.

Finely, I imagine that you expect me to have some insight about the way in which the ei combination functions? Well, it might slow down and then resume.

P.s. I did travel through Oregon in the late spring of 1993. And, I did think at that time I was meeting a great author. Please take the Dr. Seuss Bio seriously; he did travel for a while on a motorcycle around England.

CRAB SALAD Troika

CRAB SALAD Troika

  1. Imitation Crab
  2. Summer Yellow Squash
  3. Cabbage

Prepare squash: Slice in half and core out the seedy interior until the peeling and a half inch are remaining. Slice long way and add correctly sized pieces to boiling water. Items may be added to the squash cooking for flavor. The squash should be cooked well. At least until the body of the squash is translucent. Possible flavorings; butter, onions, and garlic cloves can be added to the water, but should be removed before adding the squash to the salad.

Next: combine the three main ingredients appropriately in a mixing bowl. Also add cilantro. The Troika plan is for the three colors to appear in the salad: Pink, Yellow, and Green.

  1. Mayonnaise
  2. Cream Cheese
  3. Sesame Oil
  4. Cilantro

Dressing: In a separate mixing bowl combine cream cheese, mayonnaise and sesame oil and blend well. Make the dressing separately and add it to the salad just prior to serving. Since it is a seafood salad, lemon may be added to taste if the dressing is to thick.

Mormon Plates

Next Month I will purchase a shovel. Why should I buy a shovel? The Mormon plates are a little bit below my Hobby-Room at home!

Ace Hardware Shovel

First they are buried deep at about six feet.  Along my property border, which is a wall, I will have to dig from the neighbors side down and about three feet underneath the slab because the plates are on my property side.

And, after a few discussions and that my Father worked for Trace Manufacturing, a maker of printed circuit boards, and knows a lot about copper, I honestly would like to dig a little.  I know that the Mormon plates are mostly made of copper and lead, and that they are rectangular.

The idea is that people will pay for Uncle Tom’s Service. The classified for this business would read some similar to the following:

  • You could never have a grander entrance than with Uncle Tom’s Move-In Service.
  • Uncle Tom is the “Welcome Wagon” of the highest order!

Working-Out Anyway!

Avoid Hugh at all costs; right? Okay, so I have to take care of a few things. I have the den walls. Could you just accept that I have things to do. In an earlier post, I said that there is a house to be designed. That is my priority.

I’m supposed to plan my week around the Sundays. Things are not going by the book though; that is no big surprise. There is the clothes-pin plan. The ‘go to the doctor to get the respect for the clothes-pin plan’ that comes later has been moved up to ‘no other possible remedies besides the clothes-pin plan.’ I’ve made the perfect tool out of Popsicle sticks. I do not think there are any updates about how it’s going because there are no updates. In fact there is little evidence that I even gave the perfect tool since when asked I’m told that the perfect tool was lost. If I think it is in use, there is not enough time for any remedy to have an affect. Like more than five minutes would be longer than any time I have noticed. So, in spite of the simple fact that nothing is happening, what do you suggest I do? Give another tool? I already know the exact adjustments for comfort and effectiveness.

I guess I have to continue with my life. I do not know if my Judgment is correct. It is probably not correct. I did establish a genuine concern for the den walls. I currently hold the belief that if the Boards were lost, they will appear at home depot for everyone to use. That would be messy. I would not want to make any messes. The particular boards which I am referring to are a premium interior design product. They are not for the general population. I have had my whole life to grow in appreciation for them. And, I have taken responsibility for them to be recycled.

There may be interest in this project; though information helpful, I know that people do not generally interfere with other peoples lives. This is the case for the house. Did you think that wood is wood? Well, let me tell you that things are working out. And I believe that we really care. Just not directly. So, I am productive. I am satisfied. I am working. And things are good. So, are you going to be ready for Fathers Day?
