Yes, I have missed an entire week of blog posts. In my defense, I have no defense. Right now I am fighting yesterday’s migraine (these things rarely last more than a day, so I feel quite ill-used) and wondering if neglecting my morning’s walk to make a blog post is really the right thing to do. My fingers, happily dancing across the keyboard, say it is. That voice in my head that continually badgers me probably says not, but I can’t really hear it this morning.
A few days ago I was feeling less than adequate but wanted to take a walk. It was the weekend so a long walk was eligible. I said to myself, “Take a long walk.” And a voice in my head said, “Off a short pier.” The voice did not have a mean or snarky tone, though. It was kind of like Drew Barrymore at the beginning of E.T., when she was repeating what her older brother said, “A deformed kid.” A quiet, cute little voice. Remember little Drew Barrymore in E.T.? Another Barrymore to love (regular readers know I adore Lionel Barrymore and am quite the fan of John and Ethel).
I love that guy!
Here is Lionel Barrymore in Devil Doll. I don’t have a picture of any of the other Barrymores.
But here is a Freudian typo I almost made: Marrybore instead of Barrymore. Like you were going to marry somebody boring. I may use that in a murder mystery sometime. I often make up silly names, like Jeribilt for a set designer (just a hint of my upcoming murder mystery).
I see I am over 250 words. Score! I think I will bill this as a Non-Sequitur Thursday and hope it is the beginning of a new era of daily blogging for your host, Mohawk Valley Girl.
PS. I was inspired to continue the blog by a comment on a previous post. I have the best readers!
And I still have time for a short walk.
