Southern (US) Men: A Link

Good evening, folks. Forgottenman here again feeding Judy’s blog a bit. She just asked me to repost my blog from earlier tonight. Normally, I’d just post the video here, but I have some commentary to share on it. HERE ’tis. Happy reading & viewing!

The Big Box of Crayons

Good evening, folks. Forgottenman here again feeding Judy’s blog a bit. She asked me to repost this video I posted on my blog. This lights up my day so strongly that I must share!

Reblog from 10 Years Ago – Time’s Fool

Hello again, folks. Forgottenman still here feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away in Quintana Roo. Here’s a poem she did 10 years ago on this date. I’m happy to share it again. I love the idea of reblogging this old piece, and how it is about moving in time, which I suppose is exactly what is happening with this repost! Happy reading!

Time’s Fool

At the Restaurant and Back Again

Good evening, folks. Forgottenman here again feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away in Quintana Roo. Here’s something she sent me early this morning:

We drove quite a far distance on dirt roads to find this lakeside restaurant—twice! We were unsuccessful the first time, and in the end, once we found it, the walk from the parking space was long and hilly and the food wasn’t very good, but I did at least get these three photos. It seemed to me the woman eating alone at this table was unaware of the cat perched on the chair at its other end. Her drink looked good. Mine wasn’t, and I must admit, I left all but the first two bites of my meal uneaten and drove home and made a sandwich!

Ah, this also fits nicely with JohnBo’s Cellpic Sunday prompt.

Reblog from 10 Years Ago Today

Good evening, folks. Forgottenman here again feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away in Quintana Roo. Here’s a poem she did 10 years ago on this date. I’m happy to share it again.

At the Crossroads

Reblog for SoCS prompt “Tower”

Howdy, folks. Forgottenman here yet again feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away in Buenavista, Quintana Roo, for a month to concentrate on finishing her Ethiopian memoir. Earlier I posted links to a couple of her older blogs, and here’s yet another, this time from her time spent in La Manzanilla on Jalisco’s Pacific shore.

Linda Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt this week is “tower”, so I searched Judy’s blog for that word and this post from 2016 popped up. Happy reading, y’all!

Tower of Bobble

Black Sun and Bright Moon

Good evening, folks. Forgottenman here again feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away in Buenavista, Quintana Roo. She sent me these photos of tonight’s full moon a few minutes ago, and I think they dovetail nicely with the publication a few days ago in El Ojo del Lago (reblog?) of a piece she wrote about an eclipse two years ago. You can read her original Eclipses and Visions blog here.

Some Photos in Quintana Roo

Howdy, folks. Forgottenman here again feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away in Buenavista, Quintana Roo. She sent me these photos of their time yesterday & today with this note.

“We spent the night in Bacalar so we could go out into the lake on a pontoon boat for 4 hours. We swam in the crystal clear water and cruised around. The mushrooms were growing on the banisters of the little hotel where we stayed for the night.”

Reblog from 10 years ago today

Howdy, folks. Forgottenman here feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away. Earlier I posted a link to a blog she wrote 5 years ago. Here’s one from 10 years ago. (Ok, I had to do repost this one – I snapped the photo she used to illustrate it!) I hope it’s new to some of you. Happy reading!

Built-in Guilt-in

Reblog from 5 years ago today

Howdy, folks. Forgottenman here feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away in Buenavista, Quintana Roo, for a month to concentrate on finishing her Ethiopian memoir. I offered to do some guest (re)blogs of some of her ancient blogs that might garner a few new reads. First up is this poem she wrote five years ago today to a series of prompt words. I loved it then and still do. I hope it’s new to some of you. Happy reading!
