I can magnify with optics or reduce with diet pills,
but there is no solution to another of my ills.
When I’m feeling challenged by a flurry of activity,
overwhelmed and harried due to my proclivity
to stave off any tedium by means of overbooking,
with one too many bubbling pots on my stovetop cooking,
there is one solution that is valid and concrete.
I need to find a method to turn down the heat!
Prompt words today are magnify, optics, flurry, tedium, concrete and when.

Guest Blog: Judy’s Keyboard 2.0
Howdy, folks, ForgottenMan here. Remi, who y’all know as Judy, Skyped me this message a few minutes ago:
She was scurrying out the door to join two friends for comida at Quinta San Carlos on the southwest shore of Lake Chapala. Of course, faithful readers will remember her earlier post regarding those well-worn key caps HERE.
Note from Judy: Unless you enlarge the photo, it may not be obvious to you that I did not buy new keys or keycaps. I actually typed the missing letters out and copied them, glued them to my keys and then covered them with tape. We’ll see how long they last. Thanks, Forgottenman, for doing my blog chores!!!
And if you’d like to check out her lunch destination, you can read about it and see photos HERE.
I Love This!!!!

He’s an agent of enchantment, the guru of his flock—
a professor who can mesmerize with ordinary talk.
A master of expression, his descriptions weave their spells
that hold students in their thrall through the stories that he tells.
They copy down in notebooks each word that he has shared,
humbled by the wisdom of the heart that he has bared.
They will never know that their stunning visionary
is inspired by Wikipedia as well as Wiktionary.
Prompt words today are copy, description, enchantment, flock, professor and express.

Brother and Sister
When I left home this morning, brother and sister were curled up tight on their cushion on the the garage cabinet.
Looking Back. Do You Remember?
Do you Remember…..
When I was little, life seemed like one long summer day,
Hot water bottles?
Floating around in innertubes?.
Spending hours in reflection?
Sitting in the grass and looking for four leaf clovers?
Riding around in the back of a jeep with the top off?
When your only phone was in the kitchen?
Those pump-action metal toy ponies?
Your first love?
Holding my cousin Sarah.
Dressing up?
Parties in your unfinished basement?
Playing in the mud?

I don’t swallow your poetry, it’s lacking rhyme and meter.
You fancy yourself as a bard, but you are just a cheater.
Your words are all disposable. I’ve heard them all before.
Your melody discordant as you walk out the door.
I have a little fetish that I stick needles in.
They say it’s made expressly for expunging faithless men.
Prompt words today are bard, disposable, fetish, cheater, swallow and melody. Joke folks. Not autobiographical. If you want to read the original Love Charm, go HERE.
