What the #@*%$ Part 2

It's a quiet Saturday. I got most of my errands done this morning including my running and since noon there has been a steady rain. It's 66 outside now and all of the windows are closed. I'm tempted to turn on the heat but I resist and don a sweatshirt and sweatpants. I make myself a cup of tea and settle down in my easy chair. It's somewhat dark outside due to the thick rain clouds. I turn on the light by my chair and begin to work on the Star Ledger's new 16x16 Soduko. Ah, so relaxing. Life is good. I take a break to rest my eyes and get up to stretch my legs. I walk past the calendar on the wall and see......JUNE 20TH!?!?!?!?!?!??!

DUCK!!!!!!

I had finished my run this morning and was doing my post-run walk thru Verona Park when I passed a couple of trees and heard some birds screeching. I thought nothing of it until I felt something brush against the top of my head. I turned and saw a red-winged blackbird flying away. He landed on a branch and eyed me up for another pass. Either I was near his nest or he liked sweat soaked tops of heads. He came in again but I faced him the whole way and he just fluttered above me for a few seconds and then flew away. I continued my walk without any further encounters. I'll take a detour next time!!

What the #@*%$

I settle down in my tv-watching chair tonight with a six pack and a just-delivered pizza and I flip on my old boob tube to watch my favorite show "Keeping Up With the Kranepools". And nada. Nothing on the screen. What the -----! I guess I'm going up on the roof tomorrow to look at the antenna. Geeez.
