HATE UM AGAIN

IT WAS A BLEAK FRIDAY MORNING AND THE ASSHOLES WERE OUT IN DROVES.
WOMEN WHO DON'T LOOK WHILE CROSSING, CARS THAT GO THRU THE STOP
AND WHEN I AM HOLDING UP TRAFFIC FOR PEDESTRIANS WITH KIDS,
THEY STOP IN THE CROSSWALK NOT BEFORE IT.
SO MUCH IN A HURRAY TO GO TO A JOB THEY CAN'T DO RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHEN THEY GET THERE THEY TALK AND HAVE COFFEE BEFORE THEY START..
..ASSHOLES ALL!

I DIDN'T HATE ANYBODY THIS MORNING! WHY?

I DIDN’T HATE ANYBODY THIS MORNING….WHY ????

ARTHUR AND HIS WIFE BARBARA CAME TO DINNER TUESDAY NIGHT.
ANNIE WAS IN PARIS AT THE AUTO SHOW AND SHE WENT TO PICK THEM UP AT THEIR HOTEL ON THE CHAMPS ELYSEE AT 6PM.
IT WAS RAINING CATS AND DOGS.

WHEN THEY GOT HERE AND RANG THE BELL, I WAS SO EXCITED I WAS PACING WAITING FOR THEM TO COME UP. I ALMOST CRIED WITH EXCITEMENTWHEN I OPENED THE DOOR , BUT HELD BACK THE TEARS OF JOY.
HE HASN’T CHANGED IN APPEARANCE IN 45 YRS AND 4 MONTHS, ONLY ADDED A BEARD.
HE LOST HIS BROOKLN ACCENT AND THEY BOTH ARE SMART, SOFISTICATED AND SUCCESSFUL.
THE NEXT DAY, ON WEDNESDAY ANNIE AND I WERE BOTH OFF? SO THEY CAME BY TRAIN TO OUR APPARTEMENT AND WE LEFT FOR NEMOURS TO SPEND THE DAY AND LATER VISIT FONTAINBLEAU.

WE SHOWED THEM THE HOUSE AND THE QUAI AND WALKED AROUND THE TOWN. FIRST WE WALKED TO THE MARKET BY THE RIVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN AND THEN TO THE VIEW OF THE CASTLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER. WE THEN WALKED BACK THRU TOWN AND SAW THE CASLE ENTRANCE AND THEN BACK TO THE HOUSE. I HAVN’T WALKED THAT FAR IN YEARS.

WE THEN LEFT FOR FONTAINBLEAU TO VISIT THE CASTLE.
WE HAD LUNCH FIRST IN A VERY NICE RESTAURANT AND THEY TREATED. WE LEFT THE RESTAURANT AT ABOUT TEN TO FOUR AND HAD ONLY ABOUT AN HOUR TO VISIT BEFORE CLOSING.
WE RUSHED AND DID THE INTERIOR AND THEN WALKED THE GARDENS FOR AWHILE TAKING PHOTOS AND THEN AROUND THRU TOWN BACK TO THE CAR.
I WAS EXASTED BUT REALLY FELT GOOD.
WE DROVE THEM BACK TO PARIS AND ARRIVED ABOUT 7:00 AND GOT BACK HOME BY 8:30.

ANNIE AND I WENT TO BED BY 10PM AND HAD A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
THAT’S WHY I WAS IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD THIS MORNING. I SPENT A NORMAL DAY WALKING, TALKING, KIDDING, AND NOT YELLING AT MY WIFE FOR SOME STUPID REASON.
WHAT A JOY. I CANNOT TRULY EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I WAS TO ENJOY THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS AND MY SPOUSE. EVERY DAY SHOULD BE AS GOOD AS THAT ONE.
THANK YOU BARBARA AND ART FOR GIVING ME THE BEST DAY IN YEARS.



BARBARA AND ART IN NEMOURS WITH THE CASTLE IN BACKGROUND

ELECTRICIAN

WELL WE ARE BACK FROM A WEEKEND AT THE HOUSE IN NEMOURS.
THE ELECTRICIAN SPENT SAT DOING SOME WORK IN THE 2 BEDROOMS. WE HAD A SPOTLIGHT TO PUT UP IN THE YARD , CEILING FIXTURES IN EACH ROOM AND REDOING 4 OUTLETS AND COVERING THE WIRES IN ONE OF THE ROOMS.

WELL HE DID THE WIREING AND IT TOOK HIM FROM 8H30 TO 18H TO DO ONLY THAT. THE SPOT AND FIXTURES WILL BE DONE NEXT SUNDAY...

FOR THAT WE PAID 260 euros.......WHOAH........
THIS WAS OFF THE BOOKS (NO TVA)
I ALMOST HAD A CAT CANIPTION AND EVEN THE WIFIE WAS SHOCKED AT HOW SLOW HE WORKED.....
IT AIN'T CHEAP!!!!!

THAT HOUSE IS BLEEDING US DRY.....BEFORE THEY COME IN THE euros GO OUT....
I HAVN'T LIVED THIS TIGHT SINCE 1961.....

I HOPE WE LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO ENJOY THIS PLACE TO THE FULLEST.
3 MORE YEARS MINIMUM TILL SHE RETIRES AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE FINISHED ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. .....BUT.....TIME WILL TELL
