Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 10, 2014

No good can come from this.

He’s considering a navel intervention.

Allen needs to do that in private.

Al S….. One who practices skepsis is a skeptic, unless he’s English, in which case he’s a sceptic….

So I’d think one who practices omphaloskepsis is an “omphaloskeptic”… (or “omphalosceptic”, of course, in the UK.)

Although…. it’s possible that we could call him an “omphaloskepsisist”

Ooooh, my head hurts.I’m on my way to the Tiki…I think we’ll run a special on Fuzzy Navels.

I see that Betty Ann has buried herself in her book, trying to be as unaware of Allen as possible.

To that end, she’s going to stop reading at 4:17 pm and pour herself a nice, sweet, but of course, purely medicinal, shot of Rose Hasselburt’s blackberry cordial…

And until that time, she wishes to contemplate no navels …in fact, no body parts at all….not even her own…and certainly not Allen’s.

And stop squeezing those spots!.Omphaloskepsis isn’t so much the contemplation of the navel, as the Chakra that is located in that region.

I thought he was picking nits… Susan, I’ll have a couple of double somethings, it looks like I’m going to have an interesting day.

First in his class at the Navel Academy

…and lint removal.

Allen has become caught in an infinite loop of Allen becoming aware of Allen becoming aware of Allen becoming aware of Allen…

Enlightenment in 3… 2… Susan, I’ll have a pitcher of summery Pina Coladas over there in the corner, please.

There’s a new car wash down the streat , I see.

I did that once…..still paying off my therapy bills…..

Spot, the dog; anybody?.http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/jun/10/spot-the-dog-eric-hill-dies-86

Allen’s change is all under the cushion.

Another very busy day. Tomorrow I may get out the sewing machine for a few other small projects. I fixed the vacuum today and want to use that AND do some groceries tomorrow.

I agree with all- time for a good stiff drink (I had a Sessions dark with lunch, but ready for gin on the rocks and a little TV while I chill.

See y’all tomorrow!

Hay… ah seas mah cuzins ar bizee washin cars fer tips outside of SteLs WWOI Annex…. of corsets fur Allens rehab bills down at teh Tiki…. hees got no credit leff….

Allen contemplates eating a navel orange next.Good late evening Ballard Dears.
