    I’ve never seen a kid think this way. Resolving to watch more sunsets and less TV is really an adult thing.

    And there isn’t a thing wrong with eating cereal for lunch.

    Who is this girl? Apparently, I don’t know her.

    According to Reader’s Digest via Google (https://www.rd.com/culture/sos-meaning/). SOS or . . . – - – . . . has no specific text attached. It was chosen for its function. It is similar to the V for Victory (. . .-) which was chosen for it’s symbolic usage by WWII resistance fighters, then carried by BBC London, then brought to public notice by Winston Churchill. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_at_Sea) The first 4 notes of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony echo the pattern, so it was a natural for the opening theme to the Victory at Sea tv documentary series on NBC in the 1950’s, just in time to catch my teenage eye. Fascinating series and a different perspective on WWII from the Hollywood versions and the edited news films.

    Yeah, I know. More than you wanted to read but even all these years later, the seemingly random conjunction of these themes still resonates.

    I remember celebrating May Day in elementary school in the USA by dancing around the May Pole, weaving bright streamers into a pretty design – until the USSR started doing their May Day parade show of strength – then we stopped doing it, and as far as I know, it has not been done since. That was about 50 or so years ago. Anyone else ever do that? Does anyone know if it is still being done in the USA today?

     This summer I will fully commit to learning the entire oeuvre of Jimmy Buffett, starting with this shirt.

    “Tra la, it’s May, the lusty month of May / That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray

    “Tra la, it’s here, that shocking time of year / When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear”

    —Guenevere’s celebratory song in Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot

    THIS summer, I’m enjoying doing just the things I want to do, and few of the things that I would do to keep the peace with my spouse. THIS summer, she made reservations for us to take a trip, and I was able to say: “If you go, I hope you enjoy yourself, because there will be two weeks of quarantine after you get back before I’ll spend time in the house with you.” … and she understood, even agreed after thinking about it. And we aren’t going. THIS summer when she suggests going into town “shopping” I just say “Okay, if you must. Have a good time.” … and more than half the time she understands and decides to stay home.

    It’s bliss.
