I hadn't thought ahead to Day #3000 of this daily blog.

It seems daunting enough to face the laptop daily, 
day after day with very few ideas. Somehow something pops 
up to fill a part of the cheeseburger format of this silly blog.

Today I got a brief comment in the form of a question.

Jim, who I think remembers me starting this blog 7+ years ago,

said: "Thanks, as always, jl! As you look ahead...

what is the date of your blog post #3000?" I replied:

"Ouch! That makes my head hurt! You have a mean streak I see. 

I should ask Grand Hunk #2, as he is a math whiz, but I will 
take this on as long as you're not going to give me a grade?

I think I can come fairly close. Hold on 5 minutes?

Day 3000 will be on September 13, 2020. Am I right?"

He replied:  "guess we'll find out................."

Jake/GH#2 would do it in his head in a flash, 
I had to use a pencil.

And, there is probably an app for that?

Just because ...

Smile for Monday ...

I start with an apology ... today as 

I was getting ready to go to a doctor appointment,

I heard a tv host, who I generally admire say 

that she didn't like people posting about their families 

& that she took it as a form of bragging, like 

"look what we have, look how cool we are."

 

It stopped me in my tracks, because as you may know, 

I post whatever is going on, family, art, karate, 

whatever is happening. 

Our family is generally crazy & funny, and ordinary.

I do post about galleries, trips & even going to Costco.

I don't post about when I am down, when I am, 

or any other negatives, as I try to keep 

this little blog light & funny, if possible.

So if it came across as bragging, I do apologize.

That said, I thought I would reiterate my blog format ...

Developed in 2016, I call it the "cheeseburger format" ...

I think of each blog post as a hamburger!

The top bun is some piece of my artwork.

This because early on I was told that some liked the art part.

This part of the sandwich is easy, as I do art pretty much 
every day & when I don't, I have files!

The middle or meat & cheese, is a few sentences ...

observations, often just nonsense, so I keep it short.

Short because early on, 2170 + days ago ...

I asked daughter, WW, if she had read my blog?

In that daughter voice that you know, if you have one ...

she said, "Mom, I am so busy!" And she was right, she was!

But, I said in my well-practiced Mom voice ...

"Erin, it takes less than a minute!"

And so, I keep it short, usually. I know you are all busy.

Sometimes there are short garnishes/condiments as it were,

happenings, upcoming stuff, FB-TBT, dojo tally etc.

The bottom bun is the "smile" for the day.

Everyone seems to like that, and ...

 

and I have a huge funny file.

Thanks so much for visiting today, 
I do appreciate you.

Hope to see ya tomorrow?

A smile for Friday ...
