Carlos’ knee has been bothering him and he spoke to his doctor who said it sounds like arthritis. Well, Carlos loathes aging—though the alternative isn’t fun—and didn’t like that diagnosis, so he made an appointment with a Bone and Joint doctor here in Camden. Last Friday we saw the doctor—and I’ll cut to the end here and say that doctor said it appears to be arthritis—and as we waited in the exam room, chatting, I looked across the room and saw this: Two different shoes. Two.DIFFERENT.Shoes! Luckily, Carlos doesn’t take himself too seriously, and even showed off his new style to the doctor!  |

Part of the inheritance from my father’s estate arrived in
South Carolina this week—that’s it up there—and I was happy to see it. This Seth Thomas Mantle Clock was purchased by my mother and
father on their honeymoon in 1955 … so it’s been in our family for nearly 70
years. For a long while the clock didn’t work, though it would
mysteriously chime every so often, but when I got my first job in high school,
I decided to steal the clock from the house and have it fixed and then gift
it back to the family on Christmas morning. Luckily, no one missed it for the couple of weeks it was
missing, and then on Christmas day, I got up early, wound the clock and set the
time, and then when it went off at 7AM, and actually chimed the correct number,
I told my family what I had done. My Dad said then and there that the clock would be mine, and
here it is. |

Rosita is not a fan of the clock. After it arrived at the
house I unpacked it and would it and set in on Carlos’ antique desk in the
living room—our mantle is a wee bit too shallow for this clock—and every time
it chimed that first day, Rosita would tear out of the room and disappear into
the master bedroom closet. For all her bravado, she a scared little Puddy Tat! |

Ladies and Gentleladies, the first photo of the new First Family, featuring, right there, circled in red, the new First Lady “Elonia Musk.” The nickname follows a flurry of palace intrigue around Musk’s, AKA Leon Skum’s, appearance in a “family photo” that featured the X owner but not once-and-future First Lady Melanie. The “First Lady” moniker picked up steam as rumors swirled that Musk’s online nemesis author, Stephen King, trolled him on X with that new name, and Musk banned him from his rightwingnut hate platform. So much for Elonia’s calls for Free Speech, eh?  |
