There’s More Than One Way to Defy Gravity

Posted on by Neal Saye

So this afternoon, HR (Husband Robert, to the uninitiated), Ex-wife Donna and I went to see the current top-grossing film in the nation, Wicked: For Good.

We got our popcorn and headed for Auditorium One, when we decided we REALLY needed photo documentation (well, perhaps I alone decided that, but HR and Donna went along).

Not the greatest photo quality, but (spoiler alert for the rest of the post) I’m with the two Loves of My Life

In a weird way, just the three of us out together on a movie date is … Defying Gravity.

it may look dark in this theatre, but … it’s really not.

“It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down”

I Have Been.

Smashed

Taking the trash out into the alley behind our place, I ran into this …

“Uh oh,” I thought, “there’s a story here somewhere.”

A discarded (before Halloween!) strange-looking jack-o’-lantern hunkering down at the feet of a thoroughly smashed mirror.

I moved closer, snapping a few photos (I’m not sure why).

“How very sad,” I cringed, “and somebody’s in for some bad luck!”

“You obviously know not of that which you speak,” a crystal clear voice came from the shards.

I walked away, educated.

This Is Why He’s Not My President

Posted on by Neal Saye

Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power. cnn

The president and Vice President JD Vance this weekend both posted AI memes to social media depicting Trump in a crown. The one Trump shared was a mocked-up vision of the president flying a fighter jet emblazoned with “KING TRUMP appearing to dump raw sewage on protesters. cnn

This Horrific Embarrassment is a President of the United States?

Bathroom Basking

Posted on by Neal Saye

A blog category about finding “interesting decor” in various bathrooms I’ve come across.

So yesterday, Robert and I drove over to Bluffton, South Carolina to attend my daughter Amy’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for expansion of her Savannah- based medical company, Coastal Care Partners.

Afterwards, we had lunch at our VERY favorite fried chicken restaurant on the planet, Cahill’s Market and Chicken Kitchen. (I love its name.)



Cahill’s is a working farm.

Fall greens

Yum times 100.

At my age, I always pay careful attention to the whereabouts of the nearest restroom.

Restroom? Do you really rest in a restroom?

And here are a few other synonyms for restroom …

merriam-webster.com

Bog?! Jakes?!

Anyway, before leaving Cahill’s and driving back to Savannah, of course I had to visit the, the … garderobe.

And look what I Halloween-y found!

Chicken made out of beer bottle caps. And why wouldn’t you? 

I left the, the … watercloset, relieved and in a bit more of the upcoming holiday spirit.

Repressive Evil Has Its Hold on the “United” States

Posted on by Neal Saye

I simply don’t understand our federal government’s Administration of Hatred.

Crosswalk by Georgia Voice

WHY would these people take something born out of LOVE, the gay flag, and “recreate it” as … terrorism?

It makes NO sense.

Except perhaps in the twisted minds of authoritarian strongmen dictators and their blind-to-truth followers.

An excerpt from the disturbing article …

advocate.com

Here’s the link to the full disturbing article:

https://www.advocate.com/news/trump-considers-pride-flag-bans

And here’s the beautiful Progress Flag the article references, along with the meaning behind the colors …

Maybe I’m stupid, but I don’t quite get how …

LIFE

HEALING

SUNLIGHT

NATURE

HARMONY

SPIRIT

And inclusive Love directed toward Indigenous Peoples, People of Color and Transgender People …

… are terroristic threats.

This is fascist insanity beyond belief.

But this is my country too, and I call upon …

HR and his megaphone

… all true patriots to condemn this cancerous Avalanche of Hatred that Trump and his cronies are unleashing upon our nation and its very soul.

Long Live Love

You Know You’re Getting Older …

… when your daughter asks you to pose AS A SENIOR CITIZEN for some “professional photos” for new advertising for the Savannah medical company she founded and runs, Coastal Care Partners.

Me posing with one of Amy’s doctors, orthopedist Dr. Brandon, pretending to be happy about my (real) arthritic knee pain.

And look (!), here I am with a very cool home caregiver, again smiling, although I’m apparently old and bedridden.

It took all my acting chops to pull off such a difficult and challenging role.

Here’a a link to Amy’s very cool business website:
