A small corner.

Grey fog under the sun: 

 

It feels as though I have nothing at all on my mind today. Except maybe I'll go out later and buy a Zeppole for tomorrow. 

 

Isn't it interesting how the war in Iran has receded into the background. Except of course if you are watching your stock portfolio.  

 

Here’s an oldie: What's the best way to make a small fortune on Wall Street? Start off with a large one. 

 

The Question: 

Quick, name the wives of Henry the VIII.

How Ironic. Venezuela beats the USA to take the Baseball Classic Championship. Red Sox young superstar Anthony had a chance to win it but struck out to end the game; Will  Trump install Baseball Team Manager as new President? 

 

It seems to me that restaurant food prices are up about a 1/3. Your basic, humble fish and chips have become a considered purchase.  

 

Real life can be tricky. 

 

Nato is a defense mechanism, not a start-a-war mechanism. 

 

Everything seems cloudy to me. There are too many publicists fighting for territory.  

 

This Tids is so anemic you’d think I'm nursing a hangover from yesterday’s green bash. But, no, I have no reason at all. It’s just that I think the world around us should be simpler and there are too many people trying to make it complex. And frankly, I can't get my arms around it. I worry about the people of Iran. There is not a lot of news coming out of there about the effects on regular people. There is possible repression for sure. And I have heard stories about food shortages and their inability to get their money. How do you wra your arms around this story when there is so much mor to know. 

 

Well, it will be officially spring in two days, and the early budding daffodils still look strong against the gcold. Aren't flowers amazing. 

 

The Answer: 

Number 1 was Catherine of Aragon who was followed by Anne Boleyn. Next were Jane Seymore, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were beheaded. Seymore died naturally. Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves were divorced. And Parr survived.  

 

And just remember that Cleopatra was not Egyptian. I guess with that it is time to go. Tune in tomorrow, It might be worth it.
