You Probably Think This Blog is About You

American singer-songwriter, Carly Simon, was born on this day in 1943.

It’s National Leon Day. As of today, we’re halfway to Christmas.

Lucky for me, I’ve already got one of the trees up and lights on the front porch.

I’m an overachiever that way.

This is where the paragraph goes where I talk about not being able to believe the year is half over and where does the time go and life is moving so quickly these days.

Now that we have that out of the way.

I’m personally enjoying summer. I’m not getting to the pool as often as I’d like, but I’m at least making it every weekend.

And I’ll have some visits to the amusement park as well.

But speaking of time moving quickly.

On this day in 1876, 300 men of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment under Lieutenant Colonel Armstrong Custer are wiped out by 5,000 Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho, led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Begun in 1948, the Crazy Horse Memorial was projected to be completed in 30 years. The original artist, Korczak Ziolkowski, passed away in 1982. Estimates now say the hand, arm, shoulder, hairline, and top of the horse’s head should be complete by 2037.

I can announce now that I’ll be appearing in The Sunshine Boys with River City Community Players in September. Details to follow, we’re still auditioning the rest of the cast.

I’ve also applied for my spooky season job which will run right up against the play and will take me to the Christmas season job.

Retirement? What retirement?

Oh….THAT retirement.

It just means that I should have more time to do the things I’m already doing whilst maintaining a 9-5 job.

Should.

I’m already feeling like I’m behind with my plans for the Santa season. I have some purchases to make and an upgrade to be completed on one of my suits. They should have been done by now.

Plus, I’m putting the word out that I’m ready to start booking for the season. Contact me now before it’s too late.

I swear I’m not making that up.

We still have a lot of summer left. Although I had to do a double take recently when I heard someone say that the Fourth of July fireworks (with these actually being on July 3rd) were a good way to wind down the summer.

Hold on there Rudolph. We’ve got three more months of summer and I plan to use them well.

See you at the pool. Or the river. Or the beach.

I’ll be the one with the Christmas catalogues.

Gateway Church congregation reeling after Robert Morris accused of sexually assaulting a child
CBS News
The congregation is still reeling from the news that their founding pastor was accused of sexually assaulting a young girl beginning in 1982 when she was just 12 years old. A church elder began Saturday’s service with an emotional message for the church community.

If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
