MY VERY MUCH MOST FAVORITIST AUNT OF ALL TIME

Our mid-May nights are still bordering on cool to cold, with daytime air mainly remaining on the cool side despite the warm sun.  A frost warning has been issued north of us tonight up around Southampton. This is all set to change Monday when warmer air is finally due to move into our area.  It could even be up to 80°F starting Monday.  Yea, I thought, finally something new for Al to complain about when the humidity rolls in.

Skipped my car ride this morning and got right at my metal shed clean-up job.  I want to get that project done before Monday when the warmer air rolls in.  That shed heats up inside on hot days, and I don't want to have to be in there on those hot days.  Happy to say that by the end of the day, and with Lorraine's help, the majority of the shed clean-up is done.  Even vacuumed the concrete floor.  Sure got rid of a lot of stuff again today.  I am quite pleased.

Talked to Aunt Jean last night, and although she is doing well for her nearly 98 years, she does feel her age creeping up on her over the past little while.  She is still on oxygen for sleeping, but does all right without it during the day.  Her legs are growing weaker, and with her weakened heart, she can't walk very far with her walker before having to stop for a rest . But here's the kicker: she still enjoys driving her car in the manic Sarasota traffic.  She drives herself to the hairdresser for a haircut every few weeks, and a couple of times a week, she drives over to visit her friend Pat for supper.  And do you know that it was only 5 years ago that she played her last game of golf at age 93.   She's a real trooper and she is my very much most favoritist Aunt of all time:)) 

Al's Music Box;)) Don't Dream It's Over is a song by rock band Crowded House, recorded for their 1986 self-titled debut studio album.  The song was composed and written by New Zealand frontman Neil Finn and released in October 1986 as the fourth single from the album.  "Don't Dream It's Over" became the band's biggest international hit, reaching No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in April 1987. The song reached No. 1 in Canada and in Finn's native New Zealand.  At the 1986 Countdown Australian Music Awards the song was nominated for three awards, winning Best Video.  AllMusic described the song as a "majestic ballad".  Cash Box said "The easy going and pretty song camouflages a pained longing. Neil Finn's voice, recognisable from his stint with Split Enz, is reedy and expressive and full of irony."

Groaner's Corner:(( A lawyer opened the door of his BMW, when suddenly a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely. When the police arrived at the scene, the lawyer was hopping up and down with rage, complaining bitterly about the damage to his precious BMW. "Officer, look what they've done to my Beeeemer!!!" he shrieked.  "You lawyers are so materialistic, it's amazing!!!" retorted the officer, "You're so worried about your stupid BMW, that you didn't even notice that your left arm was ripped off!!!" "Oh no...." replied the lawyer, looking down and noticing for the first time the bloody stump where his left arm had once been. "Where's my Rolex???"

A six-year-old boy called his mother from his friend Charlie's house and confessed he had broken a lamp when he threw a football in their living room.
"But, Mom," he said, brightening, "you don't have to worry about buying another one. Charlie's mother said it was irreplaceable."

At my friends' wedding reception, the groom stood to say a few words. He turned to his bride's mother. "You've given me a gift," he began, "a gift that..."Here he paused in thought, whereupon his mother-in-law completed the sentence, "That you can't return!"

A little boy walked up to homeplate in an empty baseball field, with his bat and ball in hand.  As he threw the ball up in the air, he proclaimed, "I am the best ball player ever!" He swung with all his might, but missed.  He did the same thing and missed again.  He picked up the ball, tossed it up one more time, said "I am the best ball player in the world!" Then he swung and missed again.  "Wow!" he said. "What a great pitcher I am!"
