 20th Sept 2020

well America is on the verge of uncivil war, and well, so much more happened at home here in Birmingham, and Over there were the news is made.

I need to write a COMEDY to make us all smile and be HAPPY

but events make that hard  So have patience and I'll deliver something soon

I was toying with the idea to dumping  the Full English, and I don't mean

breakfast but The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker in English, as written by 

me.

But it'll be my last fig leaf so I'll spare you all. I spotted a stay comment, though

usually they are just ads for rubbish, that's why I vet everything

This is my writing space, not  Twitter for morons, as spelt T R U M P

I do think they will Impeach him again

Though Nancy a Hail Mary on the Rosary might be of more use

Or maybe Bussing, but  Just to the Polls for Everybody

Bloomberg that's your Destiny

In future make Election Day a Public Holiday

with FREE TRAVEL TO POLLS

but maybe I am naive as the Corrupt Power Hungry People seem

to be in the ascendancy 

Why

Because people could not be bothered to get off the couch

All forms of Government are bad, but Democracy the least Evil

Churchill said something like that, and HE faced down Nazi Evil

The only way to make History matter is by  VOTING

Then you have the tools to get on with the job

That's all I'll say for today. My  big daughter has gone away

back to University, so it's quieter here, just me and  small daughter

Totoro the cat  has a new collar, with 2 bells, to give the local vermin

a chance, but she's still lightning fast

here's a smile to keep you going till I write something new

from 2012

Growing Up For Dads  ©

By Michael Casey

Does anybody remember Algebra? My daughter is doing lots of maths and she asks me to help. Arithmetic I can do and I remember getting 4 of the best on my behind by the teacher with a pump, for not knowing my times tables.

 Next time he asked I knew them. I was 8 at the time. I did do my Maths exam one year early along with English but that's a long time ago. My wife was a toddler then, I do have a young wife. But its at the edge of my memory when I am  asked  questions by my daughter. 

She moves to 2ndary   school in September and having an 11year old in the house is amazing. And it only feels like seconds ago when she was born in the middle of the night.  So time and tide and algebra waits for no man. Arithmetic is spontaneous, I don't even know just how do I know the answers.  I just do, and that's great because I can help my daughter. She looks exactly like me, as I look at her face its like looking into a magical looking glass and I'm seeing myself as a child, though she is a feminine version of myself. 

 So I have grown older with silver hair, a sign of wisdom I hope, but in her face I see the future again. I hope I'll be of use as she progresses through 2ndary school.  I had to visit the school today to fill a few forms in, I walked it so I could tell her just how much time she'd need to get there. 

I ended up walking 5miles or 8 k today,  good for my fat belly no doubt. I was able to answer questions on Quakers and The Society Of Friends, I was even able to tell her that Dame Judy Dench, M, James Bond's boss was a Quaker.  

So I'm not totally useless after all.
