Enough time has gone by since the election for me to begin to recover from the depression I sank into that I can try to get back to normal life.
I intend to devote the remainder of the time to solving the great unsolved mysteries of the universe.
The first one I intend to investigate is "WHERE DO ALL THE ONE MISSING SOCKS GO?"
When I was in the Navy and all the laundry was done in massive machines the size of a school bus, we all knew that the elusive one legged laundry man was stealing the odd socks for himself.
The seventeen year old high school dropouts who worked in the laundry were more than happy to let him take the socks if he would do most of the work and stay out of sight most of the time. That left them more time to remove at least one button from each officer's and chief's dress shirts each laundry day.
When I was retired from the Navy and my wife usually did the laundry I found out that she was merciless in discarding any worn sock without necessarily looking for its mate. Mystery solved!
Now I live alone and do all my own laundry and since I have a small machine, I do laundry almost every day. I still lose just one sock in a pair every so often. Who can figure? Is the peg leg laundry man still around? Is the ghost of my late wife still working to see that I replace my socks, and other clothing, before they are reduced to rags? Any ideas will be helpful.
I do not intend to spend a lot of time on each question. From time to time I will move on to other topics like, the significance of human existence or the nature of God or the uniqueness of the social bond in the former USA as it decays into the Socialist Peoples Republic of the Beltway.
On a more practical note, it is almost Christmas and as usual I have done almost nothing to prepare.
I am going to visit Peggy at the Richmond outpost for Christmas and then on Saturday I am going back to Jamaica for a few weeks. I don't travel with my computer so I don't know how regularly I will post, but I have learned to check and answer e-mail from the hotel computers.
I will probably have something to post in the next few days.
About Me
- JIM LAMB
- Virginia beach, Virginia, United States
- After 40 years of marriage to a wonderful, talented and beautiful woman, I am now alone. As I retired from the US Navy, and then retired from several other companies and professions, now I am retired from being married. I guess i am also semi-retired from being a father. Since my children never obeyed me even when they were young, I really can't expect them to follow my advice now that they are all adults and some are even quite middle aged. So I am going to harass my six children by visiting them on a regular basis and foisting advce on them that I know they will ignore. Fortunately the is no need to retire from grandfathering. I just want more to spoil than the 7 I already have.
