Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 13, 2023

Bard time

The Shake has something to say about everything. Like “Beware the ides of March!”

I think there needs to be better ideas of March.

The tides of May can be dangerous!!

He started on A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

And Janice spells it right!

King John, act three, seen one. And I am mildly kicking myself, because I didn’t recognize it. I have a thing about Shakespeare, but it let me down this time. Congratulations to Jimmy Johnson for knowing that obscure play so well— unless he just looked in a quotes database for something about sunshine.

March weather makes me all melancholy and despondent.

When Janis asked “Did you start…” I thought she was going to continue with “drinking early again?”

What is Alchemy? I know it’s turning lead to gold, but what else does it do? I remember a The Twilight Zone episode where some guys robbed a gold shipment. Him and his cohorts traveled ahead in time to escape the law. The guys had a fight and two of the three killed each other. The last man standing needed medical care and tried to pay people to take him to a doctor. He offered them a gold brick. They looked at him like he was crazy. At that time gold was as valuable as a piece of paper.

Or is that the whiskey talking?….

Good wine/whisky helps.

I found something good about DST. I kept wanting to wake up a 7AM and kept waking at 6AM and laying there. Now, I wake up at 7, like I wanted.

Was Arlo startled on Standard or Daylight time?

Surely Edgar Allan Poe must have something good to say about sunrise.

…this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire,….

We managed to actually change all the time pieces which do not change on the 12th – other than our vehicles which change on their own – except my watch. Battery ran out in the watch in mid 2020 and did not buy a battery until late last year and still have not put it in the watch. Have not needed to use the watch since Covid started as not going anywhere where I need to what time it is to keep track of what I am doing other than home and there is a clock in every room.

On the other hand – my mom is in a nursing home and my sister did not get there until this past Thursday to update mom’s watch.
