The Daily Delaney

I know they're roasted, not because the package says so (there isn't one) but because they're warm!  AND I'm drinking  Bailey's on the rocks out of a glass made of Glass! Dear God, they're going to have to pry me off this flight! Thank you, Karri Meleo! Here's a piece for today... A Friend in Need... from 2008...

Just a man, sitting with an old friend, looking out at the past, remembering a time when they stood together in the same place and faced the same ordeal. If you've never been to D.C., go while you still have the chance. Say what you want about the people there that get all the press. When you walk around that town, you're walking through the biggest museum in the world. And what's on display is America the idea, with all its majesty, all its arrogance, and all its idealism. Every now and then, it's worth thinking about.

This has been a week  of great sorrow and loss for me. Eventually, I will write about it here... For now, I'll just post the pieces I was working on when the bad news came through... What's sorrow without a healthy dose of irony? Shecky the Bitter Clown (from the collection of David and Linda Stahl)      Don't Tell Me What's Funny... I Know What's Funny! Second thoughts on a Chosen Career                                             Finally Hit the Big Time!                                                                (available in my Etsy Store ) I can't look at these pieces without hearing my stepfather's voice...
