Arthritis - The Follow Up
I thought I should write this just in case some of you didn’t get the idea behind Do They All Have Arthritis? You know the type that says that it’s degrading to women, rude and irresponsible. Rest assured I am no Sean Avery.
I have the greatest respect for all good people. I could care less about all the categories that all the “accountants” place the human race in. (Is that a hanging participle? Never did get the hang of that). People are people. Period. . . .. …

Sheryl Crow said it best in her song “All I Want To Do”.
All I wanna do is have a little fun before I dieOne of my best bosses ever was a really bright, charming and attractive woman. Kitty had the good sense to “let me play” with PC’s when they were very new to the business world. How else would I learn to use these tools and teach the others in our department? The Internet wasn’t in widespread use then and computer courses were pretty much geared to teaching you how to turn on the power switch and type your name, address and your favourite recipe. Windows was only a twinkle in Microsoft’s eye. (1st laptop cost $10,000. You had to plug it in to use it. Weighed something like 17 lbs.)
So I have Kitty to blame for my ability to use the computer in a practical manner. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. How’s it hangin’, Kitty. Still in Slough? Or are you running some winery in the south of France. It would be so nice to talk to you again.
Kitty could have been in a lot of trouble if the “accountants” ever caught her using her unique management style on me.
Sorry, I had to stop there for a bit. iTunes was playing Norah, Ray and Billy. How do you do that Billy. You painted some beautiful pictures, Billy. You too, Ray. And Norah, just keep doin’ what you do. A few billion of us will listen.…Kitty had this thing she liked to do on her way out of the building. I’d be leaning on some filing cabinet talking to someone about something, somewhere else in the building. Pretty much had a handle on everybody’s first name in the place.
Really good songs get repeated. It’s called “Here We Go Again” - from Genius Loves Company, Billy sounds so good on the Hammond B3. Even the sixth time. Try cranking it up in his solo. Ray & Billy. Comforting to know their that memory lives on in their songs , isn’t it?…Kitty would give me that girlish liitle smile, toss her head back and say “good night, Johnnie” as she pinched my cheek and headed on out the door. Not that one. The one down there.
She never had any problem getting me to do anything she asked.
You don’t say no to an angel.
Kitty had arthritis lmaoYou don’t need to see this picture. There I am dancing in the kitchen to The Temptations in my Fat Pants . Think I’ll make a another cup of tea. This writing thing is pretty good stuff.
Here We Go Again. Just once more. OK. Just once more. I promise. OK. I lied lol OK. Here’s another one. Al Green/Lyle Lovett & Billy - Funny How Time Slips Away. Sounds like they had a blast. Billy, you are the man! Just once more lol You know it never stops lol Waaaaaay too much fun!
