I was working on the next installment of Les Cent Jours when I just flat ran out of time.
But ...
We have visitors inbound. LUSH and her tribe arrive tonight (last night as you read this), The Nuke and her tribe on Saturday. We will have a full house over the next week, blogging might get sparse. Especially as there will be four grandchildren to entertain!
So I've got that going for me.
And for all the Foo Fighters fans out there ...
That's off their new album But Here We Are, which I preordered and received last weekend. I've been listening to it, well, not quite non-stop, but close to it. That's their new drummer in the video, Josh Freese, who replaced the late, great Taylor Hawkins.
I love the album, it has a lot to do with loss and carrying on afterwards. Solace for me, with not a little pain as well. In my opinion there isn't a bad song on the album. Though YMMV, it is what it is.
Hopefully I can get another episode of Les Cent Jours to you within the next cuppla. Until then ...
Ciao!
Hey! Hey! Family!! More photos. Is that an actual LP sarge?
ReplyDeleteNah, CD. I'm not that old school.
DeleteGood to hear. My best to your family. I won't be able to fill in as my wife and I just landed in DC for some sightseeing over the next 3 days, including Udvar Hazy.
ReplyDeleteWow, have you ever been to Udvar-Hazy before? It's excellent.
DeleteThe days of museuming are long past. And the future days of museuming I am not looking forward to, and I hope don't happen for a long time. I'll just have to satisfy myself and Mrs. Andrew with any virtual tours we can find.
DeleteI get that.
DeleteHave a splendid time!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Monsieur Badger!
DeleteHow wonderful! Have the best of times Sarge! - TB
ReplyDeleteThanks, TB!
DeleteFamily time is precious and, unfortunately, usually limited. Enjoy it while you can. We’ll be here waiting patiently for details.

It's been fun already, it's gonna be a great week!
DeleteFamily - our most important earthly possession. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteVery true! Thanks, Joe, I will!
DeleteHappily waiting, scheduling hotel for the Trites Reunion this summer up north, first since the Covid Panic.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!
DeleteA house full of family is good thing, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the voices of my grandchildren ringing throughout the house.
DeleteI'll check in at midnight to see if you've got things queued up and if not, well, sad clown music here we come!!!! Muhahahahahahaaaaaa..... Or maybe other music.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy family time. Is there a particular occasion or is it just the end of the school year or sumtin? I mean, if we see the sky glowing in the direction of Rhode Island, knowing there's a birfday or something would help alleviate fears of Russian nuclear attacks (and now that Tuna et al are going to the DC swamp, can't hope for nuclear cleansing fire until after the weekend is over (joking... but am I? you to decide privately...)
As to everything else, we'll be waiting for your next install.
Everybody had some time available. LUSH hasn't been home in five years, really wanted to come home. The Nuke also had time so, here we are.
DeleteI might have something for tomorrow, but yeah, check at midnight. Let the readers sweat until then. Mwahahahahahahah!
Huzzah for family time!
ReplyDeleteHuzzah, indeed!
DeleteHave a wonderful family time! We'll be here when you are ready!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary!
DeleteThat sounds great! Family beats all. Ours is here next week as well. Glad the ocean is warming for them.
ReplyDeleteFamily rules!
