For The Olympics, et al

Allan and Alison got married on August 1, and after the weekend reception, the planetary gravitational constant has remained the same despite the odds. That means all is well, as it should be in Lexington, both of them. That, in and of itself prompted selection of the "Ode to Joy". Naturally.

Unfortunately, Battie hasn't returned home. And Tiffany King wasn't miraculously healed by her second epidural. That didn't stop her from breaking in a new grill, although she may decide to try grill meat next time.

The Olympics have started, so I picked the KSB from Korea doing the swing version of the Ode to Joy, which provokes the Germans no end with the hand clapping. For those of you who want to see what Franki looks like, one of the singers is a pale imitation of her. She's much better looking in real life. Really. More as it happens. Oh, and say nice things to Glamourpuss, anyone named Mel or Claudia. Thanks.

We should have a beer sometime. Glad you're back.

Ode to Joy? Perfect choice.

Open Grove Claudia said...

Joy is my compass this month! Thanks for the reminder!

PhoenixHearse said...

I can't picture Franki and either of those dresses.

The CEO said...

Hi M@, absolutely! Sometime soon. Are you watching the Olympics?

Hi Puss, go get 'em tiger.

Hi O.G., you are a joy.

Hi Heather, Franki is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. She looks spectacular in jeans or a ball gown. What you might not know is she hangs out with astrophysicists a lot, and often goes to some of the major events around here. I have a pcture of Franki and my wife in the kitchen together. Too much for my heart to handle. And then, there's her warm, humorous personality...

WanderingGirl said...

I heart the Olympics!

And Franki IS in that video... you just don't see her 'cause she's a ninja and she's superfast and sneaky, too.

The CEO said...

Hi Tiff, how's the back. I am always afraid to talk too much about Franki's ninja qualities. She really is that fast you know. I remember her breaking concrete blocks by staring at them. If she was actually hitting them, she was doing it so fast I couldn't see it.

*waving*

Watched the opening and a bit of the fencing--and then retired outside to enjoy swatting mosquitos and flies. k.....maybe 'enjoy' was the wrong word? LOL

Good to hear from you, Monty. (was starting to worry a tad with the silence--but I'm like that...)
And congratulations to the newlyweds--Ode to Joy, indeed!

Here's hoping the back's feeling better and that you're finding your own moments of joy.

The CEO said...

Hi Mel,

I have been cutting back on the pain meds because they make me fur brained, and I'd rather try to ignore the pain than be stoopid. I have this great wife, and several places to go read. As long as I avoid food, and chocolate in particular as a source of joy, I'm OK. Otherwise, I'm adding poundage for short term joy. So, I'm better off going to your blog, and passing up the chocolate.

NoRegrets said...

Hey, you missed my party!

NoRegrets said...

I had a special chair for you and everything...

The CEO said...

Damn NoR, when was it? I missed the invitation.

Mel said...

<--prefers hot buttered, salted popcorn to chocolate ANY day!

And I do know about the irritating fuzzy brain syndrome.
Rawr!

Gimme popcorn!
;-)

Be safe, stay well, eh?

The CEO said...

Hi Mel, the Orville Reddenbacher is on the pantry shelf, and ready to pop. I melt the butter in the microwave. Thanks for the data! Have a fabulous weekend, and don't work too hard.

skinnylittleblonde said...

MMmmmHmmmmm...Lol, let me invite myself because I would love a fat handful of that popcorn AND some creamy milk chocolate. Yummy! They go so wonderful together!
Just checking in dear Monty to see how today went for you...
even though, I know, it went well...I'm still looking for confirmation & am sending you P&L. TY.

Alison said...

The planets seem to still be in alignment after our wedding. Huh.

The CEO said...

Hi Skinny, and you're always welcome at any get together, formal or otherwise.

Hi Ali, think Ode to Joy and forget the physics. Are you still laughing?
