“Pink, Pink? What’s wrong with pink? I think you’ve got a pink kink in your think.
'Doesn’t matter what color. That’s a nope,
“Whether it’s pink, purple or heliotrope.
“Sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down. When you’re down just look around,
“You’ve got a body, good legs and fine feet. Get your head in the right place and then you’re complete.
“As for the dancing, just slap your foot down and bound and rebound…”
From Bounding, a Pixar short film. (A little sheep—all fluffy and self-righteous, gets dragged out of his desert home, sheered and dumped back into the drenching rain, all naked and pink. Along comes a Jack-a-lope with sage advice. "Bound, bound and rebound.")
Back home—rebounding. Had a thought while traveling up the I -5 roadway on the way home from our Thanksgiving trip to Oregon. Imagine this: “We’re having split pea soup for dinner,” says Mom.
“Yea,” says the kids.
“That’s wonderful,” says the Papa.
You think?
Or would they say, “Pea soup? Yuck.”
Actually the pea soup was pretty good, especially when accompanied by a glass of wine and followed by a chocolate éclair.
Anderson’s Split Pea Soup. I have seen that advertised for the last 40 years. We stopped this time, happened to stop at the Anderson’s motel, and there it was—next door, the restaurant. Had to have pea soup. The power of advertising.
Back home. Time for DD and I to pour positive affirmations into our heads. Do you do that? Is it hard to stay positive sometimes?
Saw daughter number one and family in Oregon—that was good. Feeling sad now, a sister-in law passed away as we were driving home. It was a shock, she didn’t tell people she had cancer. I didn’t know her well. She was Korean and our language differences was a barrier—a shame. I wish I had known her better.
While in Oregon we loaded up the rest of the house belongings, HD loaded up some machinery he wanted from his place of business, he dragged a U-haul trailer back to our house here, and now we have another full garage. While parked at the lab, someone took a hammer to the truck windshield and Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, we begged and HD waited until a nice company replaced our windshield.
Humm…what was it with that???
Right now the sun is shining. I’m happy to be back in California. “Bound, bound, bound and rebound.”
