This past Saturday I really missed the mark with my seating strategy. I got into an early funk and struggled to dig my way out. Appropriately, at the time I was wearing Peanuts yellow and brown. This is a mustard yellow Land’s End teeshirt (my aunt bought for me) under the same brown sweater vest I wore on Valentine’s Day. This was how I originally wanted to present the sweater vest; because of the lover’s holiday I felt a red tee was more appropriate for that night.
These pictures were taken at the end of the night, which would explain perhaps why I look I’m caught at the crossroads of cracked out and relieved. No matter how much I plan ahead for the Saturday hosting situation, with my mathematical models and whatnot, I find the sands can shift beneath my feet very quickly. It leaves me feeling like Charlie Brown with the football. Charles Schultz character famously said, “I’ve developed a new philosophy… I only dread one day at a time.”
You are one cunning ham. Like a caramel dessert or the fall foliage arrangement of a squirrel. I love it. ,Like I said already in the online editon of the Times, “It was absolutely zinging with zest…pick up your spirits and get on the road”.
listen snuggles, if yer gonna dress up as Charlie Brown and go out in public, ya gotta accept that people are gonna yank that football out of your way sometimes. its gods will- like a smile!
Charles Schultz was brilliant. did you see the documentary on PBS (?) about him? and yes, i too, ‘only dread one day at a time.’
you’re too clever a rascal to be charlie brown though. KNOW THAT!
