Breakfast Tips

YESTERDAY, LOVE WAS SUCH AN EASY GAME TO PLAY!

On tour in Guadalajara with actress Irlanda Mora and an unidentified girl, many, many, many years ago! We were appearing with a comedy play in a local night club and we were taping some promo footage for local TV channels to advertise the show. 

 This photo also proves I've met some women in my time! 

TURNING 70 TODAY...

Turning 70 is an important milestone not just for me but I guess for anyone who is lucky enough to get this far in life. I thank my lucky stars in looking after me all these strenuous years where I've had my ups and downs, like everybody else, but where I've also managed to keep my sense of humor, my sanity, my health and my family and friends who have tolerated me for lo, so many years!

Hopefully, this elevator will still keep climbing a few more floors above!

The Lizard and I

I had a small intruder slip into my apartment over the last weekend. It was a little brown garden lizard, the variety commonly known as a skink or, more precisely, a Lampropholis Guichenoti.
I was fixing my breakfast when suddenly, the little creature sprinted out from under the fridge and scared the bejesus out of me. At first I just saw a dashing blur but then it stopped abruptly and I could see the tiny reptile very clearly. I was relieved but when I tried to catch it and return it to the yard, the diminutive dickens ran out on me and hid somewhere else.  The lizard remained nowhere to be found until this morning when I saw it again on the carpet beside my desk, just lying there, motionless. I slowly grabbed a small Tupperware container and trapped it with a swift move.  The lizard is now back in its natural habitat at the backyard, however I still wonder where the devil did he get in here in the first place since I live on a third floor!

LORD OF THE IDIOTS.

At The Crack of Dawn...

As the body becomes older, the joints and bones become creakier and noisier as I've come to realize every time I get up from bed.  Each morning becomes a veritable symphony of onomatopoeia reminiscent of those old Don Martin cartoons from MAD magazine!

The 10 Year Challenge!

There's a new trend going on in Facebook and Instagram which consists of posting two side by side photographs of you, taken ten years apart. The underlining message is, I suppose, to show the world how well (or how poorly) you've aged in those years. Of course, if you are like Benjamin Bottom, the result can be quite interesting, but for the rest of the humans, the sight of showing yourself aging, is not really for everybody.
However, knowing that this blog is rarely seen by others except by myself, I can confidently post my slowly decaying process without hesitation.
So, here's my 10 Year Challenge post hoping I can make it through the next ten years still in one piece!
