The layout of this page can be confusing… but Mr. Sherman’s comment about Roy Clark doesn’t say “Reply to Nighthawks.”
I believe it’s not about the Cat Steven’s video, but in reference to “Yesterday When We Were Young”… up on top, right below Cleo and Claude…. which is sung by Roy Clark.
I confess that I didn’t know that… I had to look at it on YouTube to find out.
….
Meanwhile… Sam Cooke’s version of “Another Saturday Night” has been one of my most persistent ear worms since long before I ever heard of Cat Stevens.
Cat Stevens’s version is pretty good, I think… though I prefer Sam Cooke’s.
A few years later, though, he probably wasn’t too happy about having sung it, clashing as it must have with his later Muslim beliefs.
My Boring Sunday bit: Starting weight: 184 lbs. / Goal weight: 145 lbs. (-39 lbs.) / Weight lost to last week: 9.8 lbs. (29.2 lbs. left)
I’m going to get this absolutely straight this week (I found another error / I’m going to call it another transposition error when editing) ! ! !
Volume of one pound of Butter:
Length: 4.5″
Width: 2.625″
Depth: 2.625″
4.5 in × 2.625 in ×2.625 in = 31.0078125 in.³/lb. butter
31.0078125 in.³/lb. butter × 39lbs. = 1,209.3046875 in.³ of me to lose.
9.8 lbs. × 31.0078125 in.³/lb. butter = 303.8765625 in.³ of me lost to Sunday, May 1, 2022
1,209.3046875 in³ – 303.8765625 in.³ = 905.428125 in.³ left to lose.
Last week’s weight: 174.2 lbs. / Goal weight today:172.7 lbs.
I am now 175.2 lbs.
174.2 lbs. – 175.2 lbs = -1.0 lbs.
29.2 lbs. – -1.0 lbs. = 30.2 lbs. (balance of desired loss to reach 145 lbs.)
31.0078125 in.³/lb. butter × -1.0 lbs. = -31.0078125 in.³ lost this week.
303.8765625 in.³ + -31.0078125 in.³ = 272.86875 in.³ of me lost to date (936.4359375 in.³ to go)
175.2 lbs. – 1.5 lbs. = 173.7 lbs. (next Sunday’s goal weight)
I’m going backwards on the weight loss. I didn’t think having nine beers total in various pubs would have that much affect. Obviously they did, so I’ll cut back to three again.
The exercise regimen is going well. My fitness level has improved a good deal since the start 7 weeks ago (it’s still not saying much, but I do notice it). Week eight begins with added “weight,” three new exercises, and another of the originals modified.
My Trikke got a flat tire on Tuesday, a Doctor’s appointment Wednesday, and bad weather Thursday cut down the riding this week; better weather had better start this week is all I can say.
My step counter totaled 22,838 steps this week (the $2.10 I spent on it is still delivering a good deal of amusement 🙂 ).
Among mothers, few can claim as deep a bond with her baby as a koala mom. Because her pregnancy lasts only a month—likely making her the envy of other mammal mothers—her baby emerges into her embrace still in the embryonic stage, about the size of a jellybean. Mom will spend the next year carrying her baby, called a joey, either inside her pouch or on her back, a feat that makes her annual Mother’s Day card well-earned.
Sometimes inaccurately called ‘koala bears,’ koalas aren’t bears at all. Koalas are marsupials, and like most marsupials, they have maternal pouches. Other marsupials include kangaroos, wombats, and opossums, but the universally recognized koala might be the most photogenic of the gang. As such, the adorable creatures have become symbols of their native Australia.
If they always seem to be striking a relaxed pose, that’s because they’re sedentary tree-dwellers, inhabiting the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia. A koala’s diet consists mainly of eucalyptus leaves, which are low in calories and nutrients—that’s why a koala typically spends 20 hours a day sleeping or resting. That doesn’t leave time for much else but eating. Good thing koalas are asocial animals and tend to be loners. If you ever see two koalas together, they’re likely mother and joey, making a koala’s mother-child bond all the more special.

Lot of money, but other choices were worse.
That is a lot of film playing at the Regal!
.
Are the cats truly reincarnations?
Hmmm … whence the mysterious 3-dot symbol on JFK Jr’s arm?
I hovered over it and it says screenshot and a date and tine.
That’s a fun video.
I wish i had seen him in his prime.
Back when he still crowd-surfed.

I hope old Roscoe there isn’t the source of the stains on the bed covers.
I thought it looked icky too… but looking at it larger… I don’t think those are stains.
I think it’s an unfortunate print that features sepia “shadows” of the black designs.
Someone once gave me beige sheets in a different print, that produced a similar effect… they never looked clean.
O.M.G.! Did it melt?
A chocolate and vanilla dogpuddle.
Eskimo Dreams by Giuliano Ferri
One of Roy Clark’s best songs.
Clothing, hair, and almost everyone smoking.
I don’t think this is related to Roy Clark’s Saturday Night. I associate the song with Sam Cooke, though Cat Stevens puts a unique spin on it.

Nice! I never knew what Steve Winwood looked like.
Nah… that’s what Steve Winwood looked like a few years ago.
This is what Steve Winwood looked like when he was a rock n’ roll icon…
Love the flute in Ruby Tuesday.
Well – have a peaceful Mothers’ Day everyone.
Cleo sure is willing to skate on thin ice.
What if that clueless idiot declares himself too moronic to feed a dog?
To what creature?
coconut cream pie
If he doesn’t understand what Cleo is trying to say, that book is definitely for him.
Wait… what?
Haps Mom’s Day all you mothers out there.
Have a coke with your favorite student nurse. (((((HuGz!)))))
I’m kinda pro nurse.
Me too. I’m kinda up close and personal with quite a few of them and hopefully about to become even more of them.
